Engaging Ancestral-Based Ritual on Stolen Land
About the Webinar:
One of the questions we grapple with as settlers on stolen native lands is how we engage ritual cross-culturally, with protocol, with our Ancestors behind us and future generations before us.  The Center for Babaylan Studies offers a webinar led by Sobey Wing to explore the following themes:
    	
  • The Loss of Indigenous Ritual Practices both in the Philippine homeland and in the diasporas
    • 	
  • Pre-colonial Rituals of Transition 
    • 	
  • The Regeneration of indigenous Practices amongst:	
      		
    • Indigenous Peoples
      • 		
    • Lowlanders
      • 		
    • Diasporic communities
      • 	
    	
    • 	
  • The relevance and possibilities of initiatory rites that form solidarity economics, relationships (kinship-based, nature, cosmos related), and legacies.
