The practitioner's stance
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, sky and community. We acknowledge past harms and that the land was never ceded. In the spirit of reconciliation, we live in hope for the incredible possibilities open to us all if we listen to the wisdom that we might be privileged to encounter. We pay our respect to elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
