✨ At Pachamay, we continue to grow and expand our social impact with love and purpose ✨

We are very happy to share that our social work in Los Angeles, California keeps flourishing. This week, we hosted a beautiful art therapy workshop for people with Down syndrome in the Jewish community, led by our CEO and founder, Mayte Fernandez

It’s impossible to describe how heartwarming and fulfilling it was to see the smiles, kindness, and honesty of each participant. 💛
This workshop focused on metallic painting on black canvas, a technique that allowed everyone to express their emotions, connect within, and transform their feelings into art.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this special experience possible.
We continue creating spaces of healing, creativity, and unity. 🌿🎨✨

✨ At PachaMay, we continue sharing the magic of art therapy ✨

We carry on with our social mission in Los Angeles, CA, bringing art therapy experiences to diverse communities.
This time, we worked with individuals with Down syndrome, who, through art, were able to express themselves freely, connect with their emotions, and enjoy the creative process. 💛🎨

Art is a powerful tool for inclusion, transformation, and human connection. 🌈

🌎 ¡Felicidades a Tito Torres! 🔥

Como movimiento de arteterapia que apoya a los artistas, no podíamos dejar pasar la oportunidad de celebrar a un gran amigo y creador que nos inspira desde hace años. Desde los primeros fanzines y proyecciones de mapping en 2018, hemos sido fans y colaboradores de su arte.

MUTAR 🌎
El cierre del Verano de las Artes Disruptivas fue un verdadero acto de identidad, memoria y comunidad. Aunque el CAC no se abrió por agenda, lo ocuparon y proyectaron con contracultura, dando vida a la primera edición de Ruido y Mapping en el CAC. Los invito a que vean su trabajo: me fascina cómo combina símbolos e imágenes ancestrales, y como Pachamay, siempre buscamos fomentar y preservar la conexión con nuestros ancestros. Esto no fue espectáculo ni entretenimiento: fue un ritual urbano abierto para todos.

¡Felicitaciones, querido amigo, por este valioso trabajo! Sigue inspirando y creando arte que transforma. 🙌

🌳✨ Sometimes, all you need is to pause…
Hug a tree, take a deep breath, and remember who you are.

In that simple, powerful act, you reconnect with what matters most:
🌱 Your body that feels.
💫 Your mind that creates.
💖 Your spirit that guides.

Today, I invite you to go outside, find a tree, and allow yourself a moment of deep connection—with the Earth and with yourself.

Have you hugged yourself today? Or a tree?
Tell me in the comments 🌿💬

🌳✨ A veces lo único que necesitas es detenerte…
Abrazar un árbol, respirar profundo y recordar quién eres.

En ese gesto simple y poderoso puedes reconectar con lo más esencial:
🌱 Tu cuerpo que siente.
💫 Tu mente que crea.
💖 Tu espíritu que guía.

Hoy te invito a salir, buscar un árbol y permitirte ese instante de conexión con la Tierra y contigo mismo.

¿Te has abrazado hoy? ¿Y a un árbol?
Cuéntamelo en los comentarios 🌿💬

We visited the Wyland Wyland Art Gallery in Laguna Beach. 🌊🐬🐋🐳
One of the categories we focus on at “PachaMay” is education, and as part of our commitment, we are always exploring and learning from local artists who have taken their art to great heights.
🎨🐳Wyland is an American artist known for his stunning marine murals depicting whales, dolphins, and ocean life. His most iconic project, Whaling Walls, includes over 100 murals around the world, each carrying a powerful message of environmental conservation.
We’re inspired by creators who merge art with purpose. We continue to feed our creativity with experiences that connect us to art and nature.
Note: When I lived in Connecticut, I visited the mural in New London, but I never imagined I’d one day be standing inside this incredible artist’s gallery.
