Voces Que Sanan was born from that reality and from the deep desire to transform pain into creation and healing into connection. Through social theater, participatory photography, and popular education, we create safe and creative spaces where emotions are honored, stories are shared, and women rediscover their confidence, purpose, and collective power.
We believe that art has the power to heal, unite, and awaken consciousness because when a woman heals, her family and community heal as well.
Voces Que Sanan Community Healing is more than a project it is a movement of love, resilience, and transformation.
Introduction
We are a communitybased initiative that uses art as a tool to strengthen the emotional wellbeing, cultural identity, and social cohesion of Latina migrant women and families in California.
Through creative and collective practices, the project aims to provide safe and inclusive spaces where life experiences can be expressed, acknowledged, and transformed into actions that empower and uplift the community.
Our Mission
To promote emotional healing, community wellbeing, and collective leadership through art and popular education. We create safe and inclusive spaces where Latina women and families can express their experiences, strengthen their identity, and transform their stories into actions that generate social change.
Our Vision
To become a community reference in California and eventually nationwide in the use of art as a tool for healing, empowerment, and building more connected, conscious, and compassionate communities. We deeply believe that when a woman heals, her family and her community heal as well.
Voces Que Sanan
Comnunity Healing
Emerges as a response to the challenges faced by the Latino community, using theater as a tool for personal and collective transformation. Through workshops and theatrical activities, the project creates safe spaces where women can explore their stories, express their emotions, and develop skills to advocate for their rights. This approach not only promotes emotional healing but also empowerment and the building of a stronger collective identity.
The project's goal is to drive transformation that begins at the individual level and extends to the community. By empowering Latina women to share their stories, Voces que Sanan not only strengthens participants but also fosters a culture of inclusion, resilience, and social justice laying the foundation for a more equitable society where every woman can raise her voice and claim her place.
