Maraming
Salamat Po!
Maraming
salamat sa inyong pagdalo sa nakaraang Buhay BABAYLAN Lecture-Ritual pinamagatang
“Tinig ng Babaylan” noong Enero 19, 2013 sa Bulwagang Tandang Sora,
College of Social Work and Community Development, University of the Philippines,
Diliman, Quezon City.
Nawa’y
sa ating pakikiisa sa araw na iyon ay napalalim at napalawak pa ang ating
kaalaman at pagsasabuhay ng diwang Babaylan at kalinangang Pilipino.
We
hope that you can continue to reflect on the knowledge and stories shared by
our resource person, Grace Nono, and able to embrace more of the
diwang Babaylan through the ritual facilitated by Baylan Undin (with
Robelyn Canto and Grace Nono) in a space blessed
by the presence of elders, teachers, students, musicians, healers, cultural
creatives and each of the 300 or so inquisitive and engaged participants of the
event.
