We would like to acknowledge and honour Country & the Darkinjung peoples, upon whose ancestral lands we live and work. We pay our respects to their wisdom, traditions, and enduring connections to sky, land, and sea Country. We recognise the deep vitality of culture and the interconnected web of relationships that form Country. With profound gratitude, we pay tribute to Elders—past, present, and emerging—and to the custodians of cultural knowledge who have generously contributed to the development of our work.
As listeners and guests, we understand that this knowledge is not ours to own but to respect and learn from. Inspired by Shawn Wilson’s words that “relationships aren’t part of reality; they are reality,” we embrace Country as an ongoing teacher, guiding us to foster care, reciprocity, and accountability in our practice.
