Hello there!
Rabbit hole dujour - animals tend to gather in flocks, packs or herds while humans tend to fly solo. That’s what’s expected of us in a colonized society.
So a lot of us don’t have our own true kinship herd we can hang out with. Folx who ‘get’ what true kinship means and don’t give us THAT LOOK when we start talking about animals being kin or having their own agency.
Without community, we might even feel actively unsupported a lot of the time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a herd of like minded folx who not only ‘get’ what you mean when you’re talking kinship and agency, but get ACTIVELY EXCITED and join in the conversation? Maybe so excited they interrupt with “Yes, I know!” from time to time?
Imagine the support you would feel as your confidence is bolstered!
What would it be like to have a place to have your ‘odd’ question answered or where you can share a challenge you’re facing and get some encouraging feedback.
One of the reasons Kindred came to be was to offer a safe, intentional and useful spot for folx like you to gather, explore and co-create conversations in community about new ways to relate with animals. It’s also a place to discover what societal ‘shoulds’ are affecting you and ways to disentangle from them.
Being willing to step forward and participate in changing your relationship with animals is courageous. It’s the practice of being different, doing things differently and marching to a different drum.
And it blossoms in community.
Here’s what Founding Member, Sandy, has to say:
You don’t have to be alone anymore. There’s a safe place where you can come for encouragement, witnessing and support.
Try Kindred for a month and see what happens. Kindred has 3 levels, choose the level that feels right to you and explore. For that month you will have anytime access to the growing library of teachings and video available at your level. You’ll have access to my feedback in the live Q&A session as well as the ideas of other members. Join, and see what difference Kindred can make in your life.
This is a carefully cultivated and intentional community of like minded folx who support animals in their agency. Let yourself be supported on your true kinship journey!

About me…..
I am an animist, podcaster, intuitive practitioner and mentor identifying as she/they and respectfully acknowledge I am supported and sustained on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Séliš (Salish) and QÌispé (upper Kalispel or Pend d’Oreille) People who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
As a practitioner of true kinship with animals, I pledge to recognize the descendants and practices of the original Peoples, Lands and Animals. I will not knowingly appropriate their wisdom, nor will I knowingly speak over their voices. When I have participated in colonialism practices, I will be accountable by publicly acknowledging the harmful practice, apologizing, and doing the needed reflection and self work to do better in the future.
For 30+ years I have facilitated clear conversations between animals and people. In my work I encourage people to recreate a bond with animals by disengaging from colonized approaches and relating in true kinship.
I am cheerfully owned and managed by a multitude of angel animals and several houseplants.
