Held by These Lands, Honouring Their Peoples

In embarking on this journey within the conscious dying space, the ABE team honour and acknowledge the sacred lands upon which we stand, work, and dream. These territories have been cherished and stewarded since time immemorial by the Coast Salish peoples, long before our arrival.

With humility and deep gratitude, we acknowledge that our work takes place on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Their enduring presence and connection to the land inspire us as we strive to bring compassion, guidance, and support to those navigating the sacred path of conscious dying. We are committed to walking this path with reverence for these Nations, their cultures, and their ancestral knowledge.

We pledge to foster belonging and inclusivity, grounded in a spirit of reconciliation, understanding, and harmony. May our efforts honour the land, its peoples, and our shared responsibilities as we imagine more beautiful endings, together.
