Pag-Aatang
Pagaatang is a ritual circle for healer-practitioners to contribute and participate in an experience of collective care and sensemaking.
Recognising the highly contradictory tension between business/work/money and spirituality/mysticism that healers must constantly negotiate, in addition to sociocultural issues of gender, race, and class (among others), Pagaatang provides a safe space to witness and process experiences of stress/burnout, trauma, guilt, confusion, etc experienced by healer-practitioners in their practice. It is a ritual that petitions “healing for the the healers”.
