Rooting regeneration in the places that matter most — land, family, and the communities we build.

From 25 acres of tropical dry forest in the Colombian Andes, I work at the intersection of ecological regeneration, maternal wellbeing, and the cultures of care we pass to future generations.

I'm Ana María Cañas — psychologist, land steward, and visual storyteller — and Arbora Nature Reserve is where this work is lived and embodied.

  • Storytelling

    Through visual storytelling, I bring a creative lens to my work in maternal mental health, drawing on ecopsychology principles to elevate and amplify the diverse experiences of matrescence in a changing world.

  • Consulting

    I work with communities, organizations, and academic institutions to develop, implement, and evaluate project strategies advocating for social transformation, regenerative cultures, and the well-being of children, families, and future generations.

  • Learning Circles

    A space for individuals, groups, and everyone in between interested in exploring the intersection between inner healing and the ecological and climate crisis. In this exploration, we recognize that addressing the emotional and overall well-being of individuals is essential for fostering collective action and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
