Protecting Mother Earth as a pathway to human healing.

We are actively raising donor funds to build the infrastructure of the Creative Healing Arts Center in Tres Piedras, New Mexico.

The Center’s land spans 433 acres and adjoins the Carson National Forest on three sides, connecting it to more than 250,000 acres of protected public land.

CENTER CAPITAL RAISE NOW OPEN FOR DONATIONS

Disconnection from the natural world increasingly impacts human health and community well-being, reminding us of the need for environments that restore connection to self and nature.

The Creative Healing Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists to steward land as a shared resource for education, creative expression, and community practices that nurture lasting relationships between people and the natural world for the benefit of present and future generations.

Healing is not an isolated act, it ripples outward.

When individuals are given the space to reconnect with themselves, the land, and one another, they carry that restoration back into their families, communities, and the places they touch. By tending to personal well-being in relationship with the natural world, we contribute to a more balanced and cared-for collective.

We believe that healing one person contributes to healing the earth.

Changing the world through reciprocity

Change begins with reciprocity, giving back to what sustains us.

We believe that when we care for Mother Earth, we begin to care for ourselves more deeply, remembering our place within the whole living system. Through this relationship, self-care becomes self-respect, self-love grows from personal responsibility, and individual actions ripple into collective change.

“To choose love and to be more conscious of how to nurture ourselves, each other and mother nature is the greatest gift. It is the greatest reward and it is above all the greatest path to healing.”

— David Elliott, CEO & Founder
