This 9-day Renewal Retreat takes place at my private farm in sunny Santa Clarita, California. There, you’ll be welcomed by my entire animal family, yours truly, and a roomful of future friends. In the comfort of my sanctuary, we explore the knowledge you seek in a space that fosters growth, honesty, and collaboration at the deepest level. We’ll also change things up and go exploring on sanctuary field trips and facility tours in the Animal Communication and Energy Healing in Sanctuaries workshop.

The Spring Renewal Retreat kicks off with

• Beginning to Advanced Animal Communication Workshop: April 5th-7th

• Animal Communication and Energy Healing in Sanctuaries: April 11th-13th
