New month, new Kindred teaching! This month’s teaching is “Staying With Presence While Transforming”. Can’t we all use help in staying present to what is as we’re transforming into what is not yet known?
I know I can!!
For those of you not familiar with Kindred, it’s my monthly subscription program that helps you relate to animals through a new place of understanding with monthly teachings, journal prompts, practice suggestions, affirmations, altar suggestions, community forums and Q&A sessions.
Kindred is for anyone who feels stuck between a rock and a hard spot on how society treats animals (as animals) and how you treat them (as kin). It’s for those who are done with society’s archaic beliefs that ‘it’s just an animal’, giving us dominion over them and are ready to forge ahead practicing new ways to relate with animals.
Is that you? If so, there’s an amazing online community waiting for you!

What Folx Are Saying…..
"I've been here since the beginning and it is really opening my eyes and my heart. I just love being here!"

A Lived Experience
DISCLAIMER: I am sharing only my lived experience with Squirt and the trainer. This is not intended as advice, a suggestion or a recommendation.
Can you remember a time you wanted to be different with an animal but you were at a loss at how to do so? I remember when dog Squirt came to the family. The highly recommended trainer told me I had to use a choke chain with her. I didn’t want to, I intuited she didn’t need it and I saw with my own eyes she was distressed when I put it on her. BUT, he was the trainer and I was paying $$$ for his wisdom and expertise. To this day I rue following his advice. 😢😢😢
If you’ve had a similar experience, I see you. ❤️
Kindred is a breath of fresh air, showing you new ways to move forward so that you’re not stuck in old familiar and familial patterns. I find being in a new/different environment with like minded folx helps me identify those old patterns. Because the patterns are out of their usual context it’s easier for me to leave them behind and start fresh.

Support My Free Teachings
Every week you find my free teachings teachings on the site, the podcast, in this newsletter and on social media. These are free because I want to nurture the practice of community and collaboration as best I can in a society that values power-over, competition and individualism.
I honor the integrity and wisdom of the teachings as well as the time I have spent learning, tending and passing them forward. I ask if you are in a position to pay for them that you do so in a reciprocal exchange of energy. Thank you!
About me…..
I am an animist, podcaster, intuitive practitioner and mentor identifying as she/they and respectfully acknowledge I am supported and sustained 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.
