This year, I am hoping that more folks will join us for Listening to Zoo Animal Ambassadors.
The incoming presidential administration is most decidedly not environmentally- or animal-friendly. All Our Relations are relying on us to join with them in ceremony to co-create change.

You don’t have to be local to the Seattle area to learn and make a difference, the class is available virtually and there are replays in case you miss one!

To give you an idea of just how dedicated the Zoo Animal Ambassadors are to meeting with us in ceremony, below is a collection of just a few stories from past years. I hope that you will listen to their messages and join us in ceremony this year.

• How to Greet a Tiger (Kali from Point Defiance Zoo)
• Lions and Other Animal Ambassadors Calling
• Messages from Watoto the Elephant

Animals were once, for all of us, teachers. They instructed us in ways of being and perceiving that extended our imaginations, that were models for additional possibilities.—Joan McIntyre

I hope that you will join us in exploring the possibilities.

Blessings for a beautiful holiday season,

Zoo Animal Ambassadors Need Us Now!

Learn how to walk among the animals rather than separate from them.

“The objective to save the earth’s vanishing wildlife is an extraordinary cause, requiring extraordinary effort by extraordinary people.”—Peter A. Rittler

For many years my students and I have walked among the Animal Ambassadors at zoos across the U.S., gathering their prayers, listening, and doing our very best to bring their wishes, desires and needs to ceremony. Because they are ambassadors for their wild relatives, the energetic ceremonies we create together has impact on a global scale.

As an individual and as a medicine person, I made a pledge to the animals that I would do my best to bring the people to them in ceremony so that together we can create a better world for all.

During one event, Zoo Animal Ambassador lioness Adia (who had not previously spoken to me) greeted me with a very direct stare. Referring to the work that I do in teaching folks how to meet with the Zoo Animal Ambassadors, she forcefully said, “Don’t stop.” Tearfully I promised I wouldn’t—no matter what. She passed away a few weeks later.

Listening to Zoo Animal Ambassadors is perhaps the most ambitious of my efforts to bring animals and people together for the shared purpose of creating a world where we live together in harmony, and the joy of connecting in a more spiritual way. A path of shamanic shift, mutual respect and communication with some Reiki sprinkled in.

This 6-part series takes participants on a physical or a virtual journey to meet consciously and energetically with thousands of animals, birds, fish, amphibians, invertebrates, insects—All Our Relations—in ceremony and through shamanic journeys.

And thanks to modern technology (which works great with shamanism) you don’t have to live in the Seattle area to attend—there is a virtual teleclass option so that you can participate from anywhere in the world!

We begin with two preparatory teleclasses that teach the steps we will be using to connect during each interaction with the animals. Steps that you will be able to use over and over again for meaningful and powerful visits with Animal Ambassadors wherever or whenever you wish.

Every animal is a wonderful and complex being with an individual personality with likes and dislikes. They are as varied in their desires and motivations as people, and have preferences for how they wish to serve and what they enjoy, just as we do. Among the different species are unique individuals with the drive and capabilities to be teachers and healers.

Now, imagine that you had all that latent talent and desire to serve, wanted to be more, to be greater than the limited options that are available—that you have chosen to enter this world to help create a new way of walking in this world—and then imagine that the only beings who came to visit or that cared for you were unable to see beneath the surface of the physical vessel that you currently inhabited. Wouldn’t you yearn to engage with beings who saw you as more and who wanted to partner with you for positive change?

You may have seen the powerful video Ceremony with the Lions where the people and lions of the Woodland Park Zoo gathered together in honor of tragically killed wild African lion Cecil. It is one example of what can hap pen when we meet with the Animal Ambassadors in a more mindful and spiritual way.

For this series we are invited to listen to their perceptions. We’ll be utilizing basic shamanic techniques to enable us to shift our filters so that we can truly hear their messages and create co-create ceremonies for positive change.

This class is available as one of two options:
1) Seattle area field trips plus virtual teleclasses
2) Virtual teleclasses for those who are not local.

No previous experience is required for participation, just an open heart.

The guidance I have received for the series is that while all Animal Ambassadors will be able to participate, there will be a special focus on helping those who are currently fighting for their very existence—endangered species such as Tigers, Wolves, and Rhinos. They have requested to add their prayers and intention in ceremony for creating a global shift in perceptions.

We will be meeting with Animal Ambassadors at four different zoos:
• Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium
• Northwest Trek
• Cougar Mountain Zoo
• Woodland Park Zoo

The Zoo Animal Ambassadors and I hope you will join with us on this amazing journey. After working with the teachers in this class series you will be able to walk in the world among the animals rather than separate from them.
