Why the Wild Spirit?

re-story-ation, wild spirituality2 days ago14Views 0Likes 0Comments

Spring is the time of renewal, and as I look around at the trees budding, the last remnants of my lilacs still attempt to perfume the air as I walk past, I realized it was time for renewal here at Feathermane Soul. Astute observers may note that I am now talking about Wild Spirit Storytelling(tm)…

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)April 12, 202629Views 0Likes 0Comments

As promised the show is back from hiatus and I wanted to announce a bit of a realignment. I've given the website a bit of a polish and wanted to take a few moments to talk to you about the change in focus that is coming to Feathermane Soul Wisdom. I'll have more announcements in…

What Horses Teach Us About Pressure and Burnout/Overload

Horse Wisdom, neurodivergentApril 4, 202642Views 0Likes 0Comments

I was listening to an equestrian podcast and a horse trainer was on talking about curiosity and getting a horse to think and engage with its world rather than shutting down. As a horse person, I found what this trainer was talking about very fascinating. First, because I've been in barns with horses who had…

Let’s Talk About “Negative Emotions”

Grief, nervous system regulationApril 3, 202640Views 0Likes 0Comments

It seems whenever someone starts to talk about difficult feelings like grief or anger, someone usually shuts them down with phrases like "think positive" or "don't be negative". As part of that brief conversation, a value judgment is placed upon whatever the person is feeling, and that is usually that the emotion is negative or…

Feeding Ourselves With The Changing Seasons

Horse Wisdom, wild spiritualityMarch 21, 202657Views 0Likes 0Comments

If the temperature outside didn't clue me in that the seasons are changing, or the fact that yesterday was the spring equinox, or the two trips I have to make outside after late afternoon feeding--one to open the horses' gates, the other to shut in the chickens who now go inside much later than they…

When Safe Spaces Don’t Feel Safe

nervous system regulation, neurodivergent, SafetyMarch 20, 202662Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of the strongest lessons I've tried to live by is to not listen to what people say, watch what they do. This could be because I consider it one of the most important things my father taught me. What this means is that when I'm in a space that talks about being safe, or…

How Horses Connect Us To The Natural World

Horse WisdomFebruary 28, 202689Views 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, 202682Views 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, 202680Views 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, 2026105Views 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, 2026112Views 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, 202696Views 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, 202687Views 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, 2026115Views 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, 2026134Views 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, 2026108Views 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…
