I am a Settler / Immigrant of Filipinx descent living in gratitude in Tkaronto on Turtle Island on the Sovereign Dish with One Spoon Wampum, Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg and the Haudenosaunee nations and gathering place to many Indigenous First Nations including the Métis and Inuit. I honour all the Sovereign Indigenous People all over the world for their strength, resilience, and vision. I send my deepest gratitude to our elders and Ancestors for their love and for planting the seeds that we now harvest so that we may nurture present and future generations. I give thanks and send my deepest respects for the mentorship that I received from Monica Bodirsky (www.monicabodirsky.com). Senior Master JB Ramos (Combat Science Warrior Arts of Asia), and Kumu Pa’a Nui Lawrence Aki with Kumu Pa’a Kyrian van Vliet (www.manaomolokai.com) for their wisdom, generosity, inspiration, and profound influence on my spiritual and daily practices. The seeds they planted continue to grow in my garden. And, last but not least, I have been blessed with family, friends, and a community who have been loving, inspiring, and supportive. Thank you to everyone for adding to my abundant, and wonderfully diverse garden.
