94. Connect to Culture, Spirit, and Homeland with Grace Nono, Filipino Singer and Scholar of Philippine Shamanism

Seeking a deeper connection to culture, spirit, and homeland?

In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Grace Nono—a celebrated Filipino singer, ethnomusicologist, and scholar of Philippine shamanism. Grace holds advanced degrees in Humanities, Philippine Studies, Religious and Gender Studies, and Ethnomusicology from institutions like Yale University and NYU. She has also served as a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard Divinity School.

Grace shares how reconnecting to the land and indigenous Filipino cultural and spiritual practices has grounded her:

• Land Connection: Returning to her birthplace in Mindanao to reconnect with the earth.

• Spiritual Connection: Learning from living Babaylan about ancestral and land-based spirituality.

• Cultural Connection: Exploring music, arts, and traditional healing practices.

Grace also offers two transformative opportunities:

1. Online Webinar Series: Learn from master indigenous practitioners in martial arts, music, and healing.

2. In-Person Immersion in the Philippines: Yuta: Co-Creating with Mother Earth is a 10-day program that includes cultural immersion, healing practices, and community building with Filipino and global participants.

Thank you, Grace, for inspiring others to reconnect with their roots and heritage!
