In this episode Sary and Anne-Marie explore what people can learn about connection and humanity from animals and what we can gain from honoring their nature and work with it rather than seek to own, control, exploit and manage them. We showcase the work that Dr. Trisha Weldon is giving the world through her Equine Therapy program at Ananda Ranch in Grenada, California and Stable Hands I’m Yreka, California.

4. The “dragons” in avatar that Anne Marie referenced. According to Avatar Wiki fandom are, Mountain banshees (na’vi  name : Ikran) which are large dragon lake Ariel predators that are native to Pandora. They are used by the Na’vi for hunting from the air and traveling large distances. Na’vi can connect to a banshee through a neural interface that allows animal and writer to move with a parent effortlessness through the skies.
