About This Event
This gathering will be rooted in the power of kwentohans (storytelling) and tapping into memories of hilot healing in our own families. We will cover introductory teachings on what hilot is, its “source” and learn basic massahe (massage) techniques to promote healthy breathing, especially in a time where our breath is incredibly sacred. All bodies and all levels are welcome. There will be some pre-preparations for our gathering and it is encouraged to bring a partner to practice with, as this is a visually oriented and interactive workshop.
“Hinumdumi ang imong gininhawa. Hinumdumi ang imong tambal.” (Remember your breath. Remember YOUR medicine)
