Full blog post on the site, link in bio 👉🏽 Deep reverential gratitude is a practice too many of us are forgetting. Canadians (and soon, Americans) - use this upcoming day of giving thanks to uplift yourself, your loved ones, your community, Indigenous folk, and the earth, remembering that we are all intrinsically connected. Some ideas: 🌰Eat what’s in season:
Shop from farmer’s markets to get all the delicious locally grown, in-season produce for your meal 🍁Decorate mindfully:
Thanksgiving decor is probably the easiest when it comes to sourcing things from the great outdoors. Skip the plastic dollar store items and go outside - leaves, acorns, chestnuts, pumpkins, gourds! 🫴🏽Give intentionally:
Since we’re well aware of the historical roots of this holiday, extend your gratitude by donating to an impactful organization that supports Indigenous communities - our last post has a great list of orgs we love (@clanmothers.ca @waterfirstngo) 🌽Also, consider stocking a community fridge in your city (@cf___to in Toronto) to ensure those living in food deserts have access to plentiful, healthy food this weekend.

Some ways in which you can support Indigenous comm

Some ways in which you can support Indigenous communities in Canada today (the 2nd annual Truth and Reconciliation Day) 🍁 These great organizations are doing phenomenal work in First Nations communities, in case you’re looking for impactful places to support and send donations to. If you can’t give financially, definitely follow the organizations to lend some support, to learn more about their movements and to hear their voices and stories🗣 As always, make sure you’re listening, learning and keeping your mind and heart open to new information, even if (especially if) it brings up triggers or biases that might feel uncomfortable 🧡🧡🧡 Indigenous folk are the true wisdom keepers and protectors of the land. Deeply supporting them is the only way to shift what’s playing out in our environment right now 🌿 ✨Remember: radical reciprocity is key If you know of any other impactful organizations, please share and tag in the comments below!👇🏽 #forageandsustain

Your community is communicating with you constantl

Your community is communicating with you constantly - telling you what they like, don’t like, need help with, want to know more of. So many of us have forgotten how to really pay attention, and how to engage in active listening👂🏼 Listen deeply to what your community is asking for, and pair that with what feels good for you - chances are, they’ll be pretty aligned! ✨ Create from that space, and dedicate yourself to coming from a place of deep and loving service💗 PS: September’s Dreamscape newsletter (for dreamers and conscious businesses) goes out this weekend.

Full write up on this iconic hotel to come! I love that @fairmontempress is slowly making changes to be as sustainable as possible. From their fully wooden room keys to their on-site beehives, this gorgeous castle in Victoria, BC sources mostly all local ingredients from local farms, fishers, and wineries - here for it! 🙌🏽🌳🥂 #fairmontempress

I’m taking an ancestral healing course with @sac

I’m taking an ancestral healing course with @sacredancestry right now, and that coupled with the two books I’ve recently read: Belonging by @tokopa and You Are the Medicine by @asha.frost (both incredible!), has really had me diving in deep into themes around lineage, tradition, belonging, community, wisdom-sharing, well-being, love, reciprocity and care ♥️ I’ve been asking my dad more questions about our family, lineage, and ancestral lands, I’ve been connecting to my healed, wise and well ancestors through meditation, and I’ve been listening more intently to wisdom that’s shared through meaningful storytelling✨ To know where we are going, is to know where we came from👣 To be well and to heal, is to acknowledge the gifts and traumas that our ancestors passed onto us 🧬 To live in our purpose, is to connect deeply with our ancestral wisdom and folklore 🗣 What’s your connection with your ancestors and the wisdom of your lineage like? Feel free to comment or DM me - I find this topic incredibly interesting, and would love to know how you walk on this earth ♥️✨🌳 #forageandsustain
