I am in deep gratitude for and offer blessings to all those who have taught me, mentored me, and have influenced me, including those named here and those I may have forgotten to name. What this page documents are the human lineages and influences that have supported my community service and offerings. I can share the non-human lineages and influences in ceremony.
