Fireside Chat

Ranch House Collective

October 11, 2025

Unspeciated: Before emerging as a human, we are life itself. Each of our uniquenesses distilled from a place undivided by words, concepts or definitions. This is the space where we experience connection with all life, because that connection has never left us.

In our 2 hour gathering, Kerri will share the insight and inspiration behind this idea of Unspeciated. She’ll share one or two tools of awareness, with opportunities to experience yourself in this softness. Your questions and participation will contribute to recognition of this unspeciated presence, and together we’ll explore how we re-include ourselves in the family of life through this space where life recognizes itself in every form.

Bringing a higher level of awareness into relationships with horses and humans.

This 2-hour gathering is inspired by everyone who is interested in self-awareness as an approach to relationships with horses, humans and all of life.

Include yourself in these heartfelt conversations where we explore clarity and awareness from the absence of judgment. Together, we can welcome more grace into each of our journeys.

Explore how it feels to operate with no need for conflict or competition.

This is appropriate for professionals and non-professionals alike.

The future of working with and training animals is in our own self-awareness. You can master techniques, methods and practices, but the animals will always have space to get to know who you are. With simple tools, guidance to be kind with yourself and experience listening beyond judgment, you can begin to apply your techniques from a foundation of communication rather than correctness. Awareness is ultimately pragmatic!

Let self-awareness be the foundation on which you stand, the ground from which you apply your tools, and those you work with will begin to rise to meet you at the highest level of awareness you are willing to engage. The only barriers to flourishing relationships from this standpoint are the expectations and judgments you carry with you. To be without judgment is to be closer to how animals live in every moment. It is possible for humans to know and sense the absence of judgment in themselves, although it's admittedly unfamiliar. Let's play with it, and start to get some experience. A little experience can go a very long way.
