Workshops and Classes

Update:  

Dear friends, my dear Monty dog is nearing the end of this life.  Rather than collaborating with Hana to teach this course in April as we had planned, I am spending every moment with Monty, navigating this sacred end-of-life journey with him.  I am sending so much love to all of you walking this journey with your own beloved animal soulmates, teachers, and guides.  With much love, Andrea & Monty

I am deeply honored and excited to be collaborating with Hana Makinen of End and After Animal Communication (www. endandafter.com) to offer an expanded live online workshop designed to help open up deeper levels of communication with your beloved animal as you move through anticipatory grief with presence.
 

Hana and I are offering the Embracing Deeper Connections (EDC) workshop twice this year—once in April and again in October. This year, we’ve added another layer of depth to enhance your experience.

This April, join us for the live-taught, 5-week EDC workshop—a tender journey designed to help you navigate the unique challenges of your animal's aging, illness, diagnosis, and end-of-life care with more presence, compassion, and understanding.

Many of us feel overwhelmed by our fears and emotions when we are faced with our beloved animal's aging, illness, or suffering.  It can feel like these emotions displace our ability to be present and available to give all the love that we want to share with them when they need it the most.  I say this from the heart:  I know what you are going through.  Because I'm going through it too.  Monty is 14 1/2 years old.  What a gift!  He has heart arrythmia, and he has cancer.  How can I continue to enjoy every moment, and help him to enjoy every moment, without being overwhelmed with worry and anticipatory grief?  It's a personal growth journey for me, and it's a practice, and it's messy and I am not perfect.  But that is the journey.  Each journey is unique, but Hana and I are there to help guide and support you.  

We began developing this course in 2023 and began teaching in early 2024.  Participants have consistently told us that it has transformed their experience and helped them.  And that that is why we continue to teach this course, and to expand and improve it to meet the needs that we see.  In 2025, we’re introducing weekly live Lab sessions to enhance opportunities for support and practice.  These 60-90-minute interactive sessions will give you dedicated time to practice somatic exercises, explore tools and techniques from the main classes, ask questions, and receive personalized support. You’ll leave each session with the tools to turn your insights into meaningful actions, strengthening the bond with your beloved companion during this challenging time.

A second workshop offering will be available in mid-October so you can join this heart-centered experience at another time.

Course participants describe the workshop experience as "transformative" and "life-changing".  We have been deeply gratified to support this group of loving, open-hearted people and their beloved animals as they navigated their sacred journeys together.
