454.0. "Commun. with Animals" by ISLNDS::URBAN () Wed Dec 09 1992 12:17

    I saw an interesting "Evening Talk" listed in my Interface catalog
    called "Communicating with Animals" that I might be interested in going
    to as well as maybe some of you other animal lovers.  The speaker is
    Penelope Smith and the following is the ad in the catalog:
    
    Even as a child, Penelope Smith never fantasized about what it would be
    like if her pets could talk to her; like Doctor Doolittle, she just
    paid attention and they did--telepathically.  Ms. Smith is an animal
    telepath, the author of "Animal Talk: Interspecies Telepathic
    Communication, now in its third printing, and she says anyone can do
    what she does.  She will talk tonight about how animals communicate,
    what prevents people from receiving their messages, and what she has
    learned about animals--from their problems and needs to their emotional
    and spiritual nature.  Join her, bring your wildest questions, and
    learn how to enhance your relationships with other species.
    
    Penelope Smith lives in Point Reyes, CA where she has a private
    practice as an animal telepath.  She is the author of "above," and is
    now working on a second book.

    Blurb on the Interface Wellness Center:
    
    Interface is an education center founded in 1975 to explore those
    trends in health, personal growth, science and religion which excite
    and encourage us to seek new ways of living, expand personal horizons,
    and join with others to help create a better world.  We are
    particularly interested in the work people are doing on the borderlines
    between major disciplines--between physical and mental health, between
    science and religion, and between psychology and spirituality.  Our
    focus, then, is on health for the whole person, body, mind, and spirit,
    and our activities consist of lectures, courses, workshops and
    conferences presented by an international faculty which we bring
    together each season at our center in Cambridge, MA.
    
    FYI:  I have never attended an Interface class or have ever been there
    myself, but they have a lot of interesting classes in their catalog. 
    It's in Cambridge by the Alewife T-stop.  If you want to call to join
    the class, or get a catalog yourself, call 617-876-4600.
    
    Oh, and feel free to post this in other "Animal" notesfiles if you
    like.

Just thought I'd let you know that I saw a television program on her (I believe
that it was on cable, i.e. PBS) and it was VERY interesting. They had a horse
that wouldn't eat - at all. After a little communicating, she claims to have
learned what was wrong, had a little chit chat and the horse started to eat
again.

There was a cat with a biting problem, that she apparently helped to correct.

From what I saw on tv I would recommend the lecture, I believe it would be
entertaining at the very least.

Wish I was in the area so I could go.
