Herd Around the Barn

017 Animals as Teachers and Healers


Listen Later

In this episode, Kathy Stevens discusses:
* Finding the touchstones in your life to bring you back to your best self.
* The story of her greatest teacher, a sheep named Rambo, convincing a pig that life was worth living.
* The gift that animals offer humans.
Key Takeaways:
* At sanctuaries, it's not just the humans who help animals heal: other animals have an important role as well.
* Pigs are fastidious animals: their penchant for mud is to prevent sunburn, keep the bugs off, and keep cool with their lack of sweat glands.
* Connecting deeply with animals during uncertain times is a healthy way to stay grounded.
* Find the things that give you joy.
“I wouldn't leave a plant behind, much less a highly aware, sensitive, and intelligent animal dependent on humans for his very survival." – Kathy Stevens
