✨ A New Chapter Begins ✨

The Hilom Collective is moving to a new home! We’re transitioning from Circle to Skool, a more connected, intuitive space for healing and community. This isn’t just a platform shift, it’s a deepening of our commitment to tend the Filipino inner child with ancestral care.

To welcome you in, we’re hosting a special workshop:
Pagbabalik-Loob: 5 Steps to Begin Your Filipino Inner Child Healing Journey.

To balik loob is to return inward—to the self you silenced to survive. This workshop is a gentle invitation to begin that return, rooted in culture and community.

You’ll receive an intro to our 12-Step Guide to Filipino Inner Child Healing, reflective prompts, somatic practices, and space for storytelling with kapwa, you are never alone here.

The Hilom Collective is a sacred circle where we remember who we are through the old ways: storytelling, shared grief, ancestral love, and fierce, collective care.

Join us on Skool.
Come home to your buong loob.
You are not broken. You are returning.

✨ You were never meant to be small. You were meant to be held. ✨

If you’re Filipino and healing the Western way didn’t quite fit—this is why.

We were taught utang na loob as guilt, pakikisama as silence, hiya as shame. But these words
weren’t always meant to hurt. They were sacred. Until they were twisted.

We inherited silence not because we were weak—but because our families were surviving. And
now, many of us carry wounds we were never given the language for.

This is why Filipino inner child healing must be different. It must be decolonized.

Because we’re not just healing trauma—we’re remembering truth.
Come. Sit with us.

At The Hilom Collective - a circle for Filipinos unlearning emotional silence and reclaiming their right to softness, expression, and kapwa.

✨ Healing begins with remembering.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

We’ll return to the roots of our values—not to erase them, but to reclaim their beauty.

If you learned to leave before you were ever allowed to arrive, this is for you.

Dissociation isn’t weakness. It’s the brilliance of a nervous system doing what it had to do.

When you couldn’t fight or flee, you floated.
You disappeared—not because you didn’t care, but because it was the only way to stay.

At Hilom Collective, we hold space for your return.
For the inner child who vanished to survive.

Through storytelling, ancestral wisdom, and Sikolohiyang Filipino, we gently call you back home to yourself.

✨ Healing begins with remembering.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Sometimes what we call “self-sabotage” is really just an inner child trying to speak.

Not ruin. Not rebellion.
Just memory.
Just longing.

Longing to be held in the way we never were.
To be safe enough to feel.
To soften without shame.

If your heart has been aching for a place to unlearn emotional silence—
if you’ve been carrying the weight of being the strong one, the quiet one, the one who holds it all together...

Come. Sit with us.

At The Hilom Collective - a circle for Filipinos unlearning emotional silence and reclaiming their right to softness, expression, and kapwa.

✨ Healing begins with remembering.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

You weren’t “mabait.” You were just afraid to say no.

Many of us were.

We thought love meant silence.
That being a good Filipino meant self-sacrifice. That kapwa only applied when we were giving to others.

But real kapwa includes you, too.
Your voice. Your needs. Your inner child who was never taught boundaries—only compliance.

Come gather with The Hilom Collective—a sacred circle where Filipinos across the globe return to the inner child, to break ancient patterns through the old ways: storytelling with kapwa, remembering the ancestors, and tending one another with fierce, collective care.

We’re healing together. Not by rejecting our roots, but by remembering their deeper wisdom.

Therapy can begin the journey but in the Filipino soul, healing lives in kapwa, in the sacred space between us. Western psychology often centers the self in isolation.

But what if true transformation isn’t just individual, but communal? In this carousel, we return to Loob (inner self) and Kapwa (shared self), ancient Filipino concepts that hold us in collective care.

We invite you to imagine healing not as something you do alone, but something we do together—rooted in ancestry, story, and love. Swipe through to remember what healing can look like in community.

Western psychology often teaches us to protect ourselves through boundaries and self-care. But Filipino psychology offers a powerful alternative: pakikipagkapwa, the belief that your healing and mine are inseparable. Rooted in shared identity and mutual humanity, kapwa tells us that true community is not just support—it’s sacred entanglement.

This is a love language born of colonized survival and ancestral wisdom: we hold each other to wholeness.

Have you felt the healing power of kapwa in your life? Tag someone who’s part of your inner circle—your chosen family—and honor how they’ve shaped your becoming.

Kapwa Psychology - A Live Event with Dr. Nette & Dr. Patricia Perez

Join us for a sacred gathering of remembrance and reconnection.

In this live workshop, Dr. Nette and Dr. Patricia Perez will guide us through the heart of Kapwa Psychology, a soul-rooted framework of healing that emerges from our ancestral consciousness. Together, we’ll reflect on how kapwa, or shared being, offers a way to decolonize our minds, reclaim our inner knowing, and restore harmony within ourselves and our communities.

This is more than a lecture, it is a remembering. A return to the wisdom already alive in our bodies, in our bloodlines. Whether you’re deep in your healing journey or just beginning to ask new questions, come as you are.

Let us gather. Let us listen. Let us reawaken what has never been lost.

There is an old story, older than empire, older than fear—a story that says: you are not broken. You are becoming.

Like the mangrove that roots in both salt and sweetness, your healing is not linear—it is tidal, ancestral, and wild. Let the waters come.

Come gather with The Hilom Collective, a sacred circle where Filipinos across the globe return to the inner child, to break ancient patterns through the old ways: storytelling with kapwa, remembering the ancestors, and tending one another with fierce, collective care.
