an embodied prayer offered to the launch of KOHO, a community arts center in san francisco japantown. the prayer is to continue to awaken and restore the empowered feminine in our lineages. to recognize and unweave from colonial and patriarchal harm as it has been implanted in our bodies and minds. to become collectively conscious of our responsibilities as guests on Ramaytush Ohlone land. to support the rematriation of land and culture, recognizing how our own prayers of truly thriving are bound up with those of the native people upon whose lands we live, work, and weave belonging and community.

may it all be so.
