Casa sin Fronteras has continued visiting schools to bring children the Music Therapy and Dance-Movement Therapy workshops at their classroom. The relaxation of COVID-19 protocols has allowed us to resume this work so satisfying for us, where we can see the positive impact of the workshops on the response, and enthusiasm of children. If you would like to bring this workshop to your school, please contact us. We also offer workshops for teachers and parents at school on different topics.
On Saturday, December 3rd, we welcomed the holiday season with a Family Day that was very joyful, and eventful. With the assistance of families with children of different ages, we had workshops on the creation of Christmas decorations, a theatrical workshop for children with stories, crafts, and games, the participation of the Clown Chicle Clown and a Bomba music workshop, with which we closed dancing and celebrating. It was very beautiful to see fathers, mothers and children sharing and enjoying together. Thanks to all the resources that accompanied us and to the families who participated this day. We ended 2022 with the last Women's Meeting in December with varied personal development and relaxation activities of for all attendees.
Taking advantage of the virtual modality, we resume this year the Estima Workshops for women in February 2023. The use of the Zoom platform allows us to reach more distant people, enriching the experience. Take the opportunity to strengthen your self-esteem and develop your skills from the comfort of your home The workshops especially designed for women will be virtual every Wednesday at 7pm.
We had the opportunity to present our organization, and promote our projects in the Municipality of Vega Baja, which has opened its doors to us. We are grateful for the support!
We also want to express our gratitude to you for the financial support you give us to move forward. Follow us on social networks so that you know our calendar of activities, and can participate.
Casa sin Fronteras continues to offer mental health services to the community, both face-to-face and virtually. Counseling and psychological services are offered weekly by appointment to men, women, children and youth.
We started the Women's Meeting, one in July and one in October. We took a day to share with an excellent group of women of different ages, experiences of self-knowledge, relaxation and integration, through body movement, art and music. Creative Therapies help us enter the unconscious and allow us to be happier and more focused. We will notify the date of the next Women's Meeting in our social media.
To reach those people who cannot physically reach our Center, we held a virtual cycle of Estima Workshops for women. There were three workshops between the months of August and September to gain more self-knowledge, improve communication and manage stress and anxiety effectively.
Knowing the needs of mothers and caregivers, we have a series of virtual workshops focused on helping them manage their particular situations, using Dance Movement Therapy strategies. There are eight one hour meetings, weekly, in which we share tools and self-care strategies.
We are bringing the Dance Movement Therapy, and Music Therapy workshops to schools. At Garrochales' school, Arecibo, Adriana Lizardi, our music therapist shared with two groups of eighth-grade students. At Vega Baja elementary school, Hecbel Rodríguez used different Dance Movement Therapy activities with students in two fifth-grade groups. Both were enriching experiences. Our Professional Counselor, Lariana Garcia held a self-care workshop for teachers at a school in Arecibo. If you would like to bring our services to your school, whether for students or for teachers, and staff, please contact us to coordinate the event.
This semester we return with a cycle of Music Therapy Workshops for children from 6 to 9 years old. Our Music Therapist Adriana Lizardi, uses music and instruments to work different techniques that help children improve their behavior, have more concentration and express their emotions and feelings. Registration is still open.
Follow us on social networks so that you know of our projects, and you can participate. We thank everyone who contributes financially so that we can continue to serve the community.

Casa sin Fronteras continúa ofreciendo sus servicios de salud mental a la comunidad, tanto de forma presencial, como virtual. Los servicios sicológicos y de consejería se ofrecen todas las semanas por cita previa a hombres, mujeres, niños y jóvenes.
Dimos comienzo a los Encuentros de Mujeres, tuvimos uno en julio y otro en octubre. Sacamos un día para compartir con un excelente grupo de mujeres de diferentes edades, experiencias de autoconocimiento, relajación y de integración, a través del movimiento corporal, el arte y la música. Las Terapias Creativas nos ayudan a entrar en el inconsciente y nos permiten estar más felices y centradas. A través de nuestras redes sociales avisaremos cuándo será el próximo Encuentro de Mujeres.
