Centro Bonilla has continued to support our community members who receive our services through the financial aid program. We also have continued our individual partnerships with the licensed therapists in the Dominican Republic who offer one on one psychotherapy sessions. Centro Bonilla has had multiple group sessions that consisted of expressive arts therapy, yoga, sound therapy and more, that were offered at no cost for our communities. The women in our communities have been open and consented to expressing their gratitude by recording a short video, which we have posted on our social media platforms. One women expressed her gratitude to the Centro Bonilla communtiy because it has allowed her to learn more on how to better care for her mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and how to also hold space and care for her family's overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
We are currently planning a one day holistic retreat for the members of the Centro Bonilla community, which will take place in the mountains near the rivers at a villa. Our goal with the retreat is to create a space where we will continue conversations on mental health and offer group sessions such as yoga, and a sound bath. We are currently in the planning process, and our community is very excited and looking forward to it. We are very grateful for the continuous support from our communities and being a part of making a change in Bonao.
