We (Mireya and Rosy) are artists and creative arts therapists living in the Bay Area.

And, what kind of structure and container could safely hold and guide a diversity of experiences?" Once we found ans …

Do you thoroughly enjoy the consumption of beef and want to support the local sustainable agriculture movement? Then t …

Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history.
