Santuario Sisterfarm

The Santuario Sisterfarm is a nonprofit organization founded in 2002 by Latina women and Dominican Sisters. They are located in the Hill Country of south-central Texas and rooted in the rich multicultural legacy of the Borderlands. The Sisterfarm has pledged to inspire the work of transforming our relationships with Earth and ourselves from dominace to co-creative. The Sisterfarm has started a movement-an eco-ethno-spiritual quest- with the Latinas that helped to create their organization. They are striving to create a multilingual, multiracial, and multicultural space where mujeres can look into the spirit of the connection we have to the land, traditions, struggles for justice, and women's intuition.
The movement has not extended to a national level because there is not national "hub" to connect all of the local movements together in a national way. While there are movements going on around the world because there is not this central system, this "hub", there cannot be a interconnected movement that involves everyone in their respected movements. Our view is that if there was a central "hub" that the movements that are trying to be achieved would be more heard of and also more wide spread. However, we need to be able to accomplish this centralism to be able to achieve this connection.
