White Road Labs

Independent software studio

Digital tools for Mayan cosmovision.

White Road Labs builds instruments for living this tradition in the present. An instrument does not tell you who you are. It increases what you can perceive.

The white road is a path a person walks. We make software so that path can be lived now, with care for the lineage and for the people who already teach it.

The vision

We create digital tools that carry Mayan cosmovision into daily life. The calendar is not a personality chart. It is a way of seeing time, and of finding one’s own guide.

Living with the days is the path. It begins as another way of seeing time, then becomes a way to build from what you were born with. We translate that tradition slowly, so it can be lived rather than heard once.

Software calculates. A person makes the meaning. The tools do not replace a teacher, a reading, or ceremony.

My Q’ij

The first tool

A living companion for the Cholq’ij, and a way to live one’s purpose through the Mayan Cross. It helps a person meet the sacred rhythm, record how they lived it, and recognize what returns.

A new round of testing begins on 8 Imox, October 30, 2026. Newcomers are welcome to join the waiting list. We’ll ask about your availability to use the app daily before sending invitations.

Founders

It started with a Substack. Thibaud, a software engineer studying the Maya Cosmovision, found Diana’s writing on the Cholq’ij in Walking the White Road. A conversation began, and then a collaboration: first a Mayan Cross calculator, then a calendar plugin that carried the sacred 260-day count into digital calendars. Then the idea sprouted: the Cholq’ij as a pocket companion.

Information was everywhere. Experience was rare. Diana and Thibaud created My Q’ij so you can live the wisdom of the sacred calendar, not just read about it.

They met in person in Guatemala. Diana later began formal training under Thibaud’s teacher, Tat Juan Carlos Romera Sales, an initiated Ajq’ij (Maya wisdom guide) who teaches the Maya traditions and calendrical systems through a comprehensive online school. In March of 2026, they founded White Road Labs to pioneer interactive digital tools for this tradition. My Q’ij is the first, rooted in the pre-Hispanic knowledge of the K’iche’ Maya.
