Deonys is an experimental concept of pirate royalty combined with vampire witch. His calling is of digital alchemy, working with computer software, websites and traditional methods to create multi-media art. He focuses on mixing Filipino folklore and mythology with medieval imagery. He also loves to create poignant political commentary and symbolism in his work. Currently, he’s relearning how to express himself as a speaker, organizer and alchemist that weaves storytelling with spirituality to create meaning out of the mess, transforming old perceptions into new perspectives. A sorcerer of sorts; he creates everything you hate.

Exploring a Personal & Experimentative Relationship with Filipino Indigenous Psychospirituality
Inspired by the work of Dr. Carl Cervantes, author of Sikodiwa: Revisiting Filipino Indigenous Wisdom for Personal and Shared Well-Being, this event focuses on exploring a spiritual understanding of the Filipino diasporic experience on where and how cultural aspects of psychology and spirituality remain intact within. Through the lens of personal experience and cultural relativism, this workshop aims to have participants explore their relationship with concepts like utang ng loob (“debt of gratitude”) and how these ideas may apply to life here, and how they may be alike to local Indigenous beliefs and practices, highlighting solidarity between seas. This event includes a presentation going into concepts from Sikodiwa, supplemented by personal experiences and independent research by the host and others who are free to add their stories, as well as introspective activities and discussion to partake in.
