Thank you, colleagues!

See you at the 20th Summit!

Nourishing and celebrating our whole being

Elena Aranda


Dear participants, speakers, moderators, volunteers and members of the AMISTAD team,

I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making our women's conference a resounding success.


The theme of the Summit, “Collective Healing,” resonated in every workshop where we shared what each of us needs as women through traditional, ancestral, and holistic healings.


The stories shared, the knowledge imparted, and the positive energy that permeated every corner of the event were truly inspiring.


This event has not only been a platform for the exchange of wisdom and learning, but also a reminder to continue investing in, nurturing, and celebrating our whole being!



Solidarity among Women

Marinela Maneiro-Goodwin

For 18 years, we have gathered to celebrate Latina women at the Summit. This year, the theme, collective healing, opened a much-needed, profoundly meaningful, and powerful space. In this context, healing referred not only to physical health but also to emotional, spiritual, and community healing. We know that Latina women face a variety of challenges and adversities, both individual and systemic, and the Summit provided a safe space to address and process these experiences.


Activities and discussions were held to foster collective healing. These included self-care workshops, mindfulness practices, artistic expression, and group therapies that helped participants reconnect with their inner strength, heal past wounds, and empower one another. Furthermore, collective healing was enriched by the sharing of stories and solidarity among women who shared similar experiences.


The collective healing at the women's summit was an essential space for empowering women on a personal level and for catalyzing social change toward greater equality and justice for all. We look forward to seeing you next year.

Thank you to our 19th Speakers!

Who we are

We are women working to promote and strengthen a culture of solidarity that involves accompaniment, respect, equality, and mutual support among women.


We meet to talk, inspire ideas, learn, and commit to specific actions. We also share, self-evaluate, question, and support each other.


When one person shares their life experiences, talents, and perspectives, others become involved, make commitments, and together discover new ways to grow as a community. This creates a safe space where people can live together and flourish.


This is the Compañeras movement. šŸ’–