Para tener la oportunidad de alcanzar a aquellas personas que no pueden llegar físicamente a nuestro Centro, realizamos un ciclo de Talleres Estima para mujeres de forma virtual. Fueron tres talleres entre los meses de agosto y septiembre para tener más autoconocimiento, mejorar la comunicación y manejar el estrés y la ansiedad de forma efectiva.
Conociendo las necesidades de las madres y encargadas de los niños, estamos ofreciendo una serie de talleres virtuales enfocados ayudarlas a manejar sus situaciones particulares, desde la Danza Movimiento Terapia. Son ocho encuentros, uno por semana, en los que, por una hora compartimos herramientas y estrategias de autocuidado.
Llevamos los talleres de Danza Movimiento Terapia y Musicoterapia a las escuelas. En la escuela de Garrochales, Arecibo, Adriana Lizardi, nuestra Musicoterapeuta compartió con dos grupos de jovencitos de octavo grado. En la escuela elemental de Vega Baja, Hecbel Rodríguez les llevó diferentes actividades de Danza Movimiento Terapia a los estudiantes de dos grupos de quinto grado. Ambas experiencias son enriquecedoras para los estudiantes. Nuestra Consejera Profesional, Lariana García ofreció un taller de autocuidado para los maestros de una escuela en Arecibo. Si deseas llevar nuestros servicios a tu escuela, ya sea para estudiantes o para maestros y personal, comunícate con nosotros para coordinar el evento.

Durante estos meses en nuestro país se han relajado las restricciones sobre el COVID-19. Esto nos ha permitido realizar algunas actividades de forma presencial, manteniendo las medidas de prevención y seguridad pertinentes. A la misma vez, hemos mantenido otras actividades de forma virtual. Esto nos ha permitido llegar a personas de lugares más distantes. Comenzamos este semestre con una mezcla de actividades tanto virtuales como presenciales. En marzo celebramos la tradicional Jornada de las Terapias Artístico-Creativas, abriendo nuestras puertas en la primera actividad grande de forma presencial y fue todo un éxito. Recibimos un nutrido grupo de personas, tanto adultos como niños, que disfrutaron los talleres de música, arte y danza. El 30 de marzo dimos comienzo al primer ciclo de talleres de musicoterapia para niños que se estuvo reuniendo semanalmente hasta mayo. Fue una experiencia musicalmente enriquecedora para este grupo de niños y niñas. En abril tuvimos el honor de ser los anfitriones del Primer Simposio Internacional de las Terapias Artístico-Creativas. Más de 85 personas de diferentes países se conectaron virtualmente para aprender y compartir experiencias y proyectos de las diferentes modalidades de las Terapias Artístico-Creativas. Para continuar alcanzando a más personas de forma virtual ofrecimos el taller: “Soy más productivo cuando escucho música”. Aplicando herramientas de la musicoterapia podemos mejorar nuestra calidad de vida. Durante todo este tiempo seguimos ofreciendo nuestros servicios sicológicos de forma presencial y nuestros servicios de consejería profesional tanto de forma presencial como virtual. También ofrecemos talleres de crecimiento personal a aquellas organizaciones, escuelas o grupos que nos lo solicitan. Igualmente, pueden ser virtual o presencial. Cerraremos este semestre con el Primer Encuentro de Mujeres el 9 de julio. Nos encontraremos para celebrar la vida juntas a través de talleres de Danza Movimiento Terapia, Arte Terapia, Musico Terapia y reflexiones de crecimiento personal. Te invitamos a participar. Visita nuestras redes sociales para que conozcas los detalles.
