8 LEVEL TRAINING            

In our 8 Level “Therapeutic Partnership with Animals & Nature” training, you will experience the joy of a deeper connection with the animals you already love.  And learn to relate to new species more fluently than you thought possible.  How DO you make friends with a praying mantis?  Join us to find out.  But you will know you are on the right track, if it feels great.

With Dr. Penny’s extensive medical background, it is not surprising that layers of wellness are written into the course.  Connection Medicine is an ongoing exploration into all we can be and do in harmony with all life.  The training is designed to heighten awareness and awaken win-win ways between the species. (See bottom of page for possible side effects😉.)

Get started by watching Level One for FREE. Learn 3 KEY SKILLS to supersize what is possible within “The Human-Animal Bond”. For both of you to reap rewards!  The button below will take you to the video.  Please do NOT just watch it. The video is DRY compared to how JUICY it can be if you give it a go.  Include all your nature friends. With practice, there is no end to how good it can get.

If you are eager for more after giving Level One a go, the next step is to become a member. As a member, you gain immediate access to all 8 Levels of course videos online, to study at your own pace. The Levels build on one other. It is best to practice each Level several days before moving onto the next.

There is more. This is an interactive course. We can’t wait to hear what you are discovering at home. It can be surprising how much animals (given a chance) love to contribute.  Animals are some of our most enthusiastic attendees!  Please document questions, insights, and experiences you have as you progress through home study with animal pals.  

Then let’s get together IN PERSON or E-LIVE (phone, skype, zoom). Join an event already scheduled. Or let’s cook something up in your neck of the woods! The purpose of meeting is to practice skills, dive into questions, share adventure, build good will, and awaken potential in our human-animal community.  Videos are only intended as a starting point.

Circling up together holds potential to be the most valuable part of the course. How much goodness we bring out in one another waits to be seen!  But if you listen carefully, a thunder of excitement amidst a flurry of wings, hoofbeats, and tree drums … just began.  A little special attention can bring out the best in each one of us, regardless of species. Together we can do much more than alone. 

** Membership is $89 to access all 8 levels of course videos. You are also invited to sample the joyful potential of circling up with other members E-LIVE or IN PERSON. Additional fees required for some gatherings. **

CIRCLE UP MEMBER

Is there a way to intentionally create a space for humans and animals to raise one another up, to both benefit from? YES.  By identifying key elements to bring us into connection with one another, we have a much better chance of circling up a bunch of liberty loving human-animal types to create a non-force field of positive change in the world.

Once you have completed 8 level PHASE ONE training, we invite you to stay and play at the leading edge of human-animal-nature innovation.  By applying skills learned in PHASE ONE, along with a spirit of comradery, more advanced interspecies collaboration may begin. Participate in PHASE TWO training and PHASE THREE adventures, to continue growing what is possible for you, with all!

Humans and animals can synch up to create a field that resonates beyond what anyone could do alone. Within that field, new talents are born and qualities integrated. Interactions can begin from our highest collective wisdom, instead of individual limitation. And adventure forth from there.  “The next Buddha may be the community.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Every species has a gift to contribute, just as each of us does.  The more perceptive we are, the better we can understand, value and exchange gifts.  By appreciating what another brings, one quality interaction at a time, collectively we can blossom.  What used to be a one-way-doctor-treat-patient is turning into a multi-dimensional exchange between everyone present.  When a healing circle arises, everyone (not just the patient) walks away rejuvenated.  

Connection Medicine is the ongoing study of wellness, and practice of growing it, with others.  It is beyond self-sustaining.  It is flourishing.  Together.  With escalating reward built into the practice.  It may sound too simple, but to feel great, we must feel great.  To feel better, even better.  Let’s study that.  In case you hadn’t noticed, whatever we focus on grows.  So, let’s explore deeper that which feels great.  And wider – with all species. 

Welcome to a self-perpetuating love looping all-inclusive worldwide web of living wellness. For you and your pals at home to leapfrog off. And contribute to.  Limited only by our imagination.  Fed by that which makes us come most alive.

Let’s see what we can do and be together.  One interaction at a time.  Exploring love with all life.  Until we become it.  Ad infinitum.

