important notes from our heart to yours.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Naven Alchemy respectfully acknowledges that we are on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat, and the Anishinaabe peoples. We are also on the land that has been home to many other Indigenous nations over time and continues to be a place of cultural significance and spiritual connection for the Indigenous peoples of this region.
We recognize the deep wisdom and teachings of the ancestors who have cared for this land for millennia. We honor their legacy and the ongoing relationship they have with this land, its creatures, and its waters. We give thanks to the teachers who came before us, whose sacred knowledge and traditions continue to guide us in our work.
In this space, we strive to walk in alignment with the values of respect, healing, and interconnectedness. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, recognizing their resilience and strength in the face of continued challenges.
May we honor the teachings of the land and the wisdom of the ancestors as we continue our own paths of transformation and sacred connection.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Naven Alchemy is a sanctuary for transformation, healing, and authentic connection. We invite you to enter this space with openness, respect, and a commitment to both your personal growth and the collective energy of the community. Our guidelines are designed to maintain a safe, supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
​
REMEMBER RESPECT
Honour the space and everyone in it. Communicate with care and mindfulness, and listen deeply. Each person’s journey is unique, and we offer support with empathy and without judgment.
PRACTICE MINDFULNESS & SELF AWARENESS
We encourage you to practice awareness in your sharing. Consider the balance between offering your voice and creating space for others to be heard. If you tend to share more, practice stepping back and allowing others to share their experiences. Likewise, if you’re inclined to hold back, trust that your voice matters and that this is a safe space to express authentically.
​
EMBODY AUTHENTICITY
This is a space for genuine self-expression. We support you in rediscovering your true essence, in exploring your own truth, and in aligning with your deepest self.
​
HONOUR BOUNDARIES
Respect personal and energetic boundaries within the group and one-on-one interactions. This includes physical boundaries as well as emotional and energetic space. Always ask for permission before engaging with someone else’s belongings or energy.
​
PROTECT THE SACRED SPACE
Our physical space and sacred practices, such as in the sound bath studio, are to be treated with reverence. Do not touch or move items that are not yours. Instruments used in the sound bath are sacred and fragile and should not be touched or played by anyone other than the facilitator.
​
PRIVACY & SACRED MOMENTS
Photography is allowed in the space outside of sound bath sessions, but please refrain from taking photos or sharing any images of individuals without their consent. During sound baths and other sacred moments, all phones should be kept outside the room to maintain the purity of the experience.
​
REMEMBER YOUR SOVEREIGNTY
While we are here to support your healing, please remember that our offerings are not substitutes for medical or therapeutic care. If you are in need of professional services, we encourage you to reach out to trained, licensed practitioners.
Thank you for bringing your energy to Naven Alchemy. We trust that together, we will create a space where all can feel seen, heard, and supported as we embark on our journey of healing and transformation.
