Offerings

Before Whiteness is an invitation for people racialized as white to explore the identities inherited through colonization, remember the ancestral ways of being that existed before whiteness, and return to right relationship with Indigenous lands, communities, one another, and the living world. This is not about guilt or shame, nor is it simply about learning the histories of others. It is about examining how colonial systems have shaped our identities, severed us from our own ancestral cultures, and normalized ways of living rooted in domination, extraction, and separation. Through reflection, dialogue, and embodied practice, participants are supported in dismantling colonial identities, reclaiming ancestral wisdom, and cultivating more reciprocal, accountable, and life-giving ways of living and relating. Before Whiteness is not a destination. It is an ongoing practice of remembering, unlearning, and returning.

Lokah is a home for regenerative ways of living, working, and relating. We believe our wellbeing is inseparable from our relationships. With ourselves. With one another. With the living world. Many of us have inherited ways of living that have been shaped by systems of disconnection, extraction, urgency, and domination. At Lokah, we practice another way. A way rooted in right relationship. Not as a destination. As a way of living. A way of working. A way of relating. Whether through Pay What You Can (PWYC) 1:1 support, consulting, speaking, or learning experiences, our work invites individuals, workplaces, and communities to cultivate the conditions for people, relationships, communities, and the living world to become healthier because of how we show up within them. This is regeneration. Sustainability asks us to do less harm. Regeneration invites us to actively contribute to the health of people, places, and communities.
