Equine-Assisted Therapy -...

Vivian Westlake

Horses have long been admired for their strength, grace, and beauty, but their role in human healing extends far beyond these physical qualities. Over the years, research and practice have increasingly shown that horses possess a unique ability to promote emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) leverages this connection between humans and horses to foster healing in individuals facing a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health struggles to physical disabilities.
The connection between humans and horses is deeply rooted in history. Horses have been companions to humans for thousands of years, assisting in transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Throughout this history, humans have formed a deep bond with these majestic animals. Today, this bond has evolved into a therapeutic relationship, where horses act as partners in the healing process. Unlike traditional therapies, the equine approach is hands-on, experiential, and often non-verbal, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel natural and safe.
One of the most remarkable aspects of horses is their ability to reflect human emotions. Horses are incredibly sensitive animals, capable of picking up on subtle cues such as body language, tone of voice, and even a person’s emotional state. This sensitivity allows horses to act as mirrors, reflecting back emotions that individuals may not be aware of or may have difficulty expressing. This process can be incredibly insightful for clients, offering them an opportunity to better understand and process their emotions.

Our Last Best Act - Planning For...

Mallory McDuff

As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
 
 
 
With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
 
 
 
In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.
