Dawani: Weaving & Storytelling Overview (3 Month Play Program of Filipinx Spirit Worlds)

This program is for Filipinx folks (especially of Tagalog, Bisayan, and/or Bikol ancestry) who are interested in spirit world knowledge based on my experiences with and understanding of directional spirits, Tagalog/Bikol/Bisayan creation stories, the cycles of life and death, and the guidance of my own teachers, ancestors, and spirits. Storytelling and artmaking are interwoven into each session, as you discover your own connection with spirit worlds.
