What is Baybayin?

Baybayin is the ancient script used by Filipinos for centuries before Spanish colonization. Learning this beautiful and expressive script is more than just memorizing characters - it's a journey of cultural rediscovery.

In this workshop (90 mins), you will:

• Gain an understanding of the history and significance of Baybayin.
• Learn the fundamentals of writing baybayin characters, including consonants, vowels, and markings (modern baybayin 17+)
• Practice writing syllables and words.
• Take home a reusable dry erase practice mat

This workshop is for you if:

• You want a soft and cozy space to ground, reflect, and surround yourself with a loving community
• You're interested in learning about pre-colonial Philippine history and culture.
• You want to connect with your Filipino roots in a meaningful way.
• You're looking to express your creativity through a new medium
• No prior experience is necessary. This workshop is designed for beginners and is open to all!
