I open my heart to the land with which I stand and the sky above. Thank you to the Earth, the Cosmos, the Ancestors, and the many guardians both seen, unseen, past, present, and future for guiding & protecting me through this life.

With care and respect I acknowledge the K’ómoks First Nation - the Sathloot, Sasitla, Ieeksun, Xa’xe and Pentlatch tribes - the First People and traditional keepers of this sacred & unceded ‘land of plenty’.

I recognize this gift to live, learn, heal, and practice here. I will strive to do my very best to be a steward of the Earth and a builder of a better future for us all.
