This month, people everywhere recognized World Health Day and International Earth Day.  Since ReCreative opened, we have strived to fuel innovation and collaboration in the arts and environmentalism. When we created a physical space in the heart of the Santa Fe Arts District, we’ve worked hard to hold to our goal of functioning as a catalyst for social and intellectual enrichment.  But much of the success we’ve seen has not come solely from our efforts — a major amount of the progress we’ve made comes directly from the community that surrounds us.  While collecting creative mate ..read more

Every year, World Health Day is celebrated on April 7th, bringing attention to specific health concerns that impact people across the planet.

Practicing self-care can come in many forms. You may have visions of bath-bombed tubs, face masks, exercise, or a well-deserved nap. But there’s ano ..read more
