Acknowledgement of land, lineage, and privilege

I live and work on the ancestral land of the first peoples of Seattle, the Duwamish People. I honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish tribe, its members past, present, and emerging. I am committed to a personal, embodied practice of decolonization and as part of this practice, I pay rent to the Duwamish Tribe.

I honor and acknowledge the lineages of contemplative practice and yogic philosophy and practice that have contributed to my own learning, practice, and facilitation.

My lived experience is one with many facets of privilege. My intention is to facilitate from a place that both acknowledges the privileges I embody and actively works to dismantle the many systems of oppression from which I benefit. I acknowledge that my intent will not always align with my impact and in the spirit of accountability, I welcome feedback from those whose lived experiences might differ from mine.
