Animal Communication: The Practical and the Mystical
Join animal communicator Kristen Houser and Naturalist Cedar Mathers-Winn for a fun exploration into our relationship with wolves and the greater animal family.
Kristen communicates with animals telempathically, meaning she can feel what they feel. Additionally receiving messages, images, insights and memories as she connects with them on a soul level. All the while translating these exchanges into human language so the conversation may continue as an interspecies, two-way dialogue.
Cedar studies communication between animals as an ecologist and naturalist. He did his Master’s work on animal communication under Dr. Erick Greene, a contemporary pioneer in the field. Cedar has studied songbird communication and behavior in tropical northwestern Australia and western Montana.
Together Cedar and Kristen will lead us through an exploration and discussion covering a broad scope of ideas and perspectives around animal communication ranging from the mystical to the practical. Whether you are fully immersed in the language of energy and more subtle forms of communication, or your lens of understanding comes from a purely scientific perspective, this workshop is designed to explore both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. All that it requires is an open mind and a desire to explore new possibilities of connection between species.
The Mystical: Kristen will lead us into an exploration of wolf, their medicine, and our intertwined mythologies. In a space of remembered connection and activation, widening our relationships with predators in general and how they inform/reveal our unique roles as human stewards. An opportunity to jump into what can often feel like the paradoxical mud when it comes to the purpose of predators. Real-time dialoguing (telepathically) with the wolves and their predator peers about how to scratch at the surface and exhume what lies beneath, all the while restoring more of our interspecies kinship and learning how we can best be helpful to each other.
The Practical: Through examples, exercises, journaling, and discussion, Cedar will guide participants in interpreting and getting familiar with the signals that animals use to communicate with each other, with us, and with other species on the landscape. Though we may rarely notice, wild animals are trying to communicate with us constantly. The knowledge he presents can lead to a powerful sense of connection, understanding, and empathy for your local deer, squirrel, or crow.
Workshop Structure: Each 2-hour session will be introduced by either Cedar or Kristen or both and will begin with sharing ideas that guide participants into the realm of either spiritual/philosophical forms of communication, or scientific observation. This initial “lecture” will then be open for discussion. Suggested reading materials will be provided for further exploration between sessions as well as prompts and guidance on how to enter into dialog with animals either from close observation and nature journaling or through inner promptings that evoke a more subtle form of communication. These promptings may present in your dreams or meditations, or even a greater knowing that presents itself spontaneously through a look from your own dog or an encounter in the wild. This will be a judgment-free space where we can explore these ideas from a place of curiosity and mutual respect.
When: Wednesday evenings, September 14, 21, and 28, 6-8 pm (Mountain Standard Time)
Where: Online via zoom.
About Cedar:
Cedar has been a number of things in his life - an ethnomusicologist, field biologist, archivist, musician - but animal communication has always been his most profound interest and passion. First captivated by Jon Young's lectures on bird language, he has studied wild birds around the world, worked at the world's largest animal sound archive at Cornell, and completed a Master's degree at the University of Montana studying the alarm behavior of chickadees and nuthatches. He has published on animal communication in both scientific journals and the popular press, and has been consulted as an expert for pieces on the radio and in print. He is well-versed in the scientific perspective on animal communication, and looks forward to bringing that perspective to this workshop!
About Kristen:
Kristen began remembering her ability to communicate with the animal kingdom in 2015. Her teachers ranged from lineaged human communicators to matriarch orca to wildflowers to Tibetan yaks dwelling in the foothills of her Kentucky home. Her curiosity and heart for this field of connection has only grown since, blossoming into her wildest dream. Every day the vision she held in her heart since childhood comes true: to speak and be friends with the animals.
The animals (fauna) prompted Kristen to explore further applications of telepathy, the nature of energy, and other senses that were dormant. She witnessed that regenerative growth is a patiently nurtured seedling. And that many of the solutions we seek, from conservation to connection, are available to us when seeking them from a place of relationship. She now lives beside the Salish Sea, home to such inspiring beings; from curious selkie seals to the orca who have been her guiding light all along. More at faunaspeak.com
