Here's a list of journal prompts and activities to help you embrace your species because I miss when therianthropy and nonhumanity ws more than quadrobics and gear and exclusionary bullshit on tiktok—

### **Journal Prompts**

1. **Self-Reflection:**

- What aspects of your species do you feel most connected to?

- How do you interpret pack/flock/htouping instinctual dynamics in your human relationships?

3. **Nature Connection:**

- What natural environments make you feel most at home?

- Describe a perfect day in the wilderness.

- Write about how you perceive the moon and its influence on you.

[[[4.**Wolf-Specific Exploration:**

- Research the behaviors and habits of wolves. How do you see yourself in them?

- Remember or imagine your role in a wolf pack. Are you a leader, a scout, a caregiver?

- What does your howl symbolize? Write a poem or story about it. ]]]

5. **Spiritual/Philosophical Reflection:**

- How does being an animal shape your understanding of existence or the human-animal connection?

- Do you see your therianthropy as something spiritual, psychological, or both?

- What would you say if you could speak to your animal form directly?

### **Activities**

1. **Nature Connection:**

- Experiment with different postures or gaits that feel more comfortable with your species.

4. **Sensory Exploration:**

- Engage your senses by using essential oils, sounds, touch, taste...

5. **Journaling Practice:**

- Create a "log," where you record daily animalistic experiences, emotions, or instincts.

- Keep track of the moon phases and note how they align with your therian experiences.

6. **Study and Research:**

- Study your species behaviors and see how it parallels 'human' interactions in your life.

7. **Meditation and Visualization:**
