“We can’t forget that humans are animals, too.” In this eye-opening episode, Kathy is joined by Rev. Sarah Bowen, a founding member of Compassion Consortium and author of the new book Sacred Sendoffs: An Animal Chaplain’s Advice For Surviving Animal Loss, Making Life Meaningful, & Healing The Planet (out April 5th!). Stay tuned for her conversation with Kathy, where they discuss:

  • Sarah’s early relationships with animals, including a beloved family cat and the squirrels outside her window
  • How Sarah’s farmer grandfather influenced her views of animals, and the “aha” moment that changed her life
  • The themes of understanding animal loss and grief discussed in her new book 
  • The basic steps anyone can take to better understand the animals around them, including meditation with their own companion animals
  • Compassion Consortium's goal to support those who feel something is “missing” from their pre-existing spiritual practices
