Filipino-rooted offerings that help you hold the dark, without forgetting your light.

Dimmed No More

Silaw Sessions are workshops, talks, and healing spaces that center the mental health and lived experiences of diasporic Filipino/a/x communities.

Named after the Ilokano word silaw (meaning light or illumination), these sessions offer space to reflect, reconnect, and reclaim what’s been dimmed by silence, pressure, and survival.

Through culture-rooted and community-grounded dialogue, Silaw Sessions help us remember who we are and practice what heals.
