Last November 18, MAGIS Creative Spaces Co-Founder and Clinical Director Dr. Gina Alfonso, was invited to present at the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Conference (NCPC) at the Asian Institute of Management, Makati City.

Through sharing about experiences and lessons from the work of , MAGIS, and , Dr. Gina posed points for reflection: how can the practice of the arts and the awareness and reverence for indigenous culture, form our response to the need for care for individual and collective wellbeing?

The talk was also a primer on how the expressive arts practice in the Philippines is being shaped through these questions. It is a growing field that is aligned with psychosocial support, healthcare, education, social work, culture preservation, and more. In particular, it is shaping community-based care fuelled by shared culture in our nation that is steeped in creative expression, storytelling, and a practice of reverence.

When we first met with NU-MOA to discuss a possible session with their students, the objective was simple but meaningful: to give students the space to experience wellbeing through the arts. We’re grateful for the trust of the Guidance Counseling team for this collaboration to mark NU-MOA’s Mental Health Month 🧡

In a hectic season of deadlines, tests, and commitments, speaker-facilitator Isa Garcia took the students through an exploration of Creative Calm: finding out how the expressive arts can help with self-regulation. 🌱

For a duyan (hammock), where it’s tied and where it’s placed is crucial in feeling supported. To discover more of what your duyan and pillars are, we invite you to do this little activity:

🌳 Draw two trees, and in the middle of it, draw yourself in a duyan.

🌳 What cradles and supports you? Write this down in the duyan part of your drawing. It could be something that gives you rest like gardening, hiking, journaling, napping, to name a few.

🌳 Who lets your rest? Write these on the leaves of the trees. This can be teammates who fill in for you when you need to recover, or a family member who cares for you when you get sick or need downtime.

🌳 And on the ground, write down your core beliefs that will always be there for you should you fall. This could be your principles, your faith, or even affirmations that help you remember your strength.

On hard days, we might need a map to find our way back to our inherent resources.

Expressive arts therapist Carmen Richardson categorizes three types of resources:

💛 Inside resources - what traits do I have that make me feel alive, happy, peaceful, comforted, content, or proud?

📙 Outside resources - which places, people, activities, hobbies, music, stories, etc help me nurture more positive/healthy feelings or perspectives?

🙌 Body resources - what movements can my body do that encourage a sense of control over my thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and actions?

Write down or take photos of your resources to help you remember them when you need a boost of courage or energy.

When the team of Design Week Philippines shared their vision for this year's theme, we realized one thing: that the systems we live in are shifting towards ginhawa, towards wellbeing. What used to be, just under a decade ago, a topic discussed modestly in group contexts, now has a consistently growing platform on a collective scale. We see the shift reflected in our conversations with organizations and communities too - conversations that are searching for solutions to wicked problems, and discovering that the answer just might be in cultivating wellbeing. They are looking for the design of human services and experiences for groups and communities, that go beyond the service model designed for individuals.

We're grateful to join DTI - Design Center of the Philippines in opening Design Week Philippines 2025. Our Founder and Clinical Director, Gina Alfonso, will be moderating the panel discussion with Lucky Lopez, Misha Quimpo, and Carl Cervantes. They will explore how the role of design can bridge ginhawa - wellbeing and care - and our sense of growth and productivity as a society. See you there! 🌸

Since 2013, we’ve met and worked with communities from different sectors with their needs and the expressive arts at the center. The work is for us a continuous learning experience. We learn from people aged 3 – 80+; from groups in schools, workplaces, healthcare centers, shelters, care homes, government offices; from passionate communities working for human rights, vulnerable groups, the lives and livelihoods of indigenous peoples; from families, and couples, and friends doing life together.

This Mental Health Awareness month, we invite you to a conversation that puts you and your community at the center. We’d love to learn about your story, and to share about how the integration of the arts and health for wellbeing can support the foundation for your communities.

This offering of shared reflection is what has grown from the challenging past week of stretching to process what is happening, while ensuring we can show up for the work we need to do. As we move into the last quarter of the year, we continue to move in solidarity with all that the September 21 protests stood for. We are here with wholehearted efforts to serve for the wellbeing of our country, create and sustain spaces where people feel supported, and work with those who wish to learn to support others through mental health care and the arts.

Wondering about how our mental health was in 2024? We took a look at our Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) score from the Mental State of the World’s annual report, and we are at the ‘Managing’ category as a whole.

Hopefully, through the efforts of bringing mental health services to more people, information campaigns on encouraging the behavior of asking for professional help, and allowing the expressive arts to be used for processing and healing, perhaps our wellbeing as a country will find ourselves: ‘Thriving.’ 🌳
