Storytelling Videos for Animals and People
From tender childhood moments caring for household pets to awe-inspiring encounters with wildlife, author and storyteller Rose De Dan shares 32 true-life stories woven with animal communication and Reiki/shamanic energy healing.
“Rose’s stories are balm for the soul!”
Through Rose’s storytelling, you’ll discover the wisdom animals offer and the transformative power of listening with an open heart. From pigeons to jaguars, each encounter reveals the universal language of compassion that connects all beings.
Whether offering healing energy to shelter cats or finding solace in the presence of a mysterious forest cat, these stories sparkle with humor, heart, and profound insight—reminding us how deeply we are connected with the natural world.
“It was a lovely time shared by all.”
“Beautiful stories Rose, thank you so much for sharing them!”
From author and storyteller Rose De Dan:
In olden times, folks gathered together to listen to stories that amused, inspired, and touched the heart. I thought it might be fun to revive that ancient tradition with the help of modern technology.
These stories come from my own experiences with animals and animal teachers, shared with the intention of inspiring, entertaining, and creating positive change.
All but one of the stories are original, written and read by me. So, grab a coffee, tea, or a glass of wine, and settle in with my cats Manitou and Night Sky for a cozy listen by the fire.
With my background in Reiki, shamanism, and animal communication, your own animal companions may enjoy these stories, too.”
About the Collection
Born from spoken word and shared from the heart, these original audio stories gave rise to the award-winning book Out of the Darkness and Other Animal Tails.
Postscript: Senior cat Manitou transitioned into spirit shortly after filming these videos. At the time, I did not know it would be our last project together and am so grateful for the memories. He was my heart cat, and we loved sitting together by the fire.
GIFT of a Story: Dive into the suspenseful “Cat Scrimmage” and let your animal companions join the adventure! Experience the ancient storytelling tradition with the fireside ambiance and the charm of cats Manitou and Night Sky.
