​"We begin by grounding ourselves in the Ancestral Soil of this land, acknowledging the traditional keepers who have tended this hearth since time immemorial. We recognize that the water, the wind, and the stories of this place are part of the One Flame we all share.

​In our work today, we commit to the following relational covenant:

​To the Land: We walk with the awareness that we are guests on this soil, pledged to leave it fertile for the seven generations to follow.

​To the Individual: We honor the Sovereign Shadow, treating every story and piece of information as a sacred bundle held in trust under the protection of Sacred Silence.

​To the Truth: We offer the power of presence to feed the breath of those speaking hard truths, standing as Truth Tellers to ensure our collective integrity remains whole.

​To the Community: We commit to tending the hearth, understanding that by caring for ourselves and one another, we keep the fire of our shared purpose burning bright.

​As we light our individual candles from the One Flame, may we move forward in a good way, rooted in respect and bound by our shared breath."
