"I remember Kristin saying in the first class that we would be different people by the end of these six weeks. I wasn't entirely sure what she meant, but now that it's over - it's true! The teleclass gave me the opportunity to finally try to communicate with animals, and with the positive support from the entire group and a safe haven to practice, I began to gain confidence in my ability to do this. As the weeks passed, I noticed how differently I was starting to look at, well, everything! All the animals, the entire world and our roles within it. I also feel more content with myself and my surroundings. There's a kind of inner glow, the same glow of love and peace that comes from an especially amazing connection with an animal that I am now able to carry with me and help me with day to day life. So, Thank You, to everyone involved!" Catherine A.

I also realy liked her comment about how you want to be remembered as someone people remember as experiencing a good time. That is really sound and true."

"It was wonderful to connect with Dawn on the call not only because of the information, but energetically. I've got all her books and knew her from yahoogroups AC groups, but it was so nice to connect with her real time on the phone! I actually think this (shapeshifting) is a great way to tap into how an animal is feeling--and also as a healing method (e.g. to bring in feelings of peace and wellbeing and then shapeshift merging with an animal to bring those qualities to the animal, say before a vet visit...)" Sue T.

"I loved all the exercises that broadened my perspective, such as including a touch of shamanism (when we identified our power animals).

The classes provided me with an opportunity to explore and express that important (spiritual) side of me that everyday life often does not allow."Vicki B.

"This class was a wonderful experience of discovery, heightened understanding, and most of all purifying connection and presence. This class most definitely improved the skills already worked on in the previous levels, as well as went so much deeper into the "connection" and one's interpertation of that connection." Donna G.

"This class taught me so much about myself. I grew in so many ways and the class not only gave me practical skills in how to communicate with animals, but also how to deal with myself. These skills can be used in so many ways...in our everyday life and with our professional communications with animals and human clients."Rachel M.

"Kristin is patient, clear and very understanding. She knows just what's needed and when it's needed. The B&B was fabulous making the experience comfortable and easy to get into & stay in the flow of information. The class size made it possible to really work together effectively."Wende L.

"The B&B was a wonderful place to have the course and allowed us to socialize and share ideas and feelings outside of class time."Evelyn G.

"Piper's Village Inn was a lovely, comfortable, warm, inviting environment that supported our class instruction."Lois K.

"This workshop week was excellent. Kristin is a fabulous teacher. I learned so much about myself and becoming present. The location worked perfectly..very comfortable. The nature and environment around us was beautiful. The workshop really reached beyond my expectations."Rachel M.

"Kristin knew so much about this experience and what we all needed.  We learned about ourselves, our emotions and judgements, and how this would effect our work in animal communication.  After it is over there is a feeling of what do I do with this new life now.  It changes how you look at everything." Mary S.

"I adore Kristin and everything that she knows and her way of being and teaching.  She has a real gift and deep knowledge and commitment.  Thank you for a wonderful experience!" Barbara N.

"Having the opportunity to participate as an apprentice in the Animal Communication Class was a wonderful experience! I learned the subtleties of guiding the students to a place of self confidence in communicating with animals. Learning to work with the animals and let them determine the direction of the interaction between the students and the animals was invaluable." Linda E.

"Apprenticing with Kristin Thompson to teach the Level I Basic Animal Communication Course was an integral part of my growth both as an animal communicator and as a teacher of animal communication. Teaching my first course was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Kristin provided the necessary support and tools that I needed to be able to teach this course to my own students. My confidence in my ability to convey the course material increased greatly after beginning my apprenticeship. I believe that apprenticing with Kristin would be a valuable experience for any teacher of animal communication that I would highly recommend!" Anne A.

"This is a good intro to the Shamanic views and I am glad I took it." Julie K.

"This was my first class. I was in awe of the topic." Marie

"The course met all my expectations & more. It was very well presented with an abundance of knowledge. The journeying session was very clear to do & the drumming was helpful. Thank you, it was all awesome!" Joanne

"This is a very informative class and Carla is very passionate and enthusiastic about teaching." Terra K.

SH102

"That the class prepares one very well step-by-step to create a strong base for the infinite knowledge of Shamanic journeying (because one really doesn't know what to expect when starting out)."

