Animals with Steven Farmer and Thomas Brophy

Spirit animals appear in our lives in a variety of ways from real life encounters, to dreams and mystical experiences. Our guests today will explain how these profound encounters affirm our intimacy with the animal world and the realm of Spirit. Are you open to receive gifts of wisdom, guidance, protection, comfort, support, power, and even healing? We’re going to learn how to experience the magic of Spirit Animals and hopefully you will even marvel at physics and consciousness and what these kinds of stories can teach us in everyday life.
