**Consuelo Zavala** (December 14, 1873 – June 22, 1956) was a pioneering Mexican feminist teacher and the founder of one of the first secular private schools in Mérida, Mexico. As a Generator in Human Design, Zavala exemplified the qualities of response and vitality, which were integral to her lifelong commitment to education and women’s rights. Her Sacral Inner Authority guided her to make impactful decisions that resonated deeply with her core values, enabling her to respond effectively to the needs of her community and students.

Zavala is credited with establishing the first kindergarten in Mérida to utilize the Froebel method, emphasizing the importance of play in early childhood education. Her dedication to advancing women’s rights was notably demonstrated when she organized the First Feminist Congress in Mexico, authorized by state governor Salvador Alvarado, in 1916—an event that marked a significant milestone in the feminist movement in Mexico.

In 1922, she co-founded the Feminist League of Yucatán alongside prominent figures such as Elvia Carrillo Puerto and Raquel Dzib Cicero, as part of the Socialist Party of the Southeast. Her influence extended beyond the classroom; one of her students, Antonia Jiménez Trava, became the first female lawyer to graduate with a law degree in Yucatán in 1939, showcasing the profound impact of Zavala’s educational philosophy.

Zavala’s Human Design profile of 1/3 reflects her investigative nature and her ability to learn through trial and error, a characteristic she applied throughout her distinguished teaching career. Her channels—64-47, 13-33, and 3-60—further illustrate her capacity for deep emotional understanding and transformation, as well as her ability to communicate effectively with others.

In recognition of her contributions to education, she was awarded the Ignacio Manuel Altamirano Medal in 1948 for fifty years of dedicated service. Her legacy endures, with six schools in Mexico bearing her name, including three in Mérida, one in Akil, one in Kanasín, and one in Tizimín. Zavala passed away in Mérida at the age of 82, leaving behind a profound impact on the educational landscape and the feminist movement in Mexico. Her Incarnation Cross, the Right Angle Cross of Eden (11/12 | 6/36), symbolizes her role in nurturing and cultivating a new generation of empowered individuals, reflecting her lifelong commitment to fostering growth and development in those around her.
