Panubli Hilot Journey - The Filipino Ancestral Healing Medicine with Florence Cayboen-Yilmaz with Medicine Festival

*Please be aware that Florence will be working in a shared space.

Panubli, (A legacy or inheritance) in the Hiligaynon language of the Philippines, speaks of what is inherited. It is the quiet transmission of wisdom through the body, through culture, through the unseen threads of our ancestors that continue to shape how we heal, feel, and remember.  

Hilot is one of these inheritances, an ancient Filipino healing art, carried through the hands of our grandmothers across generations, long before it was ever named or written. Though history has, at times, pushed it into the shadows, merged into religion, practiced in silence, it has never left us. It continues to live in homes, in the provinces, in the bodies of those who choose to remember.  

At its essence, Hilot is a listening, an intuitive dialogue between the manghihilot (practitioner), the divine, and the body. A deep attunement to spirit, to breath, to the intelligence of the land.  

Through touch, the guidance of medicinal plants, and the use of Lana (an intention-infused oil made from coconut and sacred herbs, traditionally prepared during sacred seasons in the Philippines) Hilot gently invites the body back into balance. To soften what has hardened and to restore life force where it has been fragmented.  

Panubli Hilot is a returning—of the body to its natural intelligence, held in the nurturing presence of the grandmother’s touch.  

For the Healing Village this year, a full Panubli Hilot Journey is offered, unfolding through:  

  • Hilot Suob  starting with a sacred herbal steam to clear, detoxify, and open both the physical and energetic body.  
  • Hilot Bodywork - using medicinal leaves wrapped in Lana oil to scan through specific parts of the body, followed by an intuitive, grounded touch that releases stored tension in these areas.
  • Then closing with Hilot Banyos - a ritual herbal bath or banyos (wiping off) the energetical imbalances to soothe the nervous system and inviting a deep rest for the mind, spirit and the body.  

You are warmly invited to come as you are, and allow your body to be held, listened to, and gently guided back home.

The offering is accredited by ThinkTree Hub