The virtual and the face-to-face
Our country has relaxed restrictions on COVID-19 during these months. This has allowed us to carry out some activities in person, keeping relevant prevention and safety measures. At the same time, we have kept other virtual activities. We have reached people from more distant places this way. We started this semester with a mix of both virtual and face-to-face activities. In March we celebrated the traditional Day of Artistic-Creative Therapies, opening our doors in the first large in person activity and it was a success. We received a large group of people, both adults and children, who enjoyed the music, art, and dance workshops. On March 30 we began the first cycle of music therapy workshops for children that was meeting weekly until May. It was a musically enriching experience for this group of boys and girls. In April we had the honor of hosting the First International Symposium on Artistic-Creative Therapies. More than 85 people from different countries connected virtually to learn and share experiences and projects of the different modalities of Artistic-Creative Therapies. To continue reaching more people virtually we offered the workshop: "I am more productive when I listen to music". By applying music therapy tools, we can improve our quality of life. During all this time we have continue to offer our psychological services in person and our professional counseling services both in person and virtually. We also offer personal growth workshops to those organizations, schools or groups that request it. Likewise, they can be virtual or face-to-face. We will close this semester with the First Women's Meeting on July 9. We will meet to celebrate life together through workshops of Dance Movement Therapy, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and reflections for personal growth. You are invited to participate. Visit our social media networks to know more details.
We started a new year full of enthusiasm and energy. Our psychological and counseling services had begun attending people in person, as the COVID-19 pandemic has waned. The safety measures of masks, hands cleaning, and physical distance are still a high priority in our offices, but it is wonderful to be able to have this face-to-face contact. Our counselors have noticed an increase in the demand for the services, and we are grateful to be able to serve our people.
In February we had a cycle of workshops for women called “Esteem”. Around 40 women got together on the Zoom platform each Thursday night of February to talk and work on the subjects of, self-knowledge, emotional intelligence, communication, stress and anxiety management, and healing of emotional wounds. It was a special and very profound experience to get to know each of these women and share with them tools for their personal growth.
March is a very important month for us as we celebrate with the world the Creative Arts Therapies. In Casa sin Fronteras we are pioneers in the Creative Arts Therapies in Puerto Rico. This is our 5th year celebrating these forms of therapy that uses distinct arts-based methods and creative processes for the purpose of ameliorating disability and illness and optimizing health and wellness. Our program CODAMO, that integrates Counseling and Dance Movement Therapy, is organizing a day full of activities of music, art, and dance movement for the whole family on Saturday March 19. Professional therapists will be guiding the activities with the public. We will be working in small groups and following the Covid-19 protocols.
In a professional area, we are organizing and promoting the International Symposium of Creative Arts Therapies on April 9. It will be a virtual event with professionals in Art Therapy, Dance Movement Therapy, Music Therapy, and other innovative artistic therapies. Mexico, Venezuela, Spain, Chile, and Puerto Rico will be represented in the Symposium and these therapists will share their experiences and the wonderful work they are doing. For more information, check our social media pages.
We keep visiting schools and bringing the creative arts therapies to the classroom. In February we shared a Music Therapy workshop with high school students, and it was a beautiful experience. We are always available to share our resources with the schools that reach out to us.
As always, thank you for your support that makes all this possible!
Año nuevo, nuevas energías
Comenzamos un nuevo año lleno de entusiasmo y energía. Nuestros servicios psicológicos y de consejería habían comenzado a atender en persona, ya que la pandemia de COVID-19 ha disminuido. Las medidas de seguridad de mascarillas, limpieza de manos y distancia física siguen siendo una alta prioridad en nuestras oficinas, pero es maravilloso poder tener este contacto cara a cara. Nuestros consejeros han notado un aumento en la demanda de los servicios, y estamos agradecidos de poder servir a nuestra gente.
En febrero tuvimos un ciclo de talleres para mujeres llamado "Estima". Alrededor de 40 mujeres se reunieron en la plataforma Zoom cada jueves de febrero por la noche para hablar y trabajar en los temas de autoconocimiento, inteligencia emocional, comunicación, manejo del estrés y la ansiedad, y curación de heridas emocionales. Fue una experiencia especial y muy profunda conocer a cada una de estas mujeres y compartir con ellas herramientas para su crecimiento personal.
