“[I want people to know] how special Martha is, and what a gift our 13 years together were. We had a deep, deep connection because we both allowed it. From the beginning, she is the one who initiated that connection, and we shared a great love for one another.”
~ Stacie Mason
Content warning: On episode 81 of the True Kinship With Animals Podcast we’re covering the deathcare, death and dying of animal family members and the grief those of us left behind feel. Our guests are human Stacie Mason, angel cat Martha, with the occasional appearance of angel cat Raven.
Death & grief don’t take a break for the holidays. Should you chose to listen to this episode, be gentle with yourself, listen if/when you are able. There are no ‘shoulds’ in grief.
About me…..
I am an animist, podcaster, intuitive practitioner and mentor identifying as she/they and respectfully acknowledge I am 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.
