It is only in Magis that we get to work and play at the same time. This workshop is intended to train educators on how to integrate expressive arts in their classes to make learning fun and engaging. :) - JV

Expressive Arts Workshop with the University of Asia and Pacific

One of the most memorable workshops that I participated in Magis. We were equipped with the necessary skills in facilitating groups. We went to Culion, Palawan after this to conduct a psychosocial support group activity with the Indigenous People (Tagbanwa) after the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013. -JV

Magis is the reason why I took my healing journey seriously; though I think it’s a lifelong journey, I’m in a space right now where I’d like to contribute to others’ journey and flourish in mine. Grateful to be part of Thrive and L’oreal COC. Looking forward to more!🤍 -Crizy

Miah and I drove 3 hours to Batangas to visit our client Visions of Hope. We almost got lost along the way but thankfully we arrived at their center in one piece. Aside from being inspired by the work they do, I felt really grateful to be received by their administrative team who were so enthusiastic and excited to hear about MAGIS and the kind of work we do. We didn't do any kind of support group or any kind of expressive arts activity. We were just ourselves, the admin team, sharing about the work we do to people who are willing to listen. It was real nice to talk about our work with people who understood the challenges that go through the nitty gritty of administrative work. It was real talk, team talk. I'll never forget it.

Witnessing a different type of healing through music, and through the lens. I was given the chance to document this experience with one of magis’ partner organizations in Palawan and chronicle this project. - katrise

I am grateful to have seen how much EXA and Magis and all that came to be touched many people. I am grateful to have witnessed what it means to work in an environment that was meaningful. I am grateful to have met Everyone who I crossed paths with, as there was always a genuine desire to see the good in each other. Working on the maiden event of Magis made me grow so much. I never thought I could be who I am today without all that I learned here. - katrise

What an opportunity this training was for us during earlier MAGIS days. Here, we were with the Cartwheel Team, with Dr. Gabby, Ms. Titay and Marisa.

My story with MAGIS is very personal. I wouldn't have been on this journey had this story not been woven with our mothers who worked together at the Learning Child School when we first started.

The first expressive arts conference with Paolo Knill and Margo Knill made me feel like a wonderland opened up. Doing administrative or back-end work for an event designed to introduce what expressive arts was to Filipinos was nerve-wracking but the presence of the Knills and the entire MAGIS Team during those days felt reassuring that even if I didn't quite know if I was doing the right thing, I was headed the right direction.

This was in Sulu Hotel when we were invited by Ms. Rose Sequitin of University of Southern Philippines to a book launch they had sponsored where social workers compiled their stories about the extrajudicial killings. I was moved by how the social workers felt so much during this time but also felt they needed support for their work. It made me realize how our work is so relevant. We gave Ms. Rose's social work students an Aesthetics of Self Care Workshop a year after.

Kumuha ng sustansiya sa lupang mataba
Hayaang sarili ang humigop ng kusa
Gamitin ito upang maging malakas
Linangin ang talento sa darating na bukas
Ikaw ay suportado at minamahal pa nga
Huwag matakot at subukang kumawala
Darating ang panahon ikaw ay lilipad
Patungo sa ulap na ubod ng taas
Maging inspirasyon sana ang iyong ginagawa
Sa mga kabataang na akala'y sila'y dukha

I played some instrumental ghibli music during one of our sessions and saw Mariel's face light up. We found out we both liked Ghibli films! She sent me a nice documentary of Hayao Miyazaki which I enjoyed on a long weekend. I love Mariel's gentle, grounding, surprising presence <3 Oh and I watched Arcane because of her also. hahaha -TJ

Thank you for bringing us together this morning. As our days get busier and there is less time to meet, this time is special.

Thank you for keeping us safe and healthy to continue our work, and we ask for your healing power and protection for our loved ones who are recovering from any illness, or going through symptoms or side effects of the virus.

Connect our head, heart, and hands to do the work you have set out for us to do. Connect also our sense of productivity to our sense of rest, so that we may be better listeners for your word that you’ve prepared just for us. Bless our conversations today with joy, creativity, and lightness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
