ANIMAL
HEALING WORKSHOP
1 Day Workshop
A workshop to gently mobilise the healing powers within the body itself.
We learn how to tap into the divine life force energy which is then channelled
from the healer to the receiver (animal), to wherever it is most needed.
We take a look into animal behaviour and communication and how useful
this is when applying healing to a variety of animals.
A very empowering, uplifting day.
(A certificate of attendance
is awarded at the end of the workshop).
