Animal Communication Training Program Overview

Click through HERE for a Visual Layout of Level Progression to Accompany Text Below

Level 1 and 2:

For the Animal Spirit training sequence in Animal Communication, there are both in-person and teleclass options for both Level 1 and Level 2 Animal Communication courses. 

The Level 2 in-person format is open to anyone who has taken a Level 1 course, in-person or via teleclass, from an Animal Spirit Network instructor or another communicator.

To qualify to take the Level 2 telecourse, you are requested to have completed a Level 1 telecourse format within the last 90 days, or alternatively, request an application for the Level 2 telecourse.  More details of the application process for the Level 2 telelcass are noted at Level 2 Teleclass.  This is to help ensure everyone's preparedness for the Level 2 teleclass format, (which varies from the in-person format), and to create an optimal long distance learning experience with the teleclass group and instructor.

Level 3:

Level 3 is comprised of topic modules.  These are primarily teleclass and online courses. 

Most are designed with no prerequisites, so you can begin to take these at any time, even before Level 1.  For those modules not already in teleclass format, they will be formatted for distance learning during 2007.  

Within Level 3, there are core requirements for the Animal Communication training sequence through Animal Spirit, but also many others available as electives to enhance knowledge and skills.  These will be helpful, whether just starting, or working as a professional, so there will be a blend of mutually supportive students at all levels participating in these modules. 

Our goal is to provide access to instructors with experience and expertise in specific areas so that you can benefit from various perspectives and approaches during your studies. 

The "Level 3" terminology is being utilized to help group these modules together under an umbrella, and to guide students going through the Animal Spirit training sequences to work towards completing the core requirements in this group of topic modules anytime prior to attending Level 4 and completing Level 5. 

Level 4:

Level 4 Animal Communication is via in-person workshop only.  Options are scheduled in both the Chicago and New York areas.  For the Animal Spirit program, you are requested to have completed approximately 75% of the Level 3 topic modules prior to attending the Level 4 in-person course.  Any remaining Level 3 core requirements which are not completed by Level 4 can be completed by a student while finishing the full training series during the final Level 5 case studies.

Level 5:

Level 5 Animal Communication is via telephone mentoring to complete the program case studies with the guidance of an ASN instructor.  Students are encouraged to begin working on case studies following Level 2, so that a portion of the case studies (4 of 12) are completed in one phone mentoring session prior to taking Level 4, and the remainder are completed in two phone mentoring sessions following Level 4. 

All 12 case studies are to be finished within 6 months of taking the Level 4 in-person course.

Additional Level 5 electives (i.e. business development courses, and other advanced topics to be added) are available via teleclass to assist with your continued personal and professional development.

At noted location (none specified at this time for 2007) you may bring an animal friend, on leash or in carrier, only if they are comfortable in strange surroundings and not a distraction to you or others. You will be able to work with other animals, so you are not obliged to bring your own.

For those students who have continued to practice telepathic communication with animals after the Basic/Level 1 Course and want more knowledge, direction, and inspiration to broaden and deepen their experience.

Relax, connect, bring to light, and shed the misconceptions that inhibit communion with our fellow beings.  Learn from the master teachers on communication with animals: the animals themselves. Explore your spiritual communion with all the kingdoms of nature, the essence of communion with domestic and wild animals, plants, minerals, the elements, and the Earth.  Intensify your awareness of the intelligence, beauty, and wisdom of all species. Travel into realms often unnoticed by humans.

Ancestral ways of honoring spirit in all life on Earth, including drumming circles, chanting, dancing and journeying for power animal guidance. Amplify your root feeling of connection, communication, and kinship with the whole web of life.

Bring photos of your animal family to the course.

Prerequisite: Basic Course with Carol or another communicator (please note who and when), a basic book on animal communication, continued practice of course skills.

Recommended: an advanced book on animal communication (i.e. When Animals Speak by Penelope Smith), books by various animal communicators, available CDs & tapes (i.e. Penelope Smith's Animal Communication Mastery Series on CD)

After taking Carol's advanced level courses on Animal Communication, we learned and grew more than we ever thought possible as the classes more than exceeded our expectations.  Carol's knowledge of the subject is amazing and her teaching techniques are very effective without intimidating the students.  The classes were focused, professional, organized, informative and conducted in a relaxed atmosphere.  After completing the courses, we did our mentoring with Carol and she gave us an incredible amount of helpful guidance from the heart with sincerity and warmth.  Carol is a natural teacher, guide and mentor!  We would highly recommend her courses, and subsequent mentoring, for anyone interested in Animal Communication.
