FREE EVENT: Hosted by KUBO Organizing Project, KUBO Long Beach, and Anne Esperanzate

Join us for a wellness-themed merkado (marketplace) featuring cultural healing practitioners offering free or donation-based services. This creates an opportunity for the community to connect with local practitioners and explore a range of healing modalities rooted in Indigenous Filipinx and AAPI traditions.

The event will also include a curated program featuring a meditation and sound bath, as well as a panel discussion highlighting cultural practitioners who will share their craft and the ancestral, personal, and community-rooted stories that inform their work.

Throughout the merkado, additional practitioners and artists will share their offerings including dance and movement, a pop-up portrait gallery, a lotion-making station, and healing arts such as reiki, tarot, and hilot, as well as aura photography and visual art.

To further support collective care, there will be free resources including primary, reproductive, PT/OT services, and dental.
