Speaker Panels

4 panels, each with a moderator and 3 to 5 speakers were presented on June 3 and 4, 2005. Each panel theme is about real life experiences of archetypal leadership, icons of the babaylan---Warrior, Teacher, Healer and Visionary. Each power role is tied in to one of the Elements of Water, Fire, Earth and Wind.

Briefly----Warrior takes a stand for not only survival but also for change for the better, for fairness, justice and for balance and harmony in the community. Teacher harvests knowledge and heritage, processes nurtures and develops knowledge and heritage and then plants seeds for future generations to harvest. Healer removes dis-ease and disease, brings about health and wholeness in the physical and emotional well-being of the community... And Visionary intuits and perceives truth and understanding and shares this with family and/or community, from which action is taken to move forward for development, success, harmony and peace.
