I want to acknowledge that the Gaia Hive is on the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation:
The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations.
And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash,
now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.
May the work of the Gaia Hive be of service
and a prayer to the next 7 generations.

Mentorships are open to all genders. It is a safe place for LGBTQIA folks. We will work together to co-create a loving and healing space for everyone. Plants are amazing non-binary teachers. The learning area is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
Mosquitoes, deer flies, & wasps are present. These insects are our teachers. May Gaia bless them and teach us how to love them.
We will be walking on uneven terrain.
