Grounding Into Now An Invitation To Pause

Let us take this moment to gather our energies. Together, we arrive.

Many roads traveled, much wisdom gained and remembered.

Let us use this time to settle into the here and now. Together, we are present. Here. Now.

Acknowledgement and Awareness of Our Accurate Location

We be on tender land

Land that existed long before us

Land stewarded by beloved Indigenous Ancestors and beloved Indigenous Living Ancestors, survivors of genocide and erasure

Their memories and stories run deeper than the concrete roads and buildings resting upon broken soil.

Their stewardship pulses through the earth and rises through our bodies, reminding us that the impacts of colonization are carried in muscle, breath, and experience

By naming this place and its truth, We call ourselves back to responsibility, to reciprocity, to repair
