Day two of the 5 day advanced animal communication counseling course with Penelope Smith in Prescott, AZ. Very powerful stuff. There are 11 students, one assistant and me, the apprentice! The past two days have been totally focused on being present. Actually being present with a human. You see, professional animal communication is not all about animals. Most of the time the issues are with the human and reflected by the animal.
There is a fine art, if you will, to be totally present with another human. To listen. Really listen to what they have to say without putting your own agenda and 'stuff' into the conversation. It has been a privilege to observe the wonderful and sweet students as they get real with themselves and go deep with this work. They are changing right before our eyes as they open and soften.
Tomorrow we will begin teaching about actual consultations. These people are going to be very good animal communicators.

Arizona
I traveled to Arizona yesterday. This is my very first time to the south west. The 2 hour shuttle trip from Phoenix to Prescott was amazing. There really are tall cactus that look like giant men. (I will have photos at some point in time but I forgot the cable that goes from my camera to my computer!) Not many trees at all on the mountains like back east. The sun was out but one hour into the trip it began to snow. The over night temp. was 20 degrees! I was freezing, thirsty because it is so dry here and sometimes short of breath because of the altitude here in the beautiful mountains of Prescott.
Yesterday was Penelope's (My animal communication teacher, mentor and friend) birthday. Nancy and I brought dinner over and we had a celebration. Tomorrow the 5 day animal communication counselor course will begin. I will be Penelope's apprentice, learning to teach the class. There is going to be a good size group but for this level it is best for it not to be too big.
I had the honor of meeting Sherman, Penelope's 21+ year old long haired orange kitty. He is more than a master teacher. There will be lots of wonderful animal teachers at this course.