"Great experience. It was fun and informative. Although it was a beginning class, it was still challenging and interesting.  While this course covers all the basic information, it progresses rapidly and intuitively. Carla presents a wide range of information, which is limited only by your ability to assimilate it." Christa M.

"I highly recommend this teleclass. I would also recommend taking an in-person class with Carla, if possible."

"This class exceeded my expectations. It was pretty life altering. I found it moving to actually experience my power animal bears and Raven spirit and not just intellectually know I "had" power animals and what they were and a "meaning" for them but get to know them as real beings with personalities. Carla is a wonderful and kind spiritual teacher and refreshingly down to earth as well as wise." Sue T.

"This class was packed with far more information and experience than I expected. It was really personally transforming, and put me firmly on the path of shamanism. The type of exercises (both in class and homework) that Carla introduced me to were really great experiences that I can continue with outside of this class. She gave us great tools to move forward with and continue to learn. Many thanks to Carla (and the spirits) for having the wisdom to make this class so "interactive" with the spirits." Patrice S.

"This class went well beyond what I expected to learn.  It is changing my life, healing and enabling me into spaces and realms I never imagined existed. Carla and the material she presents are exceptional.  Carla is real, and down to earth, and flexible and quick to respond in the healthiest, most beneficial way that meets the students' needs." Ericka C.

SH055

"I found the class to be very enlightening. It was easy to understand and easy to learn. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to reach places and worlds I thought were only for others. I'm excited to continue to go deeper as I think shamanism is a most valuable way to reach spirit guides, spirit teachers, and angels of every kind. Carla is very knowledgable and patient. Every question was answered in a way that all could understand. I could only hope to reach the level of connection she has with this incredible gift." Bonnie S.

"Taking Carla's class was and continues to be a great gift in my life. It is a wonderful treat to be guided by Carla, who is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and always able to answer my questions. She brings a sweet sense of humor along for the journey, also! Thank you, Carla, for introducing (or, as it feels, re-introducing) me to the way of the Shamans, which I was searching for so long. I am looking forward to the next steps or flights along this path!" Janey D.

"This course more than fullfilled my expectations! The information, sharing and personal experiences were much more than I had expected. It is an overview, review, preparation for further study, and/or taste of what can be to come. I am really shocked at the progress I made in three short weeks." Beth H.

"Very personal and individual insights, excellent motivation and leading qualities. It got me really started on my personal journey in the shamanic ways. I recommend this class to everyone interested in understanding what shamanic journeying is about." Ivonne S.

"I enjoy very much Carla's blend of extensive learning experience, clarity, and sense of humor. I feel like she really wants us to understand and get it. I haven't always felt like that with other teachers or guides. This experience will help you grow exponentially!" Janey L

"Thank you, Carla, for your help! This is so inspiring and I love it. It has opened up a whole new world for me. Can't wait to keep going with this work, and will be in the Level 1 teleclass through ASN in September. I'm looking forward to session three of this On Demand class, and next going to the Upper World." Mary C.

SH114

"Larry gave a very clear, well-thought-out overview. The material covered was fascinating and I learned more than I would have thought possible in an hour and a half. I really enjoyed learning the breathing technique for building mana, and the exercise for redistributing responsibility to the upper and lower selves. I think both are tremendously helpful and so easy to do!" Marya G.

SH201

"This was empowering and inspiring.  I enjoyed the informal presentation which made it more like a chat between friends than a lesson.  Many thanks for the opportunity!

"I loved every aspect of this call! The stories, the tangents, the community!"

"Excellent coaching call with lots of information. It helped me a lot to overcome the problem of going deeper in the journey. Carla is so professional, and the best at what she does!"

"I signed up more out of curiousity than anything else and got far more encouragement than I'd expected. Carla's familiarity with the subject is so refreshing.  It was a pleasure to hear someone matter-of-factly discussing the kind of experiences that so many people around me consider to be to woo-woo, to be real. I needed that validation!"

"A great time for Q&A about a specific area of shamanic study. I found that I had a lot of questions, and Carla answered them thoroughly."

