The third international Babaylan conference is coming up in September… Well, that is a ways away yet but as of right now we are searching for volunteers for the event and the lead up to it.
What:
The Center for Babaylan Studies (CfBS) focuses on Filipino Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSP) with specific focus on Babaylan discourse and Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology). The mission of CFBS is to connect with resources and to facilitate the relevance, cultivation and promotion of Filipino indigenous wisdom in an age of globalization through:
Exploring and developing Pakikipagkapwa (deep interconnectivity), Kagandahang Loob (Wholeness of Being), Pakikiramdam (Deep Empathy)
Organizing conferences, workshops, retreats, concerts and events that bring about deep appreciation for Filipino Indigenous Spirituality
Creating and maintaining an online archive of spiritual, social, cultural, historical and other materials relevant to our vision (babaylanfiles.blogspot.com)
Fostering learning groups and collaborating with other organizations who share our vision
