Global ImpactCfBS Programs and Events

“Decolonization transforms the consciousness of the colonized through the reclamation of the Filipino cultu

self and makes space for the recovery and healing of traumatic memory, and healing leading to different formof activism. It is an open-ended process. It is a new way of seeing. As a way of healing, it is also a promise anda hope.”

- Leny Mendoza Strobe

Notable Programs and Events Organized

We envision that our events and projects will bring together:

1. Key resource persons from the Philippines on Filipino Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices;2. Babaylan/culture-bearers in the US whose life work is informed by the babaylan tradition;

3. Babaylan-inspired scholars who address the sub-themes in the stated vision;4. Babaylan-inspired teachers, healers, warriors, priestesses, and visionaries whose life work is

centered around indigenizing the Filipino self;5. Persons who recognize decolonization as a spiritual path;6. Folks who consciously seek creative integration of non-indigenous elements into Filipino spirituality;

7. Persons whose expressions resonate with being indigenous or indio-genius.

The 3rd International Babaylan Conference 2016Makasaysayang Pagtatagpo (Historic Encounters)

Filipinos and Indigenous Turtle Islanders Revitalizing Ancestral Traditions Together

2016 Third International Babaylan Conferenceco-created by Kathara Pilipino Indigenous Arts Collective Societyand the Center for Babaylan Studies

Date: September 23-25, 2016Venue: YMCA Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine CoastUnceded Coast Salish Territories

Our Vision:

This is the Third International Babaylan Conference. In the first conference in 2010 we focused on theme of KAPWA (Shared Being) as one of the core concepts in Filipino Indigenous KnowledgeSystems and Practices (IKSP). At the second conference in 2013, we wanted to deepen our groundin IKSP; thus, we focused on the power of myths, indigenous storytelling, and oral history as part our process of decolonization and re-learning of a sense of indigeneity as Filipinos in the diaspora

In this third conference/gathering we follow the thread of re-indigenization by looking at our histof colonial migration within the larger context of settler colonialism and what our presence asSettlers on Native Lands means for building just relationships with our native relatives. Likewise, inrecognition of the centuries of encounters and interrelationships between Filipinos and Nativepeoples in North America (US and Canada), our desire is to make these interconnections visible. Ovision is to be able to find common ground and mutually-edifying partnerships as we struggle todecolonize and recover a greater intactness in our relationship with the Land and ancestral traditiwithin our respective communities and histories. We share the hope of being able to learn what itmeans to live justly with all our relations and our goal is to be able to bring indigenous knowledgepractices from the Philippine homeland as part of that vision.

What We Want to Deliver:

CfBS, in partnership with Kathara Society, is organizing a conference near Vancouver where we focus on the conferencetheme of building bridges and interconnections with the original peoples of Turtle Island. We explore this theme throughworkshops, creative performances, ritual and ceremony, and educational opportunities where we can learn and connect withone another. Artists and cultural stakeholders will lead participants through different mediums of learning to reflect and sharestories, ideas, and experiences that honour our indigenous roots, histories and legacies.

Our Goals:

• to continue to build and strengthen our Filipino communities in the diaspora through the sharing of Indigenous KnowledgeSystems and Practices (IKSP);• to listen and dialogue with Filipinos who are of mixed ancestry (Filipino and Native) and bring their stories to the community(that is largely immigrant);• to share contemporary practices of culture sharing between indigenizing (settler) Filipinos and Filipinos with Aboriginal/Tur -tle Islanders/Native heritage;• to dialogue on what it means to be an immigrant/settler on Native lands;• to develop a collective understanding of colonization and its parallels in the Philippine homeland as well as Turtle Island.• to locate our conversations at this conference/gathering within the ongoing challenge of the globalization of cultures andeconomies, the destruction of the ecosystem, and the very real danger of climate change, and• to plant seeds of hope and beauty as we return to our local communities (both human and more-than-human) and re-learnthe wisdom and ways of our ancestors.
