What We Do & Why We Do It
Our purpose is to serve and teach with the 5 C’s as a guide:
- Connection
- Communication
- Community
- Creativity
- Compassion
We recognize the power of working with animals to help humans and animals understand new ways for self-care, connection together, and, deepen trust, and to negotiate team building- with your animals as co-partners. This benefits the human-animal bond, helping harmony in households, in vet office visits, in training situations, socializing with other animals.
The benefits to negotiating conflict in new ways goes far beyond the the immediate pet partnership, and shows us how to negotiate in communities and beyond with human relationships as well in business and all areas of life.
At One Heart University we teach:
- A new range of listening skills from all senses, mind, heart and soul
- Respecting differences and perspectives
- Boundaries with respect, understanding and rapport development
- Bridging gaps from misunderstandings
- New ways to find and create cooperation and kindness
- Creating and enhancing the human-animal bond, including household harmony.
Animals are often misunderstood. Many end up in bad domestic situations and shelters.
Enhancing kindness with animals creates a better world with enhanced personal relationships with animals and within a households. This ripples out into the community and among all people.
Opening minds and the ways in which people think creates resiliency. Opening to a new perspective, like seeing life through the paws of your furry friend also opens hearts.
How you see yourself, ways you view each other, how you relate to nature all grow and evolve.
Creative solutions are more readily sought for and reached when understanding another’s perspective other than the limitations of your own viewpoint.
This is a movement that reaches far across the country and world across all divisions, to find our common ground where kindness, understanding, respect, compassion and harmony are key.
This used to be considered ‘lofty idealism’ that was out of reach and unrealistic. Now, this philosophy are ideas whose time has come. This is the trend of humanity now.
Since Covid, the world has come to new understandings of the importance of connection with self and with one another as community. We have seen the importance and need for kindness to reach across the heart and soul of all people, all species, technologies. Animals, nature and the earth itself are key.
What are all the Activities and Adventures that Happen?
There will be fun surprises and new experiences added in throughout the year.
Animal & Nature Adventures
I will take you on new animal and nature adventures to explore our extraordinary connections through our hearts and souls (virtually). These are not just scenic tours, or watching a Live Cam that is stationary. These are healing, exciting, inspiring, calming, expanding, deepening experiences.
Fun Activities for Connection
There will be FUN, get to know you and your animals activities. In these times especially, the core thing I hear people talk about is needing connection and community in ways that feel safe.
… I hear all the time from people who’ve been in groups of mine and say they keep in contact with their group, and have developed life long friendships…
… I pride myself in creating environments that feel safe, and encourage connection…you can engage as much or as little as you like.
…All classes, livestreams and adventures are recorded so you can watch later at your convenience.
Though it’s especially sweet when we connect together and get to know each other with our animals.
Monthly Holistic Care Classes for You & Your Animals
In our private group, each month you will get a focused class, and tips to support all of your family. This will be interactive so you can ask questions and receive helpful information.
Get holistic tips on issues like thunderstorm fears, to separation anxiety, to reducing stress, to a simple way to release oxytocin – the Feel Good neurotransmitter and hormone that’s sometimes called the ‘Love Hormone,’ Respiratory, digestive issues and more…
