Land Acknowledgement

In the spirit of respect, truth and reconciliation, I acknowledges that I live and work on the traditional territories of the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), comprised of the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut'ina First Nation; and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations. The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. I recognize that Calgary is situated on the land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, traditionally named Mohkínstsis by the Blackfoot people.. I acknowledge that the work of reconciliation with Indigenous Nations has a long road ahead and am committed to doing my part in contributing to meaningful change, education and action.

Precepts + Beliefs

Ceremony, Nature, and our inherent connection to all things is at the centre of my daily life, and as such, are at the heart of my offerings. I aim to embody these practices and beliefs in all that I do, and share them here as both a form of accountability to myself and an invitation to others along the Way. These precepts and beliefs come from my own experiences with Animism, Shamanism, Buddhism, The Tao and Tea.

  • I believe that we are lucky to be here; that the human life is a blessed one, and that we are lucky to have the experience of living it.

  • I believe that pain is an inevitable part of the human experience; that suffering is optional, and that Medicine is possible.

  • I believe that we live in a completely conscious world; that everything, everywhere is consciousness.

  • I believe that we are living in a participatory universe; that our minds create and have the power to influence the world around us.

  • I believe in the potentiality of Nature; that her wisdom is expansive and her medicine is a gift.

  • I believe in The Mystery, the Unseen; that if we open our hearts and our lives to it, that all and everything is possible.

  • I do this work for the benefit of all beings, to be in service to them, and support their liberation from suffering.,
