LAKAPATI

SCHOOL OF HERBALISM & ANCIENT SOMATICS

LAKAPATI is a queer filipinx founded school of herbalists, somatic spaceholders, and co-liberators. Our mission is to preserve folk healing arts and re-indigenize ancestral practices in the modern age. We are rooted in QTBIPOC community care and joy! We play with plants and planets and they teach us how to (co)regulate with our land(body) to heal the dis-ease within and around us.

A LOVE NOTE TO OUR FUTURE KIN:

I am neither male nor female. I am both. Show me your kapwatid’s gaping mouth,

I will know to feed your hunger.

I want you fed!

But what are you hungry for?

Open wide.

Reveal to me the You who swallows.

and the You who nearly starved? Let them feast too.

Bare your beating chest. Sing from beneath your bones,

and eat for every You that yearns an earth where cis*tems cease

(to be a cage)

So there can be an abundant harvest for All.

loving you to the core of our earth mama,

-grace, ashley, and JVargas 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊
