Influenced by a "guidance" dream, we discuss Venus Herbito's story of returning back to the homeland after 25 years. In this chapter, she shares her immigration story, sorrowfully leaving her Lola in Manila to settling in Los Angeles, CA. Venus shares perspective on what it means to be separated from her indigenous consciousness, soul wounding, and her studies of indigenous science as a pathway to healing. In addition, we discuss her video-installation-ritual, "Katibuk-an: Journey Toward Wholeness".
