NEW Upcoming E-Course!
Kindred: A Deep Exploration of Human-Animal Relations
Live 8-Part Zoom Video Series
In this 8 part Zoom-style course, join me, Nate Summers, on a deep immersion into the world of animal-human relations and connections!
​​
During the course, we will cover topics such as Animal Synchronicities, Clan/Family/Ancestral Animal Affiliations, Dreaming and Animal Connection, Intuitive Tracking, Animal Communication, Animal Omens, and so forth. All of the teachings will be presented in a holistic way and there will be plenty of storytelling, questions and answers, reflections, feedback, and opportunities to share. Classes will combine big group time, presentation, small group work, and individual exercises. Each week participants will be given multiple take-home exercises to deepen their connection to nature and start with their own Intuitive Tracking journey. Ultimately, this course will provide a foundation to deepen your own path in these arts for the rest of you life.

All classes will be recorded and available for your viewing convenience!

Along the way we will have a couple of sessions with two guest instructors: expert tracker, visionary, and author Jon Young, and energy healer, tracker and interspecies communicator Sarah Fontaine. (Jon will join us for one session and Sarah will join for one as well)
