Blessed be your arrival in this sacred Digital Sanctuary.
May your culture, ethnic origin, and all the complexities of your cultural identities be honored here, as well as the ancestral wisdom carried through your lineage across generations.
This space embraces you wholly: your spiritual guides, children, partners, siblings, animal companions, and all beloved souls connected to your journey.
I would like to also acknowledge the digital infrastructure making our connection possible today:
The data streams flowing through undersea cables, the servers processing our communications, and the devices we hold in our hands almost as a modern talismans.
I recognize the full lifecycle of these technologies:
From minerals awakened from Mother Earth, often by the hands of children and vulnerable workers in shadowed mines, to the assembly workers whose spirits flow into each component, to the communities in waste lands who will eventually return these elements to the earth.
Their labor and sacrifice, often invisible in our digital communion are consecrated in this space.
As we gather in this space, I commit to raising awareness about the unjust conditions they face and supporting efforts toward more ethical, regenerative technological practices that respect human dignity and environmental wellbeing.
I’m also grateful to the plants and herbs that have nourished and energized me while creating this Digital Sanctuary.
May your journey through this space bring clarity, connection, and renewal.
