This vessel had birth 6 children all at home: water birth , lotus birth, undisturbed birth. Through rituals , ceremony, and tradition. I am excited to offer a special one of a kind gathering centered on Filipino Ancestral birth practices and rituals , stories, culture, ceremonies. I will be sharing my personal stories with 6 of my Homebirths and also excited to have a few Pinay facilitators sharing their stories and work around birth, prenatal, & post-partum. We are bridging modern and Ancestral, joy & grief, storytelling and community.
When: Sunday, Nov. 2nd : 12-6pm
IThis event is on Araw ng mag Patay and we will honor our ancestors through this work and we will also have a community altar.

3. Lingling-o (generic blanket term & name varies in different traditions ) is a Filipino / Austronesian symbol of life , fertility, protection, balance, divine feminine & masculine. This symbol is found all over the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Oldest surviving LingLing-o were made of nephrite jade from 500 BC . Northern tribes in the Philippines like the Ifugao, Bontoc, Kankaneay, and Kalinga had preserved this symbol and continued to be part of their traditions. I created this graphic to share the connection with the biology of a uterus. “Womb of the Earth”

9. Another pic of the Lingling-o with the bottom pure gold version found in Eastern Visayas 10th to 13th century.
10. This graphic by @iamhaizehawke of the Ankh inspired the Lingling-o version. For the longest time , I used to wear so many ankh necklaces and jewelry and was so drawn to it as well as Ancient Kemetic mystcisms and traditions that also brought me back to my Filipino healing arts traditions. Love seeing the two connections.

Join me this Sunday at @filamfiesta_vc at the @museumofventuracounty hosted by @pinaysphere_org . I’ll be doing a skill share on mini Walis ( broom) using locally foraged and cleaned pine needles . This is a simple and short intro workshop on the art of broom making. We will have time to adorn and customize our brooms to make them unique with recycled beads and charms. We will also be popping up with our @nativesol creations and we will have a few handmade brooms in different sizes if you@just want to purchase.
•
Look out for an upcoming broom making class in Long Beach and pine needle basket weaving.(DM me if interested) and will add you to our list).

So proud of these two. Mahalaya wrote this song a few days ago and Isa and her had been practicing harmonizing their instruments with it at school. And last night they performed it at the 4th Fridays open mic. So nice to see their confidence and courage to even just come up on stage. So inspiring. Can’t wait to see what they do next with their bands.
•
The entire energy of the open mic last night was 🔥 and everyone who came up shared with their hearts.
