Did you know that animals can be our guides and teachers? Have you ever felt a special connection to a certain animal? In this fun and exciting class, we’ll explore the world of Power Animals—special animal friends that bring us wisdom, strength, and guidance! Some people even call these animal guides Earth Angels because they watch over and protect us.

• Learn what a Power Animal is and how they help us
• Discover how animals communicate with us in magical ways
• Meet some of your animal guides through stories and activities
• Learn simple ways to connect to them for greater personal growth

Diana invites each child to bring a picture, a stuffed animal, or toy of an animal they admire. It can be big or small, real or mythical — even a dinosaur! During the session, each child will connect with one of their animal spirit guides and discover the wisdom and protection they offer.

Come play, explore, and uncover the magic of Animal Wisdom! Class is open to ages 7 – 12. Pre-registration is required.