"To expand your knowledge of intrusions, you must take this class with Carla. Carla has a special personality which makes learning fun. I find that she is able to explain things so that I can understand them easily. She is very gifted and knowledgeable, and helps us apply that knowledge to our everyday lives."

SH202

"I'm so excited to be taking the classes you offer through ASN. It is truly a blessing to have access to teachers who have integrity, knowledge, and humility. Thank you, Carol, for putting these programs together. I would encourage anyone who feels called to the sacred world of shamanism to take Carla Meeske's course. I am honored and humbled by her teachings and by her respect for our Spirit Guides, Teachers and Power Animals. This is by far the best course I have ever taken (and believe me, I have been searching for a long time)." Brenda S.

"Carla is the best. Not only does she know her stuff, but she clearly puts a lot of effort into designing the curriculum.   I love that each class teaches specific skills and builds on what came before.  Carla is knowledgeable, experienced and an excellent instructor. She makes us work!  You'll definitely come out of this class with skills and knowledge."

"I was amazed at what we were able to do in a teleclass - the Spirit Canoe work in particular." Dawn W.

"It was a really cool class because it was a group of similarly focused women, very safe space, very experiential. We learn as much from each other as from Carla and learn there are different ways and no "wrong" way to experience Spirit." Sue T.

"I learned so much in this class! The work we did was awesome. I thought Carla did a great job of teaching it. Carla was able to help each of us with our questions and gave us lots of new insights." Lyn B.

"I was concerned that this class would not live up to my expectations since I like the in-person classes better, but I was not disappointed with Carla's class. I think it was excellent." Carol M.

GS101

"This was an amazing experience, and beyond my expectations. I've never done a teleclass before, and being able to communicate with others, especially about grief, and not just online, made it that much more impactful. There was love, compassion, respect, and patience. This was lovingly uplifting thru the most painful thing I've ever had to deal with, providing insight and light."Marlene B.

"This class was amazing on so many levels. Teresa is compassionate and knowledgable, and gave such insight into the issues of struggle. I am realizing on a new level that the love never ends, and that the animals who have departed continue to feel their connection with us forever."Barbara N.

"I realized after last night that I could be doing a lot more to support myself, my clients and my students with respect to grief support skills."Dawn W.

"Teresa is wonderful. Her voice is so soothing and comforting, and the information is practical and useful. The content is clinically accurate, and consistent with current research on grief. She is such a valuable resource for all of us in the bereavement field! Thank you so much for offering this to the public free of charge ~ such a precious gift. Priceless, actually :-)"Marty T.

"It's a challenge to provide in-depth infomration on such a profound subject in one hour, but Teresa did a very organized presentation that provided basic guidelines, as well as interesting cases. She presented it in a way that is empowering."Ximena D.

"I really had no idea of what to expect, but I was impressed with the material and learned things I had not even considered. It is very interesting to see that Teresa is at the forefront of changing the way animal loss is supported. Our loss and pain is real, and there are wonderful things we can do to help ourselves. Teresa is very compassionate, and beautifully shared new ways of thinking and healing."Linda F.

"Teresa was wonderful! I am going through the grief process and this was very helpful! Teresa has a very warm energy as she shares the information. A supportive way to begin to understand how we can turn our grief into a wonderful lesson and legacy for our loved one!" Sheila L.

"The class exceeded my expectations. Teresa is so real and able to honor and acknowledge both the terrible pain and grief, and also the possibility of working through this. I felt comforted and less alone. It was touching to hear other people talk about their experiences. I felt that my pain was being honored, and am grateful how Teresa shared that this grief holds the possibility of hope."Sonja L.

GS102

"Teresa is so gentle and kind in her delivery. And the stories that she shared were beautiful. I can listen to her on a soul level and grow." Toni P.

"I wasn't really expecting anything from this class, I was just curious. I ended up enjoying the classes very much and came away with a lot of helpful information and a lot to think about. Teresa presented the material very well. I also liked how she asked people in the class to relate their personal experiences, and the opportunity after class to hear everyone's perspectives." Jeanine G.

