Feathermane Soul Wisdom

In this week’s blog, The Gradient of Healing I look at the concept of moving toward healing which many think is moving toward wholeness and what that might look like for someone with a chronic illness (mental or physical) or disability. I connect the idea of wholeness with the wild, using cats as an example, and invite you to ask the question of what the spectrum of healing would look like for you.

This is our third Wisdom from the Wild episode, and I’m really enjoying these videos. Each week I’ll share with you some thoughts, an oracle card pull, and some contemplative movements.

This week’s card is gentle watcher or gentle observation. In the wild horses will see or hear something and they’ll stop and look, unmoving, seemingly fixed in place until they have a better understanding of what’s happening and then, and only then, do they act.

We can take our cues from the horses. What do we need to observe quietly and without judgment? Where can we gain more knowledge before acting? And what is it like to sit in stillness and simply observe? Where can we do more of this?

When Pope Leo XIV released a statement about and generally against AI use the media talked about it, and people began thinking about religious objections to AI requirements on the job. Recently I’ve seen a Rabbi on social media discuss Jewish objections to AI, and I’ve also seen the same from Buddhist faith leaders. As someone who is interested in religion and culture (the focus of my masters degree), I thought I would take some time to look at many world religions and see what they had to say about AI use.

In this episode I examine paganism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I will note that this is a high level overview. If what I’m talking about here interests you, I encourage you to do further research. I also admit that I have left out many more traditions than I ever could include, and so if you have additional thoughts you’d like to add, I encourage you to do so (respectfully of course).

One final note: I did not until late in this episode begin to describe the differences between generative AI and assistive AI, of which there are many. Since this ties into the nuanced discussions that we too often cannot have on social media, and into the discretion that many of the world’s faiths ask you to have around AI use, I will address it in the follow up episode. Thank you for understanding.

This is our second Wisdom from the Wild episode, and I’m really enjoying these videos. Each week I’ll share with you some thoughts, an oracle card pull, and some contemplative movements.

The theme for this week is enjoying the good things. How can we be grateful for the good moments when everything is so difficult? What will restore us and provide rest and rejuvenation? And how can we nurture our own dreams?

Recent events had me thinking about trusting my body and trusting being able to move my body. This led me to thinking about how non-human animals move with complete trust in their bodies and how my yoga practice plays a role in helping me to regain trust in my body.

What happens when Wild Spirit Storytelling, yoga, and your physical body connect? That’s what I discuss in this week’s episode.

The changes at Yoga Alliance have caused me to rethink my thoughts about the word healing, what it means, and how I use it in my work. This is probably the first of several blog posts talking about healing, personal transformation, and finding meaning. I hope you’ll join me for this journey.

What does the Tower tarot card, the wild, and our current poly-crisis situation have in common? Dogma. The unwavering belief that some humans have that things should not and could not be changed because that is how they were always done.

And yet, dogma is a very human construction like a lot of other things. While the wild may have instinct and established patterns, it can, and does, change. (A good example is the birds that stopped over in the upper midwest to wait for the cold front to push forward before going southward.)

When we connect with the wild, we put a crack in dogma. We start to examine it, and when we connect with the wildness inside ourselves, we start to see where we may be tied to dogma and how we can begin to untether ourselves from it.

This episode is an exploration of these themes and an invitation to see what dogma you still may be clinging to and why.

I did an earlier episode about the spiritual care buffet, but lately I’ve been thinking about just how the different things I do go together and why I offer all these different things. So today, I want to speak a little bit about that and why having so many options can be beneficial to those of us who are neurodivergent, queer, chronically ill or consider themselves disabled (under any model of disability).
