There are intentional communities called "Base Christian Ecclesial Communities" based around the liberationist church in El Salvador. On my first weekend, I visited one called San Luis Mariona. In Mariona, my host mom, Otilia, runs a therapeutic meditation and massage therapy center to help heal her post-war community. This picture is the meditation room, where people sit around images of martyrs who give them spiritual strength.
This is a tapestry on the wall in the meditation room.
In the meditation house, there is also a shop that sells the products of several local cooperatives; the products in this picture were made as a form of art therapy by a cooperative of ex-convicts.
This is my host sister, Karen. I want to keep her.
