The Center for Babaylan Studies is committed to uplifting the wisdoms of Indigenous living traditions of the Philippines toward the pursuit of Indigenous sovereignty, individual and community healing, justice, and liberation.

Through study, practice, education, political activism, and community organizing, we explore the ways in which ancestral reclamation, healing, and political discourse through the lenses of decolonization and anti-oppression can support building a world centered in justice, love, life-affirming cultures, and right relations with the Earth and all living beings.
