With deep respect, I acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the Traditional Custodians of the land where I live, work, and create. I honour their enduring connection to Country, story, and spirit, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. This deep knowing reminds us that we are not separate from the land, but part of it - interconnected with the rhythms of nature, the wisdom of the earth, and one another.

May this awareness guide our healing, renewal, and sense of belonging.
