Visayans, islanders of the Philippines: Did you know that the concept of visaya is found in ancient texts of Yoga, Ayurveda, Hinduism, Buddhism and Tantra? I invite us to explore ‘visaya’ in the web of ancient Asian spiritual consciousness. In this decolonial workshop, we will re-search the philosophy of visaya across ancestral oceans of embodied wisdom, with intention to integrate this conceptual practice & conscious awareness for navigating desire & detachment.

Yam-yam means an incantation [n.] or, to repeatedly mumble or quietly mutter words [v.] in Bisayan languages of the Philippine archipelago. Yam is the bij or seed mantra for the anahata or ‘heart’ chakra in Laya Yoga and some Tantric (including Buddhist) traditions. Yam is also connected to Yama/Niyama (moral responsibility) in Yoga. Tracing sources of power, in this heartwork research, we embrace ancient wisdoms & native practices for grounding in the heart.
Sàkra Circle: Sacred Sexuality in Precolonial Visayas // full moon

Go beyond new age concepts of ‘chakras‘ & re-root in ancestral techno-ecologies. When Spanish colonizers first explored premodern Visayas (in what is now known as the “Philippines”), they noted how Bisayan islanders wore sakra, a type of genital jewelry shaped like a ring, or cogwheel with teeth, attached to a pin. Through presented research & embodied meditation, we will situate sakra in Tantra, Hindu & Buddhist concepts of chakra and dharmachakra, contextualizing & decolonizing ancient Visayan sexuality & spirituality across oceans of sacred exchange.
