Seattle alternative healer Rose De Dan has released her calendar, “Cats: Urban Tigers, Shamanic Perceptions 2007.” As an animal communicator, Reiki Master and shaman, she combines her photos with cutting-edge graphics to reveal the soul of the cat.

SEATTLE, Wash./EWORLDWIRE/Oct. 4, 2006 — Seattle artist and specialist in alternative healing for animals, Rose De Dan has released her 2007 calendar titled, “Cats: Urban Tigers, Shamanic Perceptions 2007.” De Dan, founder of Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing, maintains a healing practice for animals as well as for humans. Sharing her skills as a graphic artist with Alex Guillotte, De Dan uses her own photographs to create exquisite images of cats for each month of the year. Included with each image is a quote that reveals some secret about the mystery of the cat.

A dedicated environmentalist as well as a trained shaman, De Dan produces the calendars annually to share with her clientele and the general public how animals can positively impact the lives of humans.

“The purpose of this calendar is greater than the presentation of pretty images,” De Dan noted. “It is about recognizing what we have in common with the animals who share our lives and what they have to teach us.”

Partially disabled by an auto accident and unable to range far and wide for the perfect cat image, De Dan chose to prowl the haunts of her own neighborhood to capture the elusive and secretive nature of cats. The result is a full-color art and photography calendar that gives a rare glimpse into the enigmatic lives of the local cats who live nearby.

The 12-month spiral-bound calendar offers a unique, feline image for each month. Measuring 11″x17″, the calendar fits neatly on the wall. Sturdy, high-gloss paper gives plenty of room on each day to write down commitments and reminders. This monthly calendar retails for $17.99. A different version featuring a single image and the year-at-a-glance retails for $5.99. All twelve images are available in this less expensive format.

A portion of the calendar sales will be donated to local animal rescue organizations to assist less fortunate animals in finding permanent homes. Persons interested in purchasing the calendar may order directly from the CafePress website.
