The Tree of Life is a symbol that appears in various spiritual and mythological narratives across cultures and religions throughout the world.  Among the Mayans, the Tree of Life is manifested as a ceiba tree, known by different names such as Wacah Chan, Yax Imix Che , or simply as the Yaxche tree.

The Ceiba tree was considered sacred in Mayan culture, and currently, it is still planted in community centers of the Mayan people. The tree has the potential to grow up to 70 meters tall, and its trunk can reach a diameter of 3 meters. In the Riviera Maya, these remarkable trees can be seen in a park known as La Ceiba Park.

Wakah Chan, The Mayan Tree of Life, symbolizes a timeless story, encompassing the cycle of life and inspiring a holistic community grounded in sustainability, unity, and the nurturing of both mind and soul.

The name “Wakah Chan” carries significance, translating to the “Raised-up Sky Tree” or “Vertical Tree.” This symbolic tree represents the interconnectedness of existence, originating in the underworld (Xibalbá), ascending through the earthly realm, often referred to as Kab and reaching into the heavenly domain. Its ascent is not just a metaphor; it marks the birth of life on Earth and sets the stars and heavenly bodies in motion, symbolizing the continuous cosmic dance.

In the earthly kingdom, symbolizing the realm where humans reside, a square divided into four parts was a representation, with each quadrant bearing its own unique symbolic color. At the square’s center stood Yaax Imix Che—the Great Mother Ceiba—a symbolic representation of the universe’s center, as she occupied all three realms simultaneously. The branches of the Ceiba tree extended into the kingdom of heaven, home to the 13 deities known as Oxlaun Ti-Ku. Simultaneously, the tree trunk was situated on the land inhabited by people, while its roots reached into the underground kingdom or the underworld, home to the 9 Lords of the Night, also known as Bolon-Ti-Ku.
Wakah Chan, therefore, becomes a cosmic axis connecting the three realms: the underworld, the earthly realm, and the heavens. This interwoven connection is a testament to the Mayan belief in the cyclical nature of life, where birth, death, and rebirth are integral parts of the cosmic order.

The transformation of the old world into a new one is mirrored in the narrative of Wakah Chan. This sacred tree serves as a timeless symbol of change, growth, and the continuous journey towards a better and more harmonious future. Its branches, reaching towards the heavens, symbolize the potential for renewal and evolution, perpetuating the cycle of life.
The celestial connection deepens with the association of Wakah Chan with the creation of the Milky Way. Its symbolic ascent not only orchestrates the birth of life on Earth but also sets in motion the celestial bodies that ornament the night sky. Within the branches of Wakah Chan reside gods and celestial beings, and animals find their place, embodying the interconnectedness of the natural world.

This may be inspired by the profound concept of Wakah Chan, a holistic community emerges, embodying the values of sustainability, unity, and the nurturing of both mind and soul. In this community, people gather to create a new world where self-sufficiency is paramount—cultivating their water and food. Facilities such as gyms, swimming pools, and multiple play areas enrich the community experience. The vision extends to education, with a new time school offering a program adapted to the demands of the contemporary world.

In conclusion, Wakah Chan stands as a timeless symbol, echoing the cycle of life and inspiring a holistic community rooted in sustainability, unity, and the comprehensive well-being of its residents. This sacred Mayan Tree of Life continues to offer profound insights, encouraging harmonious coexistence with nature and a transformative journey towards a better future.
