We wish to acknowledge that the land this school calls home was unjustly taken, often through violence, from the indigenous communities who stewarded it for thousands of years before colonization. Specifically, we honor the Coast Salish tribes, including the Squaxin and T'peeksin peoples of what is now known as Totten Inlet. Additionally, we recognize that dismantling systemic oppression and addressing cultural appropriation require ongoing education and action. We are dedicated to fostering inclusivity in our programs, classes, sessions, and community events while continuously learning and evolving to ensure our work reflects humility, respect, and accountability.

We, the Elevation Hive Community, offer our heartfelt support to our community members and beyond who have been marginalized due to their sexual orientation, race, religion, or economic status. We have a variety of ways that we give back: financially through monthly donations, by offering partial scholarships, through art and community outreach projects that we participate in. Most of all, we aim to do our own work, and to listen to the land and people for ways that we can continue to foster healing through our actions and consciousness, though sharing, co-creating and relating. This is a practice that is constantly evolving and we are devoted to always learning new ways to humbly improve.
