In this unique and experiential 3-hour online workshop, we will enter the rich symbolic world of animals and learn how to use animal cards.

Animals have always lived in our dreams, myths, fairy tales, and inner world. What we think and feel about animals often reflects what we think and feel about ourselves: brave as a lion, frightened as a rabbit, protective as a bear, free as a bird.

Through the language of projection, the animal world opens a doorway into emotions, memories, strengths, fears, hopes, and healing.

Using animal therapeutic cards, guided reflection, writing, and small-group sharing, participants will experience how the wisdom of animals can help us reconnect to our inner resources, creativity, intuition, and “lost magic.”

You will be guided through experiential activities that can later be used with adults, children, parents, groups, and clients.

In this workshop you will:

• Discover the therapeutic power of animal metaphors and symbolic projection
• Learn why animals appear so strongly in the unconscious, in stories, myths, dreams, and children’s inner world
• Experience 2–3 guided activities using animal cards
• Explore the difference between the animal you consciously choose and the animal that “chooses you”
• Learn practical ways to use animal cards in therapy, counselling, education, group work, and parenting
• Receive ideas for using the cards with:
  – emotions and strengths
  – family and relationships
  – fears, anger, confidence and resilience
  – working with children, adults, and groups

As Ted Andrews wrote in Animal Speak:

„when we learn to listen with “animal ears” and see through “animal eyes,” animals become guides, companions, and teachers that help us rediscover wonder, dreams, possibilities, and the forgotten magic within us.“

• Counsellors
• Teachers
