In Santa Barbara, something extraordinary is happening—not in government halls or grand speeches, but in living rooms, and shaded corners where people finally feel safe enough to speak their truths.
These are not just reflections. These are rebirths.
This is ICW Kamustahan—a space where the heart learns to breathe again.
Jean: When Pain Becomes Purpose
Before ICW, Jean’s life was wrapped in toxicity—grief, betrayal, and loneliness. Her mother’s death due to medical neglect, and a broken marriage tested her faith and endurance. But through the ICW Kamustahan group, she found more than comfort—she found clarity.
“This is the group where I truly belong,” she said.
God rerouted her path. From silent suffering, she now speaks with strength. From being silenced by injustice, she is now preparing for a legal battle with fierce grace. Her pain no longer defines her—it refines her.
Archie: From Vices to Vision
Once lost in vices, Archie now walks in light. Guided by Sir Nic’s ICW teachings on the soul, spirit, and body, he began to understand himself not just as a man, but as a temple—fragile, sacred, and redeemable. His transformation didn’t happen overnight, but with every Kamustahan, he unlearned shame and relearned grace.
“In God, nothing is impossible. Pray always,” he said.
SEA’s IPAT-SIAD isn’t just about systems—it’s about soul work.
Joshel: From Noise to Stillness
For Joshel, curiosity led to transformation. She started ICW unsure, hesitant, even skeptical. But slowly, she began to filter out what no longer served her: arguments, gossip, distractions during meals. What began as small behavior shifts grew into deep personal insight. ICW helped her reconnect—not just with others, but with her better self.
Even if her siblings only followed her lead for three days, that seed of change was planted. That’s how healing spreads—quietly, persistently.
Batchoy: From Trauma to Testimony
As a child, Batchoy experienced abuse. As a man, he carried the label of a womanizer—a mask he wore to hide the shame. But ICW broke through his layers. It gave him space to cry, to confront, to confess, and most of all, to begin again.
Today, he coaches football to children without asking for anything in return. He lives with illness, but not in defeat. “The Lord will provide—but you still need to help yourself,” he says.
This is the ripple effect of ICW: one healed heart mentoring others.
Vincent: Keeping the Flame Alive
For Vincent, Kamustahan is the matchstick that keeps the ICW fire from fading. When life gets loud, this space reminds him to quiet down and turn inward. Before ICW, he kept his pain private. Now, he shares it with trust.
Support is no longer a theory—it’s a community.
Avie Joy: From Rage to Redemption
Avie Joy used to speak with a sharp tongue, hurting others without meaning to. But ICW taught her the power of silence, the gift of listening. She asked forgiveness—from others, from God, from herself.
When her husband died in a hit-and-run accident, anger nearly consumed her. But in her darkest hour, a whisper reminded her she still had her children. Her story is not one of revenge—but of radical forgiveness.
ICW gave her a microphone—and she used it to speak peace.
Amelda: Called and Connected
Once carefree, Amelda now walks with divine intention. As a minister and a mother, she believes that God doesn’t just exist—He invites connection. The people she met through ICW have become more than co-attendees; they are now part of her daily prayers.
“We are all part of one body in Jesus Christ,” she says, “but each of us has a different function.”
IPAT-SIAD echoes the same principle: diverse gifts, united for transformation.
Analy: From Isolation to Interconnection
Analy once believed strength meant carrying burdens alone. But after falling—literally, into a canal during an accident—she saw that even in accidents, grace shows up. Through ICW, she learned that support is not weakness; it’s sacred.
Now, she shares. And in sharing, she heals.
Julroy: From Delay to Divine Timing
Julroy once fought hard to make things happen, only to watch them fall apart. Schedules canceled. Plans crumbled. Doubt crept in. But through ICW and prayer, he learned that not all delays are denials.
When he let go, new doors opened—doors he never saw before. His leadership journey, once shadowed by anxiety and self-doubt, is now rooted in wisdom and widened perspective.
“When your purpose is for the good of all, even the universe starts to align,” he said.
That’s not just philosophy. That’s IPAT-SIAD in motion.
The Inner Conditioning Workshop is more than a series of sessions—it’s a sacred unlearning of shame, and a powerful remembering of self-worth. Under SEA Inc.’s IPAT-SIAD framework, Santa Barbara’s brave souls are learning to see obstacles as invitations, pain as preparation, and each other as fellow builders of a kinder world.
Every tear shed in these Kamustahan circles is a seed of future harvest.
Every story shared is a thread in the growing tapestry of collective healing.
And here, in the heart of Santa Barbara, the revolution continues—quietly, but courageously.
