As someone who respects animals as kin and honors their agency, it can be difficult and disheartening to navigate a world that, in general, claims animals are subordinate to humans.
So you find yourself living in tension between society’s practices and the way you want to coexist with animals. It can feel like an uphill battle where you’re tilting at windmills.
The good news is you're not alone. There’s a place where your commitment to meeting animals in their agency is validated, encouraged, nurtured and supported. I invite you to become a member of the online community Kindred.
It is for folx who are feeling they're caught between a rock and a hard spot on how society treats animals (as animals) and how you treat them (as kin).
What makes Kindred unique
As far as I am aware, Kindred is the only one of its kind in colonized society.
Kindred encourages you to look at your relationship with animals differently so that a new place of understanding begins to open for you. It offers the support of like minded community as you:
recognize and disengage from colonized expectations around animal/human relationship
raise awareness of the effect layers of colonized programming have had on you throughout your life
discover the importance of body centered awareness in addition to mind centered awareness
learn to navigate this new way of being in a “practice room” while receiving teachings from myself and gaining confidence and support from the community
Coming in October
In October you’ll be able to experience Kindred for yourself! I’m hosting a free Kindred webinar and you’ll have the chance to participate in community and see for yourself the difference Kindred can make in your relationship with animals. You’ll get a chance to ask questions, make comments, connect and chat with like minded folx. Stay tuned for details!
There are 3 levels of membership for Kindred and you can join at the level that calls to you. If you can’t wait to get started and want to dive in now by finding out more or joining, click the button!
