The Babaylan Pavilion features Filipino indigenous arts, practices and beliefs, as a way of fostering reconnection with one's cultural roots and promoting cultural identity.
Healers of different indigenous traditions will conduct education and healing sessions for the public. Chat time with cultural practitioners and other informational resources will also be available to address any inquiries. Filipino-Americans as well as other cultural minorities, will have a chance to learn about ancestral links that may animate the inner search for identification, belonging and interconnectedness.
