In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by world-class horsemanship trainer Warwick Schiller. Warwick Schiller is a lifelong horseman, international reiner, and host of The Journey On Podcast. Originally from Australia, he moved to the U.S. to pursue his passion for training horses, eventually becoming an NRHA Reserve World Champion and representing Australia at the 2010 and 2018 World Equestrian Games. Known for his clear and compassionate teaching style, he has coached riders to top titles including NRHA World Champion and Rookie of the Year. Warwick is the author of The Principles of Training and runs Warwick Schiller Performance Horsemanship in California with his wife Robyn and son Tyler, focusing on relationship-first horsemanship. In this episode, Warwick discusses topics related to his training philosophy, including: • Why putting the relationship with the horse and the horse's sense of safety should come before all else. • How personal growth and self-awareness can deepen your connection with your horses and improve your effectiveness as a trainer. • The importance of setting horses up for success at every stage, rather than skipping over issues or rushing the process. • Small, intentional changes that can create a big difference in the training space. Join Warwick and Sinead in this exciting conversation on the importance of prioritizing the relationship with the horse.

Carl Safina is an ecologist, author, conservationist, and animal translator whose body of work probes how free-living animals experience life. His books Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel and Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace have won numerous awards. Audubon named Carl Safina among its “100 Notable Conservationists of the 20th Century.” Carl uncovers the rich truth that many species and animals have entire cultures, traditions, familial stories, and individual quests, that all are part of this symbiotic tapestry of tales that we call “nature”. He travels alongside the sweeping wingspans of albatrosses, the elephants of East Africa, the wolves of Yellowstone, the Orcas of the Pacific Northwest, sperm whales, seals, turtles, deciphering the role of matriarchs and elders, describing how individual personalities affect all kinds of behaviors, and how these creatures too experience mourning, loss, and grief. Here we speak about all these interlocking animal worlds and lives, their highly evolved and complex cultural systems, how the world is awash in waves of communication, the imperfect evolutionary work in progress known as human empathy, and how knowledge of their existence should drastically influence strategies of conservation and regeneration. We end on a profound note speaking to the role of beauty across species and minds.(Tip: Listen to the end of this episode, the closing is particularly special...) “Culture is Life itself adjusting and responding and expressing to the corner of this galaxy in which it finds itself” - Carl Safina Episode Website Link.Show Links:Carl Safina Website with links to books, articles, podcastsThe Safina Center Non ProfitZebra Fish and empathy/oxytocin responseThe Mind of a Bee bookGuardian: Australian Songbird forgetting love songsLook out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.Photo Credit: Whales, Clark Miller Music: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock & Ellie Kidd Hosted on Acast.

Carl Safina is an American ecologist and author. He writes about our relationship with the natural world and the other beings that share it.‘In my writing I explore our relationship with the living world—and how it could be better. My more recent work also probes how free-living animals experience life. What drives my work is a devotion to free-living things and wild places. And what drives that devotion is my deep love and wonder for the living world. '  (from Carlsafina.org).During our conversation, Carl expressed his deep concerns with overpopulation, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction,  and the cruelty we inflict on other species. He attributes these issues to a fundamental failure of the education system:“What do we learn by the time we're out of high school? We learn to buy things. We're equipped to just be consumers, not human beings. We don't really learn ethics, we don't learn how to take care of each other, how to take care of the world. We don't learn any kind of perspective that would give us wisdom, let alone some of the humility that you would see in indigenous cultures who revere the world. And what do we all do in the way that we live? We use stuff up. We use things that we don't understand the consequences of. We don't understand their origins. We don't really know anything.”Carl's books include Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace; Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel; The View From Lazy Point, and others. He is the founding president of the Safina Center which explores how humans are changing the living world and its ecosystems.

Carl Safina is a pioneer when it comes to understanding the hidden—and instructive—lives of animals. In this interview about his latest book, “Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace,” he talks about what we can learn about being human from chimpanzees, parrots, pigeons and whales, much of it relevant to today's headlines.   Safina's other works include "Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel,” "Song for the Blue Ocean,” "Eye of the Albatross,” "The View From Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an Unnatural World" and others. He is the founding president of the Safina Center and is the inaugural holder of the Carl Safina Endowed Chair for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University. Safina hosted the PBS series "Saving the Ocean with Carl Safina.”   Joining host Joseph Grove are Wayne Pacelle, the founder of Animal Wellness Action, and Marty Irby, its executive director and chief lobbyist in D.C.   Music from https://filmmusic.io: "Fearless First" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com); License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Hello and welcome to this episode of the podcast. In this episode, I’m talking to ecologist and woodland owner Simon Leadbeater. We talk specifically about whether trees are sacred; spoiler alert, Simon thinks they are and he explains eloquently and convincingly why. He touches on books by authors you may well have already read; The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben and Thus Spoke the Plant by Monica Gagliano. However, if you believe trees are sacred and sentient, a problem arises, namely do you have any right to move them, to prune them or even to move amongst them. And it’s questions like these that we touch on in the episode. About Simon Leadbeater: Simon has a background in local government and the third sector. He and his wife bought Rector’s Wood in 1999 and have lived there ever since. Simon has published work around the themes or ecology, rewinding and forestry. In his own words, Simon sums up his feelings on woodlands and the right to roam therein; “I think my essential philosophy is that we lack empathy for nature and particularly her animals, and we no longer venerate nature, in particular we no longer consider trees (and other plants) as sacred. If you have empathy, and wish to act as animals’ proxy, then obviously you will give them space; if you consider trees sacred, then you will wish to look after them with reverent care. The latter would include behaving in a woodland as if you were in a temple or church – our behaviour would be appropriate for such sacred settings.”  What We Discuss: Simon’s beliefs surrounding the sacredness of trees. What are the historical roots of considering trees to be sacred? How/why have we moved away from this idea?  What makes Simon believe trees are sentient? How does this sentience manifest itself in the everyday lives of trees? What is open access to nature? Why might it be problematic? How do humans rediscover their connection with forests and woodlands? Why is important to consider the feelings of the trees themselves?

Guest Carl Safina, inaugural holder of the endowed chair for nature and humanity, Stony Brook University, and founding president of The Safina Center. speaks with Diane Horn about his book, “Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel”.

Nicole is outraged over much of the news today, from the killing of Cecil the Lion by an American dentist, to Congress' 5 week vacation coming up while there's important work to be done. Deborah Newell Tornello joins in for our Oy FloriDUH segment (and to rant about the lion killer), and David Dayen explains the latest on the highway bill and more. Plus, Nicole airs her interview with Carl Safina, animal expert and author of "Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel" recorded last week.

“Many scientists say it's impossible to study thought and emotion in non-humans. Animals, they say, don't communicate their inner turmoil through spoken word, which is why any attempt to understand their psyche is typically sneered at as ‘anthropomorphism' (transferring your own experiences and emotions onto the animals you study) and deemed ‘unscientific,'” writes Becca Cudmore on www.audobon.org.Marine Biologist Carl Safina says that scientists who watch wild animals realize the absurdity of not addressing an animal's inner life. In his new book “Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel” he takes us inside the lives and minds of animals, witnessing their profound capacity for perception, thought and emotion.

Ever wonder what's going through your dog or cat's mind? What about a bird or an elephant? Today's guest, Carl Safina, has not only wondered about it, he's devoted his life to exploring man's relationship with nature and how 'non-human' animals think and feel. We forget that we are animals, too, and minimize the ability of animals to have sophisticated inner lives, form relationships and have emotions. Mr. Safina, author of the new book, Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel, explains how and why animals are being threatened more by man today than ever before, and what this means for them - and us.
