One of the foundational cornerstones of practicing true kinship with animals is discovering how influenced you are by colonized systems and expectations - like the one that says humans have dominion over animals. When you first embody that, it can be a shocker!
OK. So it’s safe to say that as a human you human better than 4 legged, feathered, finned, scaled and furred kin, but I bet you don’t spider better than a spider or groundhog better than a groundhog.
Right?
We humans have created identity for all that is, so the deck is stacked in our favor. This results in those who are other than human as……well, less than.
*very puzzled look*
True kinship with animals aims to unstack that metaphorical stacked deck, to be in relationship-with animals instead of claiming power-over.
Intrigued? I invite you to join me on the upcoming online live event REIMAGINE.

If you’re on the fence, perhaps looking through one of the true kinship teachings The Freedom of Curiosity. will help you decide. You’ll also see journal prompts, an affirmation, altar suggestions and practice suggestions that help you integrate true kinship in your own way and time. Let me know what you think of this teaching.
