El Diseño – The City Decides Against Us
As many of you may be aware, 2 ½ years ago, the ceiling of first floor of our art gallery & gathering place collapsed, leaving our El Diseño in shambles.

Redefine EDGE!
For some people the idea of going to a foreign country, stumbling through a foreign language and customs is the last place to discover who you are. But sometimes, stepping away from life, as you know it, is the best way to come face to face with a new side of you. Edge Project isn’t […]

Never Losing Sight of the Edge
By: Lisa Keinert Having been brought to the Edge and peered over, I never want to come back to the safe, the comfortable; conformity, the monotonous patterned life, controlled by routine. Because the view off the Edge is incredible. It’s dynamic, always changing, inspiring, invigorating. It is breathing in to the depths of one’s diaphragm, […]
You Win Some And You Learn Some
