Compass Conversations PodcastEpisode #22 - Beyond the Box: How Horses Walk Us HomeIn her book, The Tao of Equus, author Linda Kohanov shares her personal journey, revealing that it wasn’t until she fully embraced the wisdom of the horse that she finally felt comfortable being human. With this revelation as a springboard, Episode 22 weaves together, strand by strand, a beautiful story of what it means to be human.As humans, each of us has the innate capacity to sense truth. In the absence of conflict or resistance, the doorway to wisdom, clarity, and the next possibility opens, and an ancient, lost language re-awakens within us. But somewhere along th...2025-02-041h 01
Compass Conversations PodcastEpisode #15 - Community of Care: The Multiple Dimensions of Healing and Connection What does it mean to love horses, but struggle to have the same empathy and love for people? Today’s episode touches on a challenge that many in the horse profession face. People who love animals and care so deeply for the environment and the land have a tendency to grapple with conflicting feelings toward humanity, often seeing the very best and the very worst of people in the same day. Is it enough to truly and deeply love horses without feeling the same love for their human partners? Can we genuinely affect healing and change without fall...2024-07-041h 04Compass Conversations PodcastEpisode #14 - Risk and RelationshipThis episode wanders and flows gently through two interconnected topics: risk and relationship. Do connection and relationship alter our perception of risk? When you truly know another being for who they genuinely are, beyond their labels, can you have more trust in that person or animal? Would you put your child on a “dangerous” off-the-track thoroughbred? Sleep outside in an area known to have mountain lions? Choose to live in an area constantly being reborn and reshaped by active volcanoes? Living in fear means always seeing risk; living in attunement means seeing truth.Our culture makes...2024-06-0656 minCompass Conversations PodcastEpisode #13 - The Essence of JoyWhat is your spontaneous reaction to the word, “Joy”? Does it evoke emotions within you? Where in your body do you feel it? What words come to the forefront to describe it? How do you know it?In this episode, our guests endeavor to articulate the essence of Joy, while also pinpointing aspects of our humanity and culture that impede our ability to embrace it. Joy is found through a way of being - with ourselves, with the earth, with others. It’s part of our innate wisdom, something we seek and find and know within ourselves; We fin...2024-05-0255 minCompass Conversations PodcastEpisode #10 - Stepping into FearHow can we help fear become a recognizable stepping stone to curiosity and courage? Stepping into fear is a courageous act of embracing the unknown and acknowledging discomfort. While avoidance may provide temporary relief, it also limits our personal growth and development. When we face our fears, we often discover inner strength, resilience, and a sense of empowerment.In both the horse and human worlds, there is a misconception that we should avoid fear and discomfort at all costs - never pushing our boundaries or thresholds. Some corners of the equine world believe horses should never be...2024-02-011h 00Compass Conversations PodcastEpisode #8 - Energy: Using Words to Describe the Place of No WordsThis episode was fun for all of us. . . The word “energy” means a lot of different things to different people. In today’s episode, we explore how each of us uses energy in our work and in our teaching. Some of us interact with energy and observe what changes physically; others work with what’s tangible and observe what shifts energetically. When we shift matter, energy changes; when we shift energy, matter changes – in the end, are we really approaching our work so differently?Some see everything as energy, with no demarcation between people, animals, and object...2023-12-071h 10Compass Conversations PodcastEpisode #6 - Can I Receive The Love And Attention Being Offered?Episode #6 explores the suggestions that get in the way of clarity, receiving and enjoying relationships. This episode examines a set of questions that many people grapple with: Am I a bad person for asking for something I want? Do they genuinely want to connect with me? What does it mean if they say no? How can I interpret if the “no” is specifically relating to the task, or more generally to my request for connection?This conversation is in the context of working and being with horses, but the angst and wisdom apply far beyond relat...2023-10-0555 min
