🌿 Hilom Retreats — April 11–19, 2026 

With Dayang Darcie, Lakan Zanny, Apu Adman, and Mamerto Tindongan

✨ What is Hilom?
Hilom is the ancient Filipino way of healing — a living practice passed down through lineages of Hilot Binabaylan. It is prayer, energy, and hands-on healing woven together to restore balance in body, mind, spirit, and community.

✨ What is this retreat?
This is a 9-day immersion and certification retreat for Hilot Binabaylan Levels 1 & 2. Open to anyone who feels called to this sacred path, it is both a training and a deep personal journey.

✨ Why Hilom?
Because now, more than ever, the world needs healers rooted in ancestral wisdom. By learning Hilot, you help break ground, preserve tradition, and perpetuate the healing practices of our ancestors.

✨ How will it benefit you?
* Learn from authentic Filipino elders and trainers in direct lineages
* Receive hands-on healing tools and spiritual practices you can carry forward
* Go through your own transformation as you prepare to serve others
* Become part of the first cohorts of Hilot Binabaylan practitioners in Hawaiʻi

🌿 Why Get a Traditional Filipino Cleansing? 🌿
✨ What is it?
A sacred ritual rooted in Filipino ancestral traditions — using prayers, diagnostic readings, and energy realignment to release heavy energies that no longer serve you.
✨ How is it different?
* Unlike Reiki, it’s not just energy flow — it’s guided by ancestral spirits and cultural protocols.
* Unlike a tarot reading, it doesn’t only give insight — it actively clears and restores.
* Unlike saging, it doesn’t just purify the space — it goes deeper into the body, mind, and spirit to realign what’s been thrown off balance.
✨ How is it beneficial?
* Clears heaviness, fear, and stagnant energy
* Restores clarity, protection, and lightness
* Reconnects you to spiritual alignment and guidance
* Opens the path for renewal and balance
✨ Why Lakan Zannyboy?
As a certified Hilot Binabaylan trainer, Lakan Zanny carries direct lineage and training from Filipino elders. He is one of the only practitioners offering true ancestral Filipino spiritual cleansing in Hawaiʻi. His sessions are sought after because they are not just rituals — they are deeply transformative encounters with cultural, ancestral power.
🌺 Step into clarity, balance, and protection.

✨ What is Hilot?
Hilot is the ancient Filipino art of healing — a sacred practice that blends prayer, intuition, and hands-on alignment. It’s not just touch manipulation — it’s a spiritual, cultural, and energetic reset.
✨ How is it different?
Unlike massage…because it is not a massage. Hilot works on the seen and unseen. It realigns bones, eases tension, clears energetic blockages, and restores harmony between body, spirit, and nature.
✨ How does it benefit you?
* Releases stress and heaviness
* Restores balance and clarity
* Supports natural healing and flow of energy
* Connects you back to your ancestral roots
✨ Why Lakan Zannyboy?
As a certified Hilot Binabaylan trainer and one of the few offering authentic Hilot in Hawaiʻi, Zanny carries direct lineage, training, and initiation from respected Filipino elders. His sessions are highly sought after because they are more than healing — they are an ancestral reconnection.
🌺 Experience why people from across Hawaiʻi and beyond seek him out.

“Your Baggage is Keeping You Stuck and Disconnected”

“Your baggage is keeping you stuck and disconnected. I know because I carried mine for years. I remember standing in my kitchen, staring at a sink full of dishes, feeling like life was just happening to me. I was tired of the same loops, the same overwhelm. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move forward—until I learned how to release the baggage that was weighing me down.”

“That’s what mindset mastery is all about. NLP teaches you how to rewire your unconscious patterns—the patterns that keep you repeating the same struggles. Once you release them, life starts to feel lighter, clearer, more connected. And the best part? It doesn’t take years. Transformation can happen in just days when you have the right tools.”

“I’m inviting you to join me for a
3-Day Mindset Mastery Weekend with NLP Immersion.
📅 Date: September 12-14, 2025
Time: 10:00am-6:00pm
💵 Investment: $199 for an entire weekend

Three days to reset, release your baggage, and reconnect with your true power.”

“One of my clients came in terrified to speak up for herself. By the end of our weekend, she stood taller, spoke with confidence, and weeks later—landed a promotion she never thought possible. She told me, ‘I feel like I finally dropped the weight I was carrying for years.’ That’s what’s waiting for you too.”

Check out our event on Friday, Sep 12, 2025.
