Welcome Message

Welcome to the National Compadres Network (NCN). We work with individuals, organizations and communities around the country based on our philosophy of La Cultura Cura (LCC) or transformational health and healing. LCC philosophy continues the teachings of our ancestors who reinforced the importance of sacred values, traditions and interconnected relationships as the foundation of cultural strength. Please visit this website often to see the amazing work being done by our staff and local and national partners. We look forward to serving as a resource to support and share the work you do. Bendiciones.

NCN Monthly CĂ­rculos

NCN hosts four monthly circles that operates in the context of ceremony. They are a safe space for guiding people from awareness to movement; promoting the four LCC values, confianza (trust), respeto (respect), dignidad (dignity), cariño (love). Each participant has an opportunity to openly share pain, suffering and blessings, which in turn helps them re-connect with themselves, families, and communities, and heal unresolved trauma through positive health, healing, and development.
