Together our goal is to ignite our creative potentials to restore life, ethical codes, relationships, and potentially our ecosystem, from individuals to small groups with a global vision and awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. As the foundations and roots of artcura, our container is a transcultural, intergenerational and no-sectarian, homed at the two sides of America: North and South, and India, with transmissions in Portuguese and English.

"Visually beautiful, and the sense of inside and out, both of the home but also my own body.
I felt safe but also excited, curious, a bit dangerous/unknown--the heart, the fish!"

“House as a Mirror was an opportunity to experience impermanence and to come
to realize what is happening every moment in a home, as opposed to at a far away retreat center."