"Teresa's choices what to share of the animal perspectives were great. They were a combination of affirming, reassuring, heartwarming, and perspective shifting. I could feel Teresa's thoughtfulness and gentle presence, which is so wonderful to be with. I also enjoyed being with a group of like minded people."Julie L.

"So satisfying, confirming and enlightening." Judy T.

"Teresa is a wonderful teacher, and the class was as spiritual as I expected. I truly enjoyed envisioning the others in the group, and knowing that we all came together to share this moment for ourselves, and of course for the animals. It was a privilege and an honor to attend."Linda W.

"I really enjoyed the class, I learned new information and feel very reassured about facing the death of not only my pets, but other loved ones as well." Lori H.

"I felt very fulfilled and grateful after hearing Teresa's shared stories. Teresa is a wonderful role model as an animal communicator and also her gentle and encouraging way of being in the world inspires me to become softer and kinder as I embrace each day.  I value the information Teresa shared in this teleclass from her years of experience in this field. I truly admire her particular style in speaking with the animals that have crossed over and their people and in creating such a safe and loving arena for all concerned." Judy W.

"What an incredibly satisfying journey Teresa has taken us on during this teleclass. Her gentle presentations of her client’s stories lead me through a range of emotions – from laughter, to tears, to quiet reflection. I am richer and wiser for having taken this class, and yet I am deeply humbled by the profound wisdom and unconditional love of our beloved animal companions. I understand more clearly, now, that the best and most beautiful things in this life cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart. The class exceeded my expectations."Davidene T.

"I LOVE Teresa, she just makes everything so easy even in a difficult situation. I look forward to more classes of hers." Dana L.

"With the use of real stories from her client base, Teresa presented a comforting view of death from the animal's perspective. Her wealth of experience as an animal communicator and her use of clients' stories helped keep the presentation real. The pace and organization of her presentation was exactly right." Kath Q.

"Thanks for having this class that addressed questions many of us were wondring within ourselves. "Tina T.

"Teresa has a fantastic ability to take thought-provoking topics and present them in a straightforward fashion. Her ability to mix humor into her presentation of the mysteries of souls coming to and leaving earth is outstanding! She paces content and delivers it at an appropriate level for all to understand. Responds well to questions posed."Davidene T.

GS104

"Teresa did a wonderful job at providing very detailed information in a useable format that I could understand and apply." Lori W.

"Teresa did a wonderful job of giving us examples of how to be supportive of another and at the same time taking care of our own needs. This was thought provoking, deep, engaging, and encouraging. I got to know myself better as well as learned new skills to help others. Teresa is obviously very experienced in the area of counseling and in grief support. I couldn't imagine a better teacher!"

"I would highly recommend this class for anyone searching for ways to be there for persons going through grief, not just over the loss of their animal." Jan E.

"Teresa was so loving and compassionate in her delivery. A true role model for all of us.  I eagerly looked forward to each and every class. " Penny P.

"I feel so much more confident to help someone thru a loss and to deal with some of my own grief I've buried. I would highly recommend this class." Terra K.

"All sessions were extremely enjoyable and informative. It was a privilege to listen to Teresa speak on this subject. Her compassion, empathy, sensitivity and beautiful energy came across vividly, and served to remind me that the most important thing in this work is not the words, tools and techniques used, but the genuine heartfelt caring expressed. Handouts were fabulous! Well presented, and lots of clear, concise, thought-provoking useful info." Pat S.

"This class should be required for life!!  Huge amount of wonderful information to help you be a sensitive and loving person for someone who is experience loss.   This was one of the best classes I took through ASN yet. " Penny P.

"Fascinating, relaxing, positive." Susan W.

"I've already told friends about it. I was impressed that we created essences 'from scratch'". Lisa K.

"A good base class, incorporating basic hands-on mixing." Nancy G.

"VERY useful! Linda knows her subject thoroughly, is clear in her explanations, has suggestions for further reading, and is easily accessible for questions. The extended time of this teleclass format, compared to an 8 hour live in-person class, allows for integration of the lesson and surfacing of questions between class meetings. It also allowed students to participate who might not otherwise be able to do so. This class works VERY well as a teleclass. I loved being part of this!" Holly W.

"Linda is fantastic! This was a great class!" Ellen L.
