Jake Tribute

"The animals in our lives are magnificent teachers. I would not be a professional Animal Communicator if it were not for the guidance and insistence from my very special companion dog, Jake. He told me I was going to do this professionally. He told me when it was time to teach others about animal communication through classes. He then informed me when it was time to create my apprenticeship program to develop new Animal Communicators. And, he continues to help me create new classes to meet the needs of all people. He has not only touched my heart deeply but has profoundly touched the hearts of many students. For Jake, I am eternally grateful." -Terri

"Let's Talk Animals" - An Entertaining Evening Celebrating Those We Love

Join Terri as she shares stories of wisdom learned directly from animals. Animal Communication will be explained with examples. She will also talk about how animals serve as our teachers in so many ways. In addition, helpful information will be offered that can improve the lives of the animals you love. This is a presentation, not a class. Questions will be addressed but limited due to time restraints.

"I recently attended "Let's Talk Animals!" in Denver, CO. I have used Terri's talents for several years now and was very interested in listening to her speak. What I was not ready for was how deeply she touched me and all the other attendees with her stories about animals she has met and helped. I also realized how many of these animals moms and dads she has helped. Terri has a way of real life story telling that is truly unique. It is so very apparent how much she loves what she does and how much she cares for each and every life she touches. Anyone who uses Terri's talents, or just knows of her, please take the time to attend one of her seminars. It will help you help your loved ones in ways you may not realize until you listen." -Cindy Elkind

"The spontaneity of Terri's moment-to-moment presence was compelling, joyful, and full of love. Her personal story was inviting, engaging, fun, persuasive, and for newcomers to animal communication, safe, non-threatening, and real. The many animal stories connected us with each other because, as she said, most of us there bond more with animals than with other humans. To realize that we felt similarly was supportive and allowed for the possibility to connect more easily with each other afterwards, if we chose to. Also by including folks in the audience as part of her talk, we were able to feel more associated with each other. The presentation was a great intro for the novice and affirming for the rest of us. Terri is truly a model of what the animals ask us to be." -Barb Finkelman


Let's Talk Animals 2 will be introduced in 2012 -
further details TBA.

 

"You Want Me To Do What?
- Cooperative Accomplishments With Your Animals"

During this 3 hours we will explore why animals behave the way they do and what you can do to help them improve on behaviors. This, of course, includes what to do to improve on the human behaviors as well! There will be opportunities to bring your specific questions for animals at home to be used as examples for discussion. THIS CLASS IS NOT A "HOW TO TALK TO THE ANIMALS" class so no experience is necessary in that realm.

"Remember me saying during the class that my dogs jumped on folks at the door? And, I also said that I really was not that concerned about it. And you said that they took their cues from me, etc?

Well, what I didn't say in class was this. I had reached out to Mac and Axel at the beginning of class to ask them if they wanted to listen in. They did want to and they apparently listened pretty carefully. Because now, every so often, someone says to me , "wow, this is the first time your dogs didn't jump on me when I came in". The first time was a couple of days after the class!!!" -Fran Blum

"When I first heard Terri was doing a show on KGOAT radio, let's just say I was skeptical about what she did. But after hearing the show I was interested. Now three years later and after several sessions with Terri and our dogs, I decided to take the beginner's class to try to learn myself. The class was so enjoyable I was sorry to see it end. Now I'm looking forward to the intermediate class!" —John O'Brien

"I am so glad I took your Level 2 class. I wasn't sure what I would learn, but the experience was exhilarating! I am amazed at what I learn each time I interact with our animal friends. They truly are our teachers, as well as our companions and our healers. The opportunity to have had a Wildlife Center share their inhabitants with us, was incredible. I am so thankful to you for sharing your gift with me and showing me how I too can communicate with our two and four legged friends. This whole process has touched my heart, and I'll never be the same. I feel so blessed!" -Pam Ward

IRELAND - In Search of the Sacred

Next dates TBA - Contact Terri to be on the waiting list.
A journey to enlighten, enrich and nourish your soul!

Terri O'Hara, Animal Communicator, will be the Guest Speaker during this cultural and mystical tour. This unique vacation offers you the opportunity to connect with the ancient spiritual energies at various sacred sites in Ireland, along with exploration of animal communication and animal spirituality. This exciting cooperative effort between Terri O'Hara and Body Mind Spirit Journeys offers a transformative journey of outer adventure and inner exploration.

This fun adventure will be enhanced by our Celtic and Shamanic guide, Amantha Murphy. She started her spiritual work publicly 32 years ago as a clairvoyant and moved on to trance mediumship. She works with both individuals and groups, at home in Ireland and internationally.

This well-organized tour will provide you with necessary travel reservations, accommodations with breakfasts and many other meals, and transportation throughout the tour. The group size is very limited in order to provide you with a quality traveling experience and spaces are likely to fill quickly. This trip is for those who believe in the magical and mystical aspects of life. Dreamers, like you, who dream of far off places, forgotten by time, but where spirit so visibly resides. We invite you to open your heart, your mind and all of your senses to the healing of the sacred sites and the wisdom of all animals.
