There’s undeniable elemental intelligence in our cells.
Together we are are the field.
I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Woi Wurrung & Boon Wurrung language groups of the Eastern Kulin Nation - the traditional custodians of the land, Naam, where I live, dance, make and play. As a New Zealander, I acknowledge the Māori people, the tangata whenua - the indigenous people of Aotearoa. Entwined in Country, I acknowledge the eternal reciprocal relationship between soil & cell, air & breath, waterways & fluid. I pay my respects to elders past, present & emerging.
