pop-up events
Some of the most meaningful experiences at Kapwa Wellness arrive unexpectedly — a guest healer who feels like they were always meant to be here, a workshop that answers a question the community didn't know it was asking, a gathering that could only happen now, with these exact people, in this space.
Pop-up events are exactly that. Curated, occasional, and always worth showing up for.
what to expect at Kapwa pop-ups
Every pop-up is different — that's the point. What stays consistent is the quality of the space and the care that goes into who we invite into it.
We are selective. Every practitioner who shares their gifts here is someone we trust — someone whose work is in genuine alignment with the Kapwa philosophy of shared humanity, integrity, and healing. We do not open our doors to just anyone. Which means that when we do, it means something.
Pop-ups might include workshops, healing intensives, movement practices, sound experiences, ceremonial gatherings, or something entirely new. What they share is this: they are designed to give you something real to carry home.
stay in the loop
Pop-up events are announced to our community first — and they fill quickly. The best way to make sure you do not miss one is to check back here regularly.
interested in collaborating?
Are you a healer, teacher, or practitioner whose work aligns with the Kapwa spirit? We are always open to meeting the right people. Pop-up collaborations begin with a conversation. Learn more on our Collaborations page.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Maria Haswell is a mystic, ceremonialist, and the founder of Kapwa Wellness — a healing center rooted in Filipino culture and ancestral wisdom. With 30+ years of practice, she has studied with American healers, trained on the paqo path with Q'ero elders in Peru and a mystic in Bolivia, and reconnected with her babaylan roots through her Filipino lineage.
Maria has led ancestral retreats twice before — both transformative, both completely sold out. Ligaya is her most personal offering yet: a retreat led entirely in her own voice, her own lineage, her own way. She does not position herself as the intermediary between you and your healing. She is here to remind you that you never needed one.
