🇵🇭Our cultural identity shapes some of the most important parts of who we are. It gives us a sense of belonging and a sense of self. On this episode, we are joined by special guest, Lyn Pacificar founder of Herbalaria, an ancestral roots movement company connecting the community to indigenous traditions through the art of Filipino plant medicine. Listen as she drops some serious knowledge on the shamanic traditions that have been demonized by colonialism, what it means to reclaim your culture, and how she integrates the power of Cannabis into her practice as a spiritual healer. So roll one, smoke one, and get your culture on as we take you back to our roots.

👁ABOUT OUR GUEST

Lyn Pacificar is an “albularya” (Herb Doctor) a descendant from a long line of Filipino healers and spiritualists from her dad's side of the family. An albularya (or arbolaryo) is a traditional folk herbalist and spiritual healer who uses a combination of modalities including prayers, ritual, diagnostic readings, smudging, ancestral communication, and mediumship to achieve a certain goal for the recipient. Growing up, Lyn was exposed to all of this from her father as he was referred to as a “manghihilot,” a traditional healer using different methods of prayer, massage, special oils, and energy work. At a young age, she was introduced to the different types of oils and balms from her father that he brought back with him from the Philippines. These bottles were prepared in ritual, with each ingredient carefully added and she felt such a strong connection to the medicine, which is very much a part of her own healing practice today and the foundation for Herbalaria.
