Elders, Teachers, & Guides

I acknowledge my teachers in this waking life

A true teacher does not ask you to follow their light, they guide you to find your own. I have been blessed to study with many beautiful elders who weave the way, walk the heart walk, and share it with others. I offer my wholehearted gratitude to my ancestors & my teachers:
