Sunday, May 4, 2014, 2-4 pm – Communicating with Animals … by Terri Diener

By Ann in Events at the Lodge, Featured Event

Have you ever wondered what your animals are thinking? Do you ever wish you could get inside their heads to really know what that “look” means?  Well, you can. They have strong opinions about themselves, their lives, and us.  They will happily tell us – if we’ll only ask.
Terri Diener has been practicing animal communication since the mid-90s, and has helped countless animals and their human companions to better understand each other. In this presentation you’ll learn the basics of animal communication – and even have a chance to briefly practice connecting telepathically with your own animals.
Terri is the author of The Pets Speak. Copies of her book will be available at the talk. Terri’s website is http://www.petspeak.com/  Petspeak

Carl Brashear is determined to be the first African American Navy diver in a time where racism is rife. Leslie Sunday is his embittered trainer, determined to see him fail. Fate, challenges and circumstances eventually draw these two men together in a tale of turbulence and ultimately triumph.” (quoted from http://www.imdb.com) Carl is played by Cuba Gooding Jr.;  Sunday by Robert De Niro.
