Acknowledgement

When we gather around the work we do with Plants, we want to respectfully acknowledge and remember that we live on the unceded land of First Nation People’s territory. We are all visitors here on these ancestral homelands and we extend our deepest gratitude for their care and teachings about our Earth Mother. And, as we resurrect our own indigenous soul, we want to also acknowledge the teachings from Plant people, Tree people, Winged ones, Finned ones, four leggeds to many leggeds.

We understand we’re born from Earth and are inter-KIN-nected with all Earthly beings. And it is here that we seek to reconnect with our Indigenous Nature so we may embody compassionate acceptance and courage that is needed to heal the current imbalances that have been done to Mother Earth.

Thus, as we listen with the-Nature-that-surrounds-us, She, teaches us.

As we listen, we come to know Plant language is relational language.

As we relate to Plants and Nature, our misguided trainings decolonize.

As we wildcraft, feel-into and give honor to Earth and Plants, we seamlessly deconstruct and dismantle ideologies of superiority, privilege, extractive mind, human supremacy and human exceptionalism.

And, as we remember the above, we mirror open-hearted loving kindness with Earth, treating Earth rightly as well as with our human sisters and brothers.
