At ISER, we support migrants in their emotional, spiritual, and inner healing processes.
We know that migrating isn't just about changing countries: it's also about letting go, rebuilding, facing invisible grief, and finding new ways to live.
We create safe, culturally sensitive spaces for those who need to reconnect with themselves and their history, in their own language, based on their experience.
We are an organization created by and for Latinos.
We heal with dignity, from empathy and respect.
At ISER, we support migrants in healing grief and migration trauma through integrative practices such as yoga, meditation, and family constellations.
We are committed to strengthening emotional resilience, community connection, and a more balanced life rooted in dignity and hope.
We envision a future where ISER is an international benchmark in emotional healing for migrants, leading a profound change in how communities understand and address migratory grief.
We want to be a pioneering organization where thousands of migrants find a safe space to reconnect with their inner strength, heal with dignity, and rebuild their lives with hope.
We prioritize emotional and spiritual healing as the foundation of individual and collective well-being.
We honor the unique value of every person, regardless of their history, status, or country of origin.
We believe that healing is a process that occurs in relationship: with others, with the spiritual, and with oneself.
We foster emotional resilience and help people build more fulfilling and balanced lives.
We work with honesty, ethical commitment, and transparency in every process.
