About us
If your camera roll has 400 animal photos and you can explain why every single one is different, you’ll be in good company.
Kindred Spirits & Animal Companions is a Denver-area gathering place for animal lovers who feel at home in nature and are curious about spirit. We see animals as companions with personalities, preferences, and a say in how we share our lives together. We welcome different spiritual beliefs and make room for both conventional veterinary wisdom and complementary practices. What brings us together is a sense that all living beings are connected, and that animals help us feel it in everyday life.
Some days, we’ll meet for coffee, swap stories, and pass our phones around the table. Other times, we’ll share and trade animal- and nature-themed tarot or oracle decks, celebrate the turning of the seasons and the Wheel of the Year, or get together for an Animal Connection Sound Journey or an Animal Reiki class. There’s also room for the tender parts of loving animals, with pet loss support circles and gatherings to remember and celebrate the companions we miss.
I’m Jaime Kuhn, founder of The Empowered Companion® and human to Jerry, Franky, and Alley, who account for a very respectable percentage of my camera roll. I started this group to find more people who enjoy talking about animals as much as I do and are up for exploring where animals, nature, and spirituality meet.
Come for whatever feels like you. Bring a favorite deck, a good story, or that one photo you’ve been waiting for someone to ask about. We really do want to see it.

Free Pet Loss Support Circle | Denver
Prodigy Coffeehouse / 40th & Colorado, 3801 E 40th Ave, Denver, CO 80205, USA, Denver, CO, USFree Pet Loss Support Circle | Denver | In-person
When an animal you love dies, even the ordinary parts of the day can feel different. The house may feel quieter. You might still look for them in their favorite spot. It can help to spend an hour with people who understand how much that bond matters.
Join us for a small, in-person gathering to share stories, remember the animals we love, and find support in each other’s company. You’re welcome to talk about your companion, bring a photo or small memento, or simply listen. There’s room for tears, laughter, and quiet. We ask everyone to keep what’s shared in the circle private.
I’m Jaime Kuhn, founder of The Empowered Companion® and a Certified Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula. I’ll guide our time together, with space for whatever feels most helpful to the group that day. The circle has no religious affiliation, and people of all beliefs and backgrounds are welcome.
