Ate Lizae is a beautiful soul, a mirror of the ways my own inner spirit dances with ancestors. I had the honour of working alongside her through the Centre for Babaylan Studies, where she has been an elder and mentor. Together, we served as ritualists and ceremonialists, moving in attunement with Spirit, the rhythms of the Diwata, and the living wisdom of nature.
Her guidance is rooted in deep listening to the unseen, to the ancestors, and to the Earth. Ate Lizae holds ceremony with such reverence and grace that one cannot help but feel more connected to purpose, community, and the sacred. I carry immense gratitude for the ways she has witnessed me, supported my unfolding path, and reminded me of the power of ancestral presence in our everyday lives.
