About this listen

🌿✨ SEASON 2, EPISODE 3 IS HERE! ✨🌿

This week on Diwa Soul Sessions, we continue the powerful conversation in Part 2 of Demystifying Babaylan with Babaylan Batara Gat Baya, a traditional spiritual leader from Mindanao, Philippines 🇵🇭.

🔮 What’s in this episode?
We explore Batara’s rites of passage, from the trials and initiations that shaped his spiritual path to the deep rituals and traditions he upholds as a Diwataan – someone who fully embodies the pre-colonial animist ways of the Philippines. 🌊🔥

Who is a Diwataan?
A person who dedicates their life to spirit, nature, and ancestral wisdom, living in alignment with the unseen world. 🌿✨ Batara shares how this path has shaped his daily life, ceremonies, and responsibilities as a Babaylan.
