Land Acknowledgement and Pledge to Whole Systems Healing

Sacred Sprout Wellness operates on an Agricultural Land Reserve located on the traditional territory of the WSANEC and Lkwungen peoples. This space is colonially referred to as Victoria BC, Vancouver Island.

The Pacific North West Wilderness is home and where we grow and sustainably forage a wide array of flora and funga- all fed through the fresh filter of crisp ocean air. Sacred Sprout Wellness works in collaboration with the land in stewardship of its ecosystems, watersheds, native plant species and naturally abundant herbal medicines.

• I acknowledge that as an uninvited guest on WSANEC and Lkwungen land that modern herbalism has evolved using stolen knowledge from Indigenous and African peoples; leaving traditional wisdoms, plant teachings and ways of living in symbiosis with the land- unattributed.
  
  I am here to embrace the practice of deeply listening, centring BIPOC voices and actively working to dismantle the ongoing systems of oppression that deny injustice and further make invisible the deep-seated prejudice and racism they are built upon. Sacred Sprout is committed to healing the wounds of cultural misuse and exploitation. Sacred Sprout stands behind Indigenous Reciprocity and supports the fight for land back.

• I acknowledge and pay gratitude to the wisdom keepers, cultivators, cleaners, activists, maestros, curanderas, land defenders , advocates, birth workers, death doulas- and ultimately all those who serve the spirits of Turtle Island. May we weave together the natural ways with each of our own unique perspectives to create a more open, neuro diverse, inclusive, non-binary, safe and healthy future for each living vessel of the collective- animate and worthy.

“Plants are also integral to reweaving the connection between land and people.

A place becomes a home when it sustains you, when it feeds you in body as well as spirit.

To recreate a home, the plants must also return.”
