Kamalayan Crew
a community about exploring cultural identity

The Tagalog word "kamalayan" translates to "consciousness" or "awareness".
Kamalayan Crew gatherings aim to bring together people seeking to explore their cultural identity on their own terms, without the constraints of stereotypes and rigid traditions. They involve activities and discussions that encourage participants to practice gentle self-inquiry and develop their own unique approach to connecting with their cultural heritage.
Gatherings are hosted by Trish, a Filipino-born Australian who grew up feeling like an "outsider" to both Filipino and Australian culture. If you'd like to host or co-host a gathering, please contact Trish here.
Although "Kamalayan" is a Tagalog word, all are welcome to join regardless of whether the theme of a gathering is primarily related to the Philippines.
