This year, we’re giving back for Christmas, with @teamasiaph. We shared heart and presence with the children and community of Payatas Orione Foundation @payatas_orione. We hope the children we met, moved, and laughed with remember, even a little bit, how powerful it can be to notice and acknowledge what we are feeling. Their self-compassion will lead to empathy, resilience, and inner strength - all to pave the way for them to build #BiggerDreams.

To mark a space safe with expressive arts is a humbling ritual. It could be a group movement. Or music. For this orphanage, it was a colored stone. It's different with everyone we work with, but the message is the same: we're here for you. It's safe for you to express yourself here. It matters that you express yourself, however that looks or feels like. - What's a safe space for you?

ALL ART IS GOOD ART. This message takes on a different energy when we bring it to the workplace: where we are often surrounded by deadlines, performance metrics, quotas. We experience this too, and have been learning about how pausing and taking stock can ba a brave move that doesn't always look immediately like the first and best choice. Today's conversation and expressive arts experiential with LANDBANK highlighted the importance of self-awareness, and the self-care practice that can help cultivate that. To everyone who took time to be with us today, thank you for your presence and art 🧡 —- Tag yourselves if you’re here! Share your stories or thoughts about today, we would love to hear it.

As we wind down from the year, we drill down with planning and dig deep with the important conversations that will set the tone for and take root in 2019. Unlike this slightly blurry photo, the message from this afternoon’s conversation with @diwamentalhealth is clear: mental health isn’t complicated, and our responsibility is to keep it that way, and keep it relevant. What does it mean to take care of your #mentalhealth, as a Filipino or as someone immersed in Philippine culture? We may not need to look too far out for answers. This afternoon's conversation was about broadening the mental health paradigm, rediscovering Sikolohiyang Pilipino, and the natural way the #expressivearts integrates into the practice of kapwa, pakiramdam, and kagandahang-loob. Looking forward to keeping the conversation going, Ronald!

“Returning to yourself is the best self-care.” As we wind down from the year, we drill down with planning and dig deep with the important conversations that will set the tone for and take root in 2019. Salamat @cartwheelfoundation sa kapwa at kape, for the beautiful stories, and always the fellowship in work and life-journeying. 🧡

Thank you to everyone who made it last weekend for our self-care group. The next one is on December 10 and we can’t wait to welcome you back 🧡
