How Horses Connect Us To The Natural World

Horse WisdomFebruary 28, 202634Views 0Likes 0Comments

The more I learn about veterinary chaplaincy and ecospirituality or wild churches, the more I realize something that I've always known. While the deities are important to me, and I have some, including Epona, Celtic horse goddess, that I work with, to me the bigger connection to the sacred is the outdoors and the wild.…

Brief Podcast Hiatus

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)February 27, 202632Views 0Likes 0Comments

There will be a brief break in podcast recording. Right now I am dealing with a cold/illness and I'm also taking a class on Sunday afternoons, which is when I usually record the podcast. The class will be over after next month, so I anticipate the break not lasting more than a few weeks. But…

Can shedding happen too soon? (Horse Wisdom)

Horse WisdomFebruary 21, 202632Views 0Likes 0Comments

It happens every year. The days get longer and there's a rush of warmth, and I start to see the horses shedding. But just as soon as it begins, the weather cools and reminds us that winter will be here for another month or so. We have early narcissus flowers (daffodils) that often bloom around…

Going Shallow Means Building Walls

embodied being, wellnessFebruary 20, 202651Views 0Likes 0Comments

The last few months I've been on a mission to stop going shallow. Whether it's with my own writing (fantasy and equestrian fiction) or the work I'm doing with spiritual storytelling, I'm realizing more and more that when we put modalities into silos, for example talking about meditation and mindfulness for stress reduction without discussing…

Spiritual Spaces Not Meant For Us (Feathermane Soul Wisdom Show)

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)February 14, 202658Views 0Likes 0Comments

There's been a bit of a break in the show recording schedule in part because I've been dealing with things, and part of that is that I've been thinking about systems that aren't meant for neurodivergent people. Spirituality as it is conceived by the bulk of society is one of those things. Our need to…

Speak Up For Your Needs (Horse Wisdom Edition)

Horse WisdomFebruary 14, 202642Views 0Likes 0Comments

It was raining this morning when I went out to do morning chores, for which I was thankful because we really needed the rain. One of our horses (Kitty Kash, aka the Diva) doesn't like to eat in the rain. One of the best investments I made was in feed buckets that hook over the…

Why Am I Talking About Grief?

Body TheologyFebruary 10, 202644Views 0Likes 0Comments

There's been a shift in what I talk about on this blog, and first off, I want to reassure that I will still be talking about spiritual storytelling, and that is my focus. But there's one thing I realize both as I go through my own spiritual care, but also help others is that grief…

The Power of a Tiny Drop (Horse Wisdom)

Horse WisdomJanuary 31, 202664Views 0Likes 0Comments

Hopefully this will be the last weekend of freezing weather for at least a week. I don't know I'm hearing rumors that the polar vortex might "slosh" (puke?) down into the lower 48 mid-February, but that's future me's problem. Today me is enjoying the power of a little drop of water. I've talked up my…

Grief In The Body

Body TheologyJanuary 27, 202681Views 0Likes 0Comments

Note: This will be the first of likely many blogs about dealing with the physical sensations of grief. This initial blog is an overview. It's a kind of tiredness that's experienced in body, mind, and soul. The weight of it presses onto your shoulders. Your body aches. Your heart aches. And it feels like it…

Somatic Work To Release Stress

Horse Wisdom, nervous system regulationJanuary 17, 202664Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horses instinctively know how to move stress and discomfort through their body. Of course this doesn't mean that we need to stop looking for discomfort or not treat them, but when they are in a stressful situation, such as dealing with a higher member of the herd pecking order, they will often use different movements…

Spiritual Care is Person-Centered Care

Body Theology, Spiritual CareJanuary 16, 202666Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of the main foundational points of body theology is that we are whole and complete as we are and that our bodies are divine. It's a way of thinking about the body and of the self that is rooted in radical acceptance and liberation theories. The medical field calls it person-centered care, though they…

What Do Systems of Spiritual Care Look Like?

Spiritual CareJanuary 9, 202682Views 0Likes 0Comments

Doing a web search on the term "systems of care" brings up articles and information related to health care. In fact, most of the articles are related to children's healthcare and mental health specifically. The focus is in services available within the community and given its position within the health care field, focuses on a…

Episode 19: Reiki, Energy Work, and Mental Health

UncategorizedJanuary 4, 202659Views 0Likes 0Comments

I'll be honest that I'm rather skeptical of a lot of psychology-related studies that are published. First off, there are those who believe psychology is pathology, when I believe that it connects to all aspects of our being, and a holistic approach is the best approach. But also, I've seen how studies can be drafted…

Horse Vices, Horse Stims

Horse WisdomJanuary 3, 2026104Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horse vices are undesirable behavior in horses, and often are determined to be ways of coping with stress. In horses that are often stabled, cribbing (biting down on wood and sucking in air) and weaving are considered ways in which these bored or stressed horses cope with the stress. And studies have shown that horses…

Radical Body Acceptance

Potential CW: This post discusses body acceptance in light of gender and body dysphoria and includes discussions of body size in relation to myself. I want to preface this post by stating that this is simply my experience and my own thoughts. Each individual, especially those who are experiencing body or gender dysphoria, need to…

Horse WisdomDecember 27, 202576Views 0Likes 0Comments

Part of nurturing the human-animal bond is incorporating the wisdom that these creatures share with us into our systems of holistic spiritual care. Remembering that holistic spiritual care is care for the whole being, all aspects and on all levels, then we can begin to look around us at the natural world and see how…
