In this seven-part video series, energy healer/animal communicator and author Rose De Dan shares 32 real-life stories celebrating animals.

“Rose’s stories are balm for the soul!”

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.

And with the help of my Reiki/shamanic and animal communication background, your animal companions may enjoy listening to these stories of animal friends, teachers, guides, and healers, too.

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.

“It was a lovely time shared by all.”

These stories originate from my own personal experiences with animals and animal teachers over the years, with a view to inspiring, entertaining, and creating shifts and change. All but one of the stories are original, written, and read by me. Grab a coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or a glass of wine, and settle in with my cats Manitou and Night Sky for a cozy listen by the fire.

“Beautiful stories Rose, thank you so much for sharing them!”

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.

The Storytelling for Animals series contains 32 real-life stories celebrating animals. “Cat Scrimmage” is from the second video.