“We have barely begun to tap the joyful potential of the human-animal bond.  Why pop a pill?  We are surrounded with all that we need and all that we are, waiting to play a fun game.” ~ Dr. Penny

Level One: The Human-Animal Bond SUPERSIZED

Animals are good for us! Those of us who love ’em don’t need anyone to tell us that. But there is growing scientific evidence to prove just how beneficial animals are for humans – simply by hanging out together. Just imagine what might be possible by consciously cultivating a few skills. So that not only humans reap the rewards – animals can too! It is very exciting to imagine what the studies might show between human-animal teams with some training. The following 3 tips are great to begin growing the joyful potential of interactions.

How to connect deeper with animal pals

1. Take a ‘vacation attitude’. Imagine you are a visitor in a foreign land with NO idea how things are done.  Be patient and humble.  Watch closely, listen and learn.  Drop expectation and judgement.  Be open to having an enjoyable time, while discovering a new way.  Be curious.  Act like an alert detective.  Use all your senses.  Be respectful.  Let your new friend show you the customs of their land.  As a guest in their home, begin by doing it their way.  As Covey would say, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”

Healthy bonus:  Don’t take my word for how to have a wonderful vacation.  Study your best times ever.  As you do, notice that good times have more to do with your state of being, than who you are with or what you are doing.  As such, ‘vacation attitude’ is something you can practice and refine.  Meanwhile, you are releasing healthy neuro-peptides into your system.  You are practicing Mind Body Medicine.

2. Touch with heart. Think less and settle into your body more.  Move your focus from your head down to your heart area and breathe a little slower and deeper than normal.  Settle into a comfortable rhythm.  Then simply notice what you notice as you get to know your animal friend.  Sense and feel more than think and analyze.  Continue slow, deep breaths.  Relax, breathe, feel inside – that is home base.  No chit chat required.

Healthy bonus:  If we put a heart rate variance monitor on you, it would show a pattern of coherence.  This means your system is not stressed! Your body batteries are charging, and you are at peak physical, mental and emotional capacity.  When in this state, those around you having a stressful day can tap into your coherent state of being to restore their own battery.  This includes animal friends.

3. Have a two-way conversation. Have you ever been around someone talking non-stop?  Do you lose interest after a while?  Animals are the same way.  Most people constantly talk at, groom on, or teach lessons to animals.  Very few listen or receive input.  People often bombard with energy output.  It is like continually throwing a ball and never catching it.  Become a good listener.  Play catch.  Discover the resting point in the middle of output and input. Pause there.  Animals love this point.  It is where quality interactions begin.

Healthy bonus: Study how input and output feels inside you.  As you watch ocean waves move in, pause, and move out from shore, feel the difference.  As you touch an animal, do your hands talk or listen?  Is there a smooth way to switch from give to receive?  Do they propel one another?  This more effortless balanced way of relating, we call flow.  It is where reciprocal healing is possible, ∞, and everyone walks away rejuvenated.  How?  We amplify a human-animal resonance field through non-resistant focused attention.  This happens every time we “join up with” the electromagnetic field of any species in two-way conversation.

4.  Circle Up. Friends can raise each other up to do more than they ever could do on their own.  Why did you choose each other?  Is there a deeper reason for your adventure?  What discovery awaits?  Where is the magnet on your heart propelling you?  New possibilities blossom every time friends gather.  We all change and grow.  Helping each other discover our greatness is what friends are for.

Healthy Bonus:  Bring the traditional power of circle to your modern-day life.  The ancient practice of circle allows collective wisdom to emerge.  Current rapid growth in consciousness adds a quantum leap in possibilities.  When combined with the invincible love between you and your animal BFFs, it can get explosive, in a very good way.  Whether circling up with animal or human, plant or ocean … one, many or all … together we can leapfrog … discover new facets of love, power, intelligence, talents … whatever is needed … practical evolutions to current realities … beyond what we could ever do on our own.  This includes the interdepended health of us and our planet.

**WARNING DISCLAIMER** Connection Medicine is solidly rooted in >30 years’ experience in Western and other forms of medicine.  The more you practice, the more likely you and the animals in your life may experience the following side effects:  Life altering inspiration, insight, innovation, resolution of old patterns of disease as they are replaced with more vibrant ways; periods of intense personal empowerment, compassion, reverence and love of all, requiring integration down to a cellular level.  Be sure to report such side effects to your health professional or Dr. Penny immediately. 😊
