My Animal Communication week with Anna Twinney

by Dawn Baker, Minneapolis, Minnesota

I am filled with gratitude after spending an extraordinary week at Anna's animal communication workshop at the Bitterroot Ranch.  The world of animals and humans is a better place because Anna is in it.  Her work is so important for all of us and I hope that more people learn about it and support it.

 I have loved my own animals so much and have sought help for them from animal communicators but never had the confidence to believe I could communicate accurately with them myself.  Anna skilfully and compassionately took a group of people who were new to each other through exercises that challenged their doubts and uncovered abilities that they didn't know they had. 

The environment was warm, deep, safe, powerful, humorous, fun, emotional, and illuminating.  I felt very connected to the people in the workshop and will never forget how much we all shared, how vulnerable we were but how right it all felt.  Anna is a teacher with great integrity and conviction and her passion is contagious. 

I flew halfway across the country to come to this workshop without knowing the people or the place and will remember it as a remarkably positive and life changing experience.  Thank you so much for what you do for us and the animals.

Here are my (Michaele’s) thoughts:

I have always known that animals reflect our inward emotions, but my “lightbulb” moment came during the Animal Communication Clinic when I realized how well they teach us lessons about ourselves – our character, our intentions, and our feelings.   If we want to understand the challenges and successes that we face in life, we have only to see how our animal companions respond to us.  With unconditional love, they hold up a mirror and ask only that we only look into it to find the answers for ourselves.  And if we can be as true to ourselves as they are to one another,  we can find our inner peace.   

Here are his (Chris’s) thoughts:

Despite having a lifetime of varied experiences and a moderately open attitude to new ideas, the Animal Communication Clinic made me realize that I have been living in a shell.  In the closed room of my mind I wished that I could communicate with the other creatures that we share the planet with, but it just never seemed possible.  Through the clinic I have learned that there really is the opportunity to “reach out to horses” and other animals alike, and that they welcome the opportunity to communicate.  Even though the clinic only helped me take the first tentative steps down this path, it did open a doorway to experiences that I never thought possible.  As a result, I have developed a whole new level of respect for the animals in my life.  As I move farther into this world, I am sure I will experience the pleasure of “connecting” with special animals, as well as dealing with their vanity, frustrations and health concerns.  Thank you, Anna, for being a wonderful guide into this fascinating world.
