Day 0
Animal Connection
Starts Jul 25, 2021!
“You cannot share your life with a dog...or a cat and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.” - Jane Goodall
If you feel called to acknowledge the deep heart connection between humanity and the animal kingdom, and you feel called to be among community that circulates love over fear, we invite you to join us for this 8-Day exploration. The Animal Connection Pod acknowledges and explores the value of connection with the animal kingdom for inner and outer transformation.
We invite you on a journey from separation to wholeness. Grounded in the non-judgmental commons of the animal kingdom, we explore perspectives and relationships, empathy and family through our stories, often unexplainable experiences and heart-based science.
We hold the question,"How can we expand perspectives about who animals are and who we are in relation to them?"
Our Pod serves to illuminate and amplify the profound ways the animal kingdom opens human hearts. Everyone has a connection with animals, whether it’s through family, enjoyment of nature, art, sport, work, food, or spirituality - could this connection be a foundation of common ground for harmony with all of life?
Invoking feelings of connection, equity and compassion, we examine both the magic and the science of connection with animals, and we explore the changes within one's self when awareness is brought to the sense of connection.
Our shared commitments: kindness of heart, compassionate listening, connection with all life, consciousness of mind, dedication to heart.
Our shared purpose: to create online community, to generate collaborative curriculum, to grow in wisdom and learn to love without judgment.
Our shared space to tell our stories, expand our perspectives of animals, to explore with each other what these precious lives have to offer.
A wise internal architecture with wise boundaries, agreements, codes, and ability to keep all engagement at the small is beautiful level.
