ARALUX is not only a sanctuary—it is a sacred laboratory of the future and a durational ceremonial composition created by internationally recognized artist, Oxford-trained philosopher, and High Priestess Lia Chavez.

Located on over 400 acres of protected jungle in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, the site includes a historic hacienda, a revered cenote, and a thriving botanical ecosystem. Born of Lia’s ancestral return to her Mayan roots and shaped by initiatory training across six continents, ARALUX is a radiant response to the Earth’s call—a convergence of ecological guardianship, sentient architecture, and radical artistic experimentation.

Through Chavez’s pioneering practice of consciousness as artistic material, ARALUX becomes a multidimensional research site where sacred imagination, transdisciplinary aesthetics, and contemplative technologies merge to investigate the future of perception. Here, alchemical traditions, neuroscience, and ritual design coalesce into new forms of embodied intelligence.
