"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." ― Alice Walker

Did you miss my recent keynote presentation on Living With True Kinship? No prob, you can still gain access to the insights and strategies I mentioned. They can become daily touchstones, helping you bring true kinship with animals into your daily life.
In transparency, the promo for the event said you would be receiving the video, a summary and a transcript of the event. I did not understand at that time the platform I use has a limited licence on how I use the material. My apologies for that.
What You Get:
The full length Keynote presentation, with the central concepts that were presented. This helps to deepen your understanding as you learn about true kinship in your own way, in your own time.
True kinship with animals is not a pipe dream. It is a way to connect with animals that blossoms from your core essence. What a difference that makes for the animals, the world and you!
Ready to bring more true kinship into your life and the world?
Many animals, both domestic and wild, experience fear and distress due to fireworks on the Fourth of July. The loud noises and bright flashes can trigger anxiety and panic, causing them to run away, hide, or exhibit other others signs of distress.
Here’s a thought for you: Instead of buying fireworks, how about buying a couple of bags of food to donate to an animal shelter? Make a difference instead of a noise.
I have a couple of resources to share with you that I hope you find useful.
