I’m often asked “Do you know if this true kinship path is right for you?”.

My answer has changed over the years.

Starting back in early 20something the answer was “Damn straight. I know my stuff and I’m the person you want to work and study with. Let’s get started, shall we?” In other words on the scale of omnipotent beings there was me and the Wizard of Oz was about 5 levels lower.

A decade later the answer had changed to an ingratiating “I believe so, it’s a way to connect in harmony with all animals so they can heal us.”

Now the answer is a short, sweet, simple “Yup.”

Today I show up in the world with my way of thinking, feeling and embodying having gone through a radical overhaul over the decades. That’s a VERY big deal. HUGE.

And I believe it is in a large part due to my commitment to true kinship.

What True Kinship Means To Me

Since practicing true kinship I am learning to:

• Stop masking so that I am liked and fit in with certain groups

• Authentically show up for animals - including humans - if asked and to the best of my ability

• Move from a networking mindset to co-creating in community

• Authentically share with like minded souls when asked

• Accept support

• Give support when asked

It’s a relief to not have to downplay my relationship with animals and true kinship and what they are to me. It’s cathartic to be with an animal in kinship and not as a human master. Justifications are a thing of the past.

What True Kinship Means To Animals

It’s not my place to speak for them, they have their own voices.

What I can tell you is how one of the cats in the Roper animal family, Raven, lived it. He felt comfortable showing up as his own self. He acted with intentionality and made decisions based on his preferences and desires. He ruled the household and all of us in it from his perspective, which was thoughtful and considered, whether or not the rest of us agreed with it.

Am I glad Raven showed up as Raven? Yes. In hindsight, would I change anything? Most probably, but it has more to do with me wanting to override his agency.

Is True Kinship Right For You?

In all honesty I don’t know. That’s something only you can answer.

What I can do, however, is help you find clarity, support and companionship as you are asking yourself that question. If that sounds like your cuppa, here’s the link (or a trail of breadcrumbs? 👣 😊) to find your way to my nook on the web.

Until next time,
