✨ Event Overview

Join us for the 5th Annual Community Gathering – Energy of Life, a vibrant, heart-centered celebration of healing, culture, and community transformation.

This gathering began in response to the loss and erasure of Carlota Espinoza’s mural at Escuela Tlatelolco, and has since evolved into an annual offering of remembrance, resilience, and reconnection.

In 2025, we celebrate this milestone year with interactive arts experiences and a community fundraiser — rooted in joy, storytelling, and cross-cultural connection.
