Gratitude

First, to the land. Sweet, elder. I offer my deepest gratitude and reverence to you, acknowledging the ways you transmit, hold, and nourish. Thank you to my homeland, the Northen Andes, specifically Muysca and Embera lands. I hold deep love and committment to a path that continues to bring me closer, respectfully, to you and the traditions of the Muysca and Embera relatives here who defend and protect this land.
And to my second current home, Boston, I offer up a prayer to the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Ponkapoak, Nipmuck, and Black Liberator ancestors and living stewards of this land. May your relationships to your ancestral land be fully returned, respected, protected, and may you be offered tangible forms of healing & repair for the violence your lineages have experienced due to colonization.
To my teachers and the teachings that support me through and through. The Dharma, The Moondance teachings of the Mexica tradition, and the teachings of plant medicine native to my land. And my teachers, Darla Martin, Lama Rod Owens, Bell Hooks, Abuela Ana Tlahuicoatl, Abuela Luz Chalchiciwatzin, & Abuelo Iron Eagle. And, of course, Alexis Goggans, and Christian Harley from the Institute for Coaching Excellence, who have kept me accountable to my dreams and aspirations.
And lastly, to my Sangha, the Black Lotus Collective (sweet teachers, family, and friends), and my day ones! You all know who you are. Thank you for holding me accountable, for pouring onto me, and for your commitment to liberation.

I LOVE YOU.
