EVENT HIGHLIGHTS ๐ Tula, Tulala sa Tabi ng Lawa
The Little Women Society and Kapusod celebrated National Heroes' Day and Buwan ng Wika together with local writers and artists last Aug 31.
The program began with Sir Howie Severino 's walking tour where participants gained a deeper appreciation of nature and Kapusod 's intentional eco-architecture.
This was followed by a hearty lunch featuring local Batangueรฑo dishes (Pako Salad, Fried Tawilis) including a favorite of the National Hero, Jose Rizal (Tinolang Manok) in Kapusod's unique style.
In the afternoon, everyone moved closer to Taal lake and meditated, facilitated by Ish Navarro - Speaker, Writer & Artist. During this Tulala session, they learned to call back their diwa and ground with nature through body scanning, mindfulness exercises, and positive affirmations.
Following this, Pauline Navarro, Author, Creative Writing Resource Speaker taught participants how to internalize and express the inspiration they get from nature. With this, they were able to tap into their senses and write poems with the beautiful Taal lake and the deepening afternoon as their backdrop.
To perfectly complete the program, participants shared their poems and writing process with each other. Through intimate but meaningful sharing circles, everyone was able to connect with each one's experiences and also reconnect with themselves.
On top of the program, the event also featured local artists and merchants. Creatives were able to sell their zines and postcards, and promote their books and upcoming events.
Thank you to everyone who attended! ๐ค
