In this meditation and kinship circle, we are invited into a space of presence in the body and reflection on original forms of expression within our bodies and ancestral lands. We will hold space for teachings around our lived experience with language. Bennette will also share teachings around written forms of ancestral cosmology including Baybayin and how they are interwoven with the spirit of our oral traditions

bennette baguisa is a scarborough-born, manila-raised and now scarborough-based emerging guided meditation and movement facilitator. one of her most favourite ways to disrupt the conventional ways we inhabit spaces of learning and being in community is to invite everyone to take three deep, slow, deliberate breaths to get out of our minds and into the consciousness of our bodies and spirits. a firm believer in the insurgent power of language and the sonic field as a productive space of encounter, bennette is excited to share in her own journey of reconnecting with Tagalog as a language of healing and exploration and as a way to begin imagining a return to our deepest and truest selves. in this photo, bennette has her eyes closed, as she is known to do, listening for the song of the rice fields in her family’s ancestral home in nueva ecija, philippines.
