As We Heal-"Hilot to Our Higher Selves"
INTENTION
Healers of Color Movement invites you to gather in community for our quarterly virtual meetups, to dialogue and skill share; As We Heal is a recurring space for self-identified healers of color to support and hold space for each other through our journey as practitioners.
"Hilot To Our Higher Selves"
Babaylan, Hilot & Reiki Practitioner, Daphnee Valdez (she/her/siya) will be sharing her family’s lineage of hilot (the Filipinx indigenous healing massage) through story while teaching you how to awaken your own hilot hands. Through the guidance of ancestors and spirit, our hilot hands can be the gateways to our internal and collective stories. So, in addition to hilot, she will be providing open support for those called to ancestral guidance through channeling loving messages from guides and/or pulling oracle cards. Let us tap into the power within us/around us and join the spiritual love, laughter, and joy of our human, ego, and higher selves!
COMMUNITY
This community event is also perfect for practitioners looking to learn more from the community and increase their capacity through an exchange of knowledge as a form of peer mentorship. It is a space for those seeking guidance and a safe space to explore and process their craft. From traditional to Western practitioners, those that blend modalities and approaches, all are welcome to come and uplift each other!
We acknowledge that not everyone is an active practitioner in “business” or exchange, but may be struggling with managing the gifts that are either expressed or beginning their expression in your day-to-day movement.
Being loved, supported, and having a sense of belonging on a land that to most, is not your ancestral lands is a critical piece to understand in your walk as a healer. This virtual meet up is intended to allow for this awareness and consciousness to come to light so you can walk in a safe and confident presence of power.
PROGRAM
This virtual dialogue will happen on ZOOM. Log in details will be emailed to you after your ticket payment + registration is confirmed. Your contribution will be supporting this community as it grows by building in opportunities to support other practitioners ready to hold space for our As We Heal meetups.
We will begin sharply at 5:55pm PST/ 8:55pm EST with our Welcoming & Opening Prayer. Please log in at least 5 mins early to prepare for the special grounding HOCM prayer followed by a brief introduction and overview of the event.

MEET YOUR HEALING PRACTITIONER
Daphne Valdez
I am honored and grateful for this healing legacy and for the opportunities to guide others towards connecting their higher self, human being & ego, and on an ongoing journey of spiritual activism, focused on reclamation and remembering. My first spiritual teacher is my mother who taught me the roots and practice of hilot. and as a babaylan, I connect with spirit and ancestral guides. I received my level 1 & 2 reiki training with Marie Kyoko Morohoshi. And am currently studying with cosme castanieto. as a first-generation queer pinay, I’m passionate about working with pinays, lgbtqia+ bipoc & transitional age youth.
