Animal Communication workshop

with internationally recognised
South African Animal Communicator, Wynter Worsthorne,

In support of Tropical Zoo.

Wynter Worsthorne has been working as a professional animal communicator in the UK and South Africa for the last 10 years. Wynter teaches people how to communicate effectively with our animal companions in order to help make the lives of the animals and the humans they live with more harmonious. Her workshops also reveal how we are all able to intuitively understand what individual animals are feeling and how to see the world through their eyes.

Two one-day interactive workshops will be held at the Tropical Zoo in Brentford, a non-profit organisation working as a sanctuary for rescued, exotic animals. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the sanctuary.

Wynter works actively with a number of wildlife organisations in South Africa and is dedicated to supporting those projects who are helping to protect and care for all animals. The projects she is most involved with are the Global White Lion Protection Trust who are successfully re-introducing the technically extinct White Lions into their endemic homeland; Drakenstein Lion Sanctuary; Baboon Matters Trust and Dolphin Care Africa.

Aside from the wildlife work that she is so passionate about, Wynter still has a deep involvement with domestic animal issues. Her one and two day workshops are very much focussed in the domestic arena. She is intent on sharing her knowledge and experience of communicating with all animals, in order for people to start understanding their beloved animal companions on a deeper level.

Information:

Date: 25^th and 26^th May 2011 (2 one-day workshops)

Time:          9:30am (for 10am) - 5:00pm

Place:         The Tropical Zoo