Marzo es un mes muy importante para nosotros, ya que celebramos con el mundo las Terapias Artístico-Creativas. En Casa sin Fronteras somos pioneros en las Terapias Artístico-Creativas en Puerto Rico. Este es nuestro 5º año celebrando estas formas de terapia que utilizan distintos métodos basados en las artes y procesos creativos con el fin de mejorar la discapacidad y la enfermedad y optimizar la salud y el bienestar. Nuestro programa CODAMO, que integra Consejería y Danza Movimiento Terapia, está organizando una jornada llena de actividades de música, arte y danza movimiento para toda la familia el sábado 19 de marzo. Los terapeutas profesionales guiarán las actividades con el público. Trabajaremos en grupos reducidos y siguiendo los protocolos del Covid-19.
En el aspecto profesional, estamos organizando y promoviendo el Simposio Internacional de Terapias Artístico-Creativas el 9 de abril. Será un evento virtual con profesionales en Arteterapia, Danza Movimiento Terapia, Musicoterapia, y otras terapias artísticas innovadoras. México, Venezuela, España, Chile y Puerto Rico estarán representados en el Simposio y estos terapeutas compartirán sus experiencias y el maravilloso trabajo que están haciendo. Para obtener más información, consulte nuestras páginas de redes sociales.
Seguimos visitando escuelas y llevando las terapias de artes creativas a la sala de clases. En febrero compartimos un taller de Musicoterapia con estudiantes de escuela secundaria y fue una experiencia hermosa. Siempre estamos disponibles para compartir nuestros recursos con las escuelas que nos lo solicitan.
Como siempre, ¡gracias por su apoyo que hace que todo esto sea posible!

Adapting to new life situations brought by the COVID-19 pandemic has not been easy. At Casa sin Fronteras we have continued our service to the community by offering alternatives and a space of peace. Through our Counseling and Dance/Movement Therapy (CODAMO) program and our Better Life program of psychological services and counseling, we have been able to impact the lives of many families in a positive way by providing tools to manage the difficult situations of daily life. During this semester we have been active offering workshops, both virtually and face-to-face. Our workshops are aimed mostly at families with children and we use tools of Counseling, Dance/Movement Therapy, Music Therapy and Art Therapy to help children and adults improve relationships and achieve an optimal level of well-being.
This year we have had two very important new opportunities for our program, as we were invited in August to present CODAMO at the 2nd Puerto Rico Chapter Dance/Movement Therapy Symposium of the American Dance Therapy Association and then in November we were invited to present it at the Convention of Professional Counselors of the Puerto Rican Association of Professional Counseling. Both our counselor, the Lcda. Lariana García, and our Dance/Movement Therapist Hecbel Rodríguez, have filled us with pride by representing Casa sin Fronteras before these prestigious professional organizations, publicizing this innovative and transformative project. Their love for what they do and their commitment to the mental health of our people makes them stand out in their respective fields and shows that partnerships work.
As part of "CODAMO in your school" we have been able to visit different elementary schools carrying out workshops on different themes of personal development for students using the techniques of Artistic-Creative Therapies (movement, music and art). In this semester we have visited schools in the towns of Arecibo and Camuy.
In October we started a new cycle of virtual CODAMO with a group of children and another with a group of mothers. We are very happy with this group of friends that has given themselves the opportunity to discover new strategies to improve their lives.
In conjunction with CODAMO's work, Casa sin Fronteras continues to offer psychological services and individual counseling through the Mejor Vida program. We are already working in person and those people who need it attended virtually.
To celebrate our achievements and thank all the people who with their donations make our work possible, we presented a Facebook Live concert "Casa sin Fronteras canta para ti, Bohemia con Reynaldo Torres Quiles". It was a musical gift for all our friends at Casa sin Fronteras. If you couldn't see it, look it up on our page and enjoy it.
