Walking with Thunder

Thunder is a fourteen year old standard bred donkey living on a farm in Prince Edward County, Ontario. He and his brother Joe are rescued animals. Spending time with a sentient being like Thunder offers warmth of spirit seldom experienced. The relationship is a place of learning where I allow myself to be present in the moment and observe his reactions to the world defined by elevated instincts such as sense of smell and hearing.

As an engaged storyteller I enjoy the fact that donkeys have ancient genes, have preceded the camels in Egypt. Mostly I’m intrigued by how the donkey has found its way into countless stories and mythologies in various cultures around the world. The walks are quiet and meditative as we take in our surrounds. We stay in the moment especially when Thunder senses something and wants to stop to figure it out. There is always a whole lot to take away from every walk. Thunder is a teacher by his very nature which is why I would like to invite you to join us as we trek the outback.

Get in touch here and learn more about the healing qualities of connecting with the animals. Experience the inner joy to be felt on our walks with Thunder. He’ll be happy to meet you.
