San Arte Cultural Arts mission is to activate healing strength, innate wisdom and collective leadership in our communities through empowering service and education rooted in traditional Mexican Medicines.
De Corazon Circles: through healing justice frameworks that embolden practitioners to integrate radical love and belonging in their homes, classrooms, communities, and beyond. We envision a safe and equitable world where restorative interactions transform individuals, ration shops, communities and systems through the prevention, repair and deep healing of harm.
