As you begin your journey with Penelope, set the tone for grounded connection and communication with all species.

She’ll open with a drumming practice to call upon the wisdom of the ancestors and all forms of life on Earth. You’ll establish your communication foundation through the Earth in an ever-widening circle.

Connect with your fellow participant animal lovers. In breakout rooms, share your name, general history with animals, what you hope to get from this course — and if you’d like, a story of an animal that was or is a major influence in your life.

Receive Penelope’s fundamental pointers to enhance telepathic communication with all life.

Learn the barriers you may have that limit your telepathic connection with animals — and how to operate in a way that helps you successfully send and receive telepathic communication with them.

In this module, you’ll:

• Establish a grounded connection with Mother Earth as a foundation for your work over the next 7 weeks
• Widen your connection from your own animal friends to all the animals on Earth
• Feel the sacredness of telepathic communication with all species
• Learn how to refine your attitudes and behaviors to enhance your ability to communicate with animals
• Begin to connect with all species in an opening drumming circle that’s in harmony with the heartbeat of Mother Earth

Many people already communicate with animals and aren’t aware they’re doing it. Because they don’t know how it works and don’t recognize it, they don’t know how to develop their ability further.

As Penelope will explain, we’re all born with the ability to telepathically communicate and receive other species’ thoughts and feelings.

If you’re like many people, you’ve buried that ability under layers of socialization — and by prioritizing human language and analytical thinking over intuitive knowing.

Penelope will guide you in a process with a partner to learn how you have already communicated telepathically with animals and how it works for you.

You might be surprised to find that what’s blocking your ability to receive communication from animals is your fear that an animal might say something you can’t bear to hear!

Participate in an exercise to increase your acceptance of anything animals might communicate.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover how you’ve already sent and received telepathic communication with other species
• Become familiar with how telepathic communication works for you specifically
• Increase your acceptance of anything an animal might communicate — even if it’s sad or painful information
• Build on your current ability to communicate with animals
• Experience a sharing in pairs exercise with a fellow classmate — to become familiar with how you send and receive telepathic communication and increase your scope of communication with animals

Penelope will show you how to distinguish your thoughts and feelings from others so you can clearly receive other species’ communications.

She’ll guide you to use your extended, internal senses. As you’ll discover, they parallel your physical senses — except they have a finer vibration that can travel across any distance and through barriers.

Discover which telepathic sense channels are most open to you now and the specific ways you receive information.

Learn to emphasize intuitive feeling over logical, analytical thinking, using colors and your favorite places to invoke feelings, sensations, images, and thoughts.

In this module, you’ll:

• Continue to establish a solid foundation for your all-species telepathic communication
• Feel your body as a sensitive, telepathic transmitting and receiving station
• Practice several guided exercises to experience how it feels to send and receive information telepathically while in a relaxed, feeling state instead of the usual mental mode of being
• Have your extended sense perception validated by a human partner during a sharing in pairs exercise

When you understand animals and other species from their own perspectives, you facilitate compassion, understanding, and oneness with other beings.

Penelope will guide you through a potent master-level exercise to practice your direct communication ability — the same exercise experienced communicators use to get a truer and deeper understanding of animals.

As she’ll explain, the most direct and complete method of communication is to become one with the animal and experience their feelings, senses, and thoughts in union with them, rather than from a separate position.

This technique helps you minimize outside interference, the overlay of your own thoughts, and misinterpretation. It fosters communion, compassion, harmony, and oneness with other beings, whatever their species.

Apply this master-level exercise to communicate deeply with members of the plant, mineral, and elemental realms — such as trees, mountains, rivers, and landforms.

In this module, you’ll:

• Gain a different perspective on communicating with animals
• Distinguish your own thoughts and feelings from members of other species — so you can understand them and yourself even better
• Realize the variety of experiences and worldviews other species have
• Take your interspecies communication ability to a new level
• “Become” an animal and other species during a guided exercise to deepen your all-species communication

For this special module, you’re welcome to bring your own animal companion to participate in a few exercises with you, if you both feel comfortable.

You may also bring photos of animal family members and, if desired, any friends or family members’ animals to work with. (For animals other than your own, request permission from the animal’s guardian for you and students of this course to communicate with their animals.)

As Penelope will explain, it’s common to receive short, everyday communications from our animal friends.

Penelope’s approach is to build a foundation that opens you to the magic of pure, deep, transformative communication that changes your life, and the lives of members of other species.

Beyond analyzing physical behavior, expand your ability to perceive the feelings, energies, thoughts, and spiritual essence of animals.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience a peaceful state of receptiveness and feeling with all your senses
• Be guided through several exercises to become calmly present — to set aside emotional reactions, judgments, and preconceptions so you can receive telepathic communication from animals without projecting your thoughts and emotions onto them
• Remember what it’s like to enjoy full-bodied communication with all of nature
• Participate in a group communication with an animal using a photo of one or more of Penelope’s animal family, sharing what you received and getting feedback from Penelope

If you cannot imagine something exists, then it does not exist for you. You block it out or refuse to accept it.

As Penelope will explain, to successfully communicate with animals, it’s vital to be able to imagine that you can receive communication from them.

She’ll guide you through exercises in which you’ll use your imagination to enhance your communication with animals.

Discover that whenever you receive/hear/sense/imagine a communication or answer to your question, it’s important to acknowledge the animal as the source of it.

This encourages you to accept your own ability to communicate telepathically and honors the animal, facilitating further communication.

In this module, you’ll:

• Find the power of imagination to open and develop telepathic communication
• Review the tools we’ve used so far in this course to take us further
• Discover the power of acknowledgments in your communications with animals
• Practice communicating as you and a fellow participant take turns asking questions and receiving messages from each other’s animals
• Use imagination as a tool to help you be more receptive to telepathic communication with animals

In pairs, practice taking turns with each other’s animals using photos.

Gain the animal’s perspectives on challenges their person has with them — or things their person doesn’t understand about their animal companion.

You may choose to work alone with your own animal companion, asking questions about anything you don’t understand about them. Penelope can give confirmation and feedback.

Or, choose to work with members of non-animal species, such as a tree in a park, a body of water nearby, a plant in or around your home, a mountain or other land formation you’re curious about and would like to get to know better.

Ask questions about whatever you’ve observed or don’t understand about them to get their perspective.

In this module, you’ll:

• Get feedback and confirmation on what you received
• Experience how your communication ability expands when you help another person with things they don’t fully understand about their animal friend
• Feel the difference and the magic in communicating with life forms other than animals
• Complete a final exercise where you and your partner work with each other’s animals (or non-animal species)
• Receive confirmation and feedback from Penelope

How to Know If Telepathic Communication With Animals is Real
