    SoulStream is a geographically dispersed contemplative Christian community. We recognize and respect the significance of the vast land we live on and our relationship to it, especially in light of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. We are grateful for their care and conservation.

    As a community, SoulStream has renounced and repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery. We acknowledge that settler/colonial relationships with Indigenous rights are still not reconciled. We encourage SoulStream Partners and inhabitants of North America to respect and honour local Indigenous communities, to engage and learn about their cultures, language and history, and do what they can to support them.
