Animal Communication

ENHANCING THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS, OTHER ANIMALS AND THE NATURAL WORLD

Welcome to an exploration of interspecies communication – a journey of discovering ways to restore a deep relationship with all of life.

Communication creates a valuable bridge between human and non-human animals. By connecting with our intuition, we can engage in meaningful dialogue and remember how to hear the subtle messages from those whose space we share in our lives and our natural environment. Coming from a place of respect and reverence for all life, we can learn to understand our wilder relatives, honour their truths and live in greater harmony.

Anna’s role is communication, guidance and mentoring. She is based in the Western Cape, South Africa and offers workshops in various locations as well as consulting via phone and email for local and international clients. The goal of any consultation, lecture, workshop or interspecies experience is increased communication, empathy, compassion and mutual understanding.

KALAHARI DESERT: Animal Tracking and Communication Safari

BOTSWANA: Kalahari Desert and Khwai River Delta 18 - 27 APRIL 2012

with the Naro San Bushmen, Nicole Apelian and Jon Young (www.8shields.org)

This ten day program will be led by animal communication expert Anna Breytenbach, tracking & bird language expert Jon Young, big-cat expert, tracker and wilderness guide Nicole Apelian, and experienced wilderness guide, tracker, and master naturalist Alwyn Myburgh. The group will work closely with the Naro community for the first week of the expedition, before heading off to the Khwai River wilderness to experience new wildlife and habitats. This beautiful area is known for its rich wildlife, and we will see many species here not found in the dry Kalahari.

Learn about the natural world by seeing into the lives of wild animals through the tracks they leave behind. You will be led into a world of mystery and intrigue that we call tracking and learn how to see the surrounding landscape through the eyes of the local scout. You will be guided to develop your awareness skills and observation techniques that help you locate and see more wildlife.

These 10 days will be a culminating experience that brings together elements from all the Origins Project's subject areas gathered from the three prior weeks by the leadership team. We expect another amazing experience with the Naro in a hunting and gathering setting, and will settle into powerful exercises developed from the team's repertoire of experiential training and mentoring expertise. Jon Young and Anna Breytenbach are featured in a documentary (in production) examining the indigenous roots of interspecies communication abilities and examining current expressions of this work with everything from pets to wildlife in wild settings. Come join Jon, Anna and Nicole for an intimate and powerful journey learning from the Bushmen, the wildlife, the landscape and each other.

Testimonials

"Thank you so much for the workshop; it was so elevating, nourishing and rewarding. Your dedication to all creatures in the animal kingdom was/is palpable and the manner in which you facilitated each module was extremely professional and thorough. I enjoyed the scientific ‘blend’ in the overall mix which constitute many elements that I’ve been researching for a while now. To me, the quantitative and qualitative aspects embody an exciting and hugely stimulating expanse of further study in this field, or rather ‘the field’! All workshop elements were cohesive, each different module of which was insightful. The fact that we were made to ‘think’ or rather use our ‘intuitive’ faculties (6th sense) and then invited to share our findings with the group and facilitators, expanded and helped to solidify the learning experience."

Thank you so much for helping to make our Botswana trip so enjoyable. You certainly have given us insight and a new perspective on the relationship between humans and animals. Certainly, the more we understand our relationship with them and our ability to communicate with them, the more we can help each other. If we all could just stand back and watch, listen and try harder to be more in tune with the world around us, the more we would appreciate the smallest details, sounds, beings, nature… just appreciating all God has given us in this world.

– Shelley and Don

I like the fact that the workshop was two full days – created enough and repeated practice, which leads to confidence. Your explanations are clear and to the point; pragmatic as well. I like that you integrate left brain and right brain activities. The personal experience you add is also really great.

– Antoinette

Firstly, many thanks for a truly enjoyable workshop! I went to another international’s communicator’s workshop earlier this month and I must confess that I found yours to be so much more personal/intimate, friendly, and besides truly informative, to also have a wonderfully warm atmosphere. Than you for your undying patience in answering all my questions. Thank you for remaining down to earth. Most of all, l thank you for the wonderful work that you do.

– Melanie

All the information on the workshop was very valuable. The guidance, understanding and moving through our own blockages with Anna’s help and gentleness created the necessary shift for me to “go with the flow” and to connect with the animals. I loved her precision and calmness.

- Claudia

A very, very big thank you to you for coming to see us and for your wonderful feedback on my two boys. My cat is a different child!!!! He is far more relaxed, friendly and quite content to come indoors at night of his own accord about 8pm. I have not seen him spray anywhere in the house NOR in the garage like he was doing before your consultation. I have given him plenty of opportunities to be in the garage and he just walks around sniffing everything and then walks out again. I cannot believe the change.

- Ann-Gail

I had tears in my eyes whilst reading your consultation feedback as it was exactly what I experience with my animal. I shall continue with love and deep respect for my special little healing companion and trust that he will guide me further as to the best way forward. Bless you Anna for being so beautifully open to his highest self and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do in this world.

Daisy, our English Bull Terrier, is an exuberant (ADD some would say), joyous and unruly creature. She was never properly house trained as I decided to adopt a non-violent approach to training with her (not even the littlest spank). Daisy has always had a big thirst and small bladder and as a result, was inclined to have “accidents” in the house in the evenings (we keep our doors locked after dark). I soon figured out that if I took her outside to pee every hour, we could avoid the accidents. As she was usually busting for a pee by the time we went into the garden, she would immediately relieve herself and I could praise her and thus modify her behaviour.
Over the years, I stretched the time to two hours and then to three and each time we went outside she would pee on demand. Until the day – and I mean the exact day – of her fourth birthday. On 1st July this year, Daisy refused to pee when I took her outside. I tried leaving her in the kitchen alone (her worst) and then taking her out a bit later. No matter how long I left her, she would not pee when we went onto the grass. This carried on for about four days until one evening, a “thought” popped into my head. “Trust me”, said the thought. “I’m a big girl now. I’ll let you know when I need to go outside”.
Although I have done two of Anna’s courses and often do experience clear communication from animals, I don’t always trust myself. Am I getting the right message? Is that dog really talking to me? What if it’s just my imagination? This time was different. I knew absolutely and completely that the message was from Daisy. I have been trusting her (albeit with trepidation) and so far, so good! The lesson for me, I guess, is to stop doubting myself and keep a completely open mind when it comes to animals sharing their thoughts with me. They are so much more in touch with the moment than the human species.
