Shifting from Dominance to Kindness

Horse WisdomAugust 9, 202532Views 0Likes 0Comments

Today is my heart horse's 26th birthday, and I've cherished all the years we've gotten to spend together, and I hope we'll spend a few more together too. When I started training her, there was a shift toward "natural" horsemanship. Clinicians such as Clinton Anderson were claiming they used natural training methods. I was quite…

What Horses Have In Common with Yoga and Reiki

Horse Wisdom, reiki, YogaAugust 2, 202531Views 0Likes 0Comments

I've often talked about having a lot of tools in my toolbox to help people in uncovering their authentic selves through spiritual storytelling. Being an alchemist, I like to bring different things together to see how the energies work or how it feels. And the part of my mind that's still tied too much to…

Being Embodied Means Moving The Body

Body TheologyJuly 30, 202537Views 0Likes 0Comments

As embodied beings we need a few things to survive. Food and water are the two that come to mind, and shelter ranks high on the list. But we also need to take care of our physical body, and part of that involves being aware of it. You might be wondering just how we can…

What Does Healing Look Like?

Body Theology, Healing, my philosophyJuly 23, 202538Views 0Likes 0Comments

It's not a secret I have a difficult relationship with the word "healing". In our modern society healing seems to be a "one and done" situation. You get sick, you take medicine, and though it may take a while to recover depending on the severity of the illness and the treatment proscribed generally if someone…

Knowing Better, Doing Better, and Shame

neurodivergent, storytellingJuly 18, 202537Views 0Likes 0Comments

Intention begets action. We must have the intention to change our stories and to dive into our own personal storytelling before we actually make change. But when a recent article said that "we all know people who know the right things to do, but can't do them consistently", the shame implied in that statement gave…

Listening To Horses Without Deification

Horse Wisdom, storytellingJuly 12, 202535Views 0Likes 0Comments

Recently an article came across my social media feed that talked about how the equine therapy industry has deified horses to the determent of honoring their unique personalities, behaviors, and rights as a sentient entity of their own. This mirrors some discussions that have been happening within the spirituality communities, namely the pagan one, who…

Horse Wisdom Tells Us Hurt Horses Hoard Food

Horse WisdomJuly 5, 202521Views 0Likes 0Comments

I've been reading a lot of Sallie McFague's work. She was an environmental theologian and her work on the Models of God is important, dare I say vital, to my thesis. In her work she talks about those who choose to hold onto the monarchic, parental authority model of God, who see of themselves the…

What Is Spiritual Storytelling?

storytellingJuly 4, 202524Views 0Likes 0Comments

The stories we tell about ourselves shape our lives, both our inner worlds and the exterior worlds. Often we don't even realize we picked up these stories, and it takes something profound to shake us out of our stories or even to make us aware of them. The process of working with those stories is…

Finding the Sacred In A Painful Body

Body TheologyJuly 2, 202519Views 0Likes 0Comments

July is Disability Pride Month and so for this month I will be talking about spirituality, sacredness, and our relationship to the divine in a body that's both socially, medically, and through the minority group model disabled. In short, there are multiple models of disability, and what this means is that people are disabled through…

Protecting Your Space With Horse Wisdom

Horse Wisdom, my philosophyJune 21, 202550Views 0Likes 0Comments

I walk among the herd to gently guide senior mare to the shed so she can have her leisurely, "gooshy" lunch, as I call it, of soaked senior pellets, soaked beet pulp shreads (We really need Unbeetable Feeds to sponsor us!), and some supplements. It's our noon-ish ritual. I go in the house, take care…

Spirit’s Place on the Pride Flag

queerJune 20, 202561Views 0Likes 0Comments

When the original Pride flag was created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker it included a purple stripe on the bottom for spirit. Though the flag we use today has been revised, it has six stripes instead of the original eight, the purple bottom stripe representing spirit remains. (Outright International) I did a quick web engine…

Can Sick Bodies Be Divine?

Body Theology, Chronic Illness, DisabilityJune 18, 202546Views 0Likes 0Comments

I'm almost 30 pages into my thesis talking about disability liberation, so allow me to indulge myself a bit by blogging about not just a topic I'm extremely interested in, but also one that impacts me personally. Today is an especially rough flare day for my chronic illness/disability. Honestly, with this wild weather we've been…

Horses Remind Us About Community Care

Horse WisdomJune 14, 202572Views 0Likes 0Comments

The days are becoming longer so when I go out to visit the horses, often around noon to give senior heart mare her lunch, I'll find the sacred herd under one of their favorite trees standing nose-to-tail so that when one swishes flies, it'll also take care of the flies that might land on the…

Spirituality Is Radical Resistance

anti-capitalism, embodied being, neurodivergent, spiritualityJune 13, 2025105Views 0Likes 0Comments

If we use the definition of spirituality that it is a connection with something larger than ourselves, which could mean our higher self, our soul, our spirit, our community, or the universe itself, then being spiritual in way that seeks to build connection, authenticity, and community is a radical act of resistance. This would be…

Sacred Bodies and Gendering/Ungendering

Body TheologyJune 11, 202569Views 0Likes 0Comments

Body theology is just one aspect of embodied theology, but it makes the most salient point: that our bodies are not "fallen" or "sinful" or something dirty to be left behind. Instead, body theology states that our bodies are sacred. Depending on your religious or spiritual traditions (or paths), the body could be the manifestation…

Removing the Stigma of “Woo Woo”

UncategorizedJune 6, 2025103Views 0Likes 0Comments

When you use "Woo Woo" to discuss any type of complimentary or new age healing or spirituality modality, the truth is that's a derogatory term. Looking at the origins of the word, it was in use in the 1970s to refer to supernatural phenomena like ghosts. But in the 1930s and 1940s it meant "sex…
