What if we allow ourselves to be free?

Sometimes the most radical form of kindness is not pushing through, fixing, or figuring things out — but gently laying things down, being present to what stirs within & accepting ourselves fully. No need for explanations - allowing presence.

On March 22, we journey to Mt. Banahaw and the healing waters of Sta. Lucia Falls for a DIWA Nature Retreat for Women.

A quiet abd mystical space to pause, to breathe, to release what has grown heavy, and to remember the beauty that lives within our being.

Kagandahang Loob.
Kindness that begins within.
Radical self compassion.

🌿 Mt. Banahaw – Sta. Lucia Falls
🌿 March 22

If this speaks to you, you are welcome to come and be with us, fellow women.🌷

Starting - Malaman na Musings 😄

Here's an attempt to share insights that came through reflecting on the word Kita in Filipino and sitting with what self love and pakikipagkapwa means. I'm noticing the cringe as I write this talking about - self love & Mahal kita. 😅 Hence this invitation to sit with it and explore.

If you're like me, in our household our love language is not "words of affirmation" but more felt in service and touch. We don't talk about love nor do we verbalize it. There's an awkwardness to it that is felt. Now, you may wonder what led me to name the first DIWA playdate of the year with "Mahal kita." It started with the word "kita-kita" which I have explored in the context of self love, presencing and expressive arts with teachers. A creative nudge led me to add Mahal - which is another exploration for my next "Alam mo ba? DIWA word sensing post. For now, allowing this daloy to flow and reach more spaces.

Happy to share that we're reviving the DIWA playdates & upgrading it like the DIWA cards starting this February. 🌷

For our first one, the theme is inspired by the exploration of the word "Kita-kita" - which in Filipino can mean "I see you" or "Let's see each other." Mahal kita means I love you but kita in itself is interesting because it seems to merge you with the other. It reminds me of the term "Presencing" in Theory U which means being fully present with what is, the opposite of which is Absencing. It's seeing the Other as is and not having any agenda expect to be together. It serves as an invitation to shift from transactional experiences to more relational moments with each other, to connect to our humanness. And it starts with how we also relate to ourselves. Are we only made up of our job titles and what we do? Or can we also explore and make space for parts of us that's been wanting to speak? (hello inner child! I see you). In the "instant" world we live in, it's a gift to be with ourselves and each other without gadgets, playing and having fun. I'd like to invite you to join us on Feb 23 for some creative and mindful play. Tara, laro tayo!
