Communicate and Feel the Love that Never Dies

A recorded online class with Penelope Smith
Sponsored by Infinity Foundation, 2025

Facing the death of an animal friend is one of the most heart-wrenching challenges we encounter. Penelope Smith—pioneer of interspecies telepathic communication—guides you through this sacred passage with the wisdom she has gained from decades of communicating with animals through life, death, and beyond.

In this recorded class, you’ll discover how to recognize when animals are ready to let go, how to support them in their transition, and what they experience after leaving their bodies. You’ll explore reincarnation, learn how to know if your animal will return, and find ways to reconnect.

Through a guided exercise, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers directly from an animal in spirit, opening the door to personal insights and healing.

This class helps release guilt and regret so you can feel the eternal connection that unites you and your animal companions—beyond time, space, and physical form.

Communicating with Animals You Fear

A recorded online class with Penelope Smith
Sponsored by Infinity Foundation, 2024

Step beyond your comfort zone and discover the hidden wisdom of animals you may have avoided, feared, or overlooked.

Most people begin their journey in animal communication with beloved companions such as cats and dogs. But what happens when you open yourself to species that feel unfamiliar, intimidating, or even repellent? In this powerful recorded class, internationally recognized pioneer Penelope Smith will guide you into surprising breakthroughs with the very animals you least expect to connect with.

You’ll explore the possibility of learning directly from rats, spiders, snakes, grizzly bears, mosquitoes, parasites, bacteria, or even viruses—beings often dismissed as creepy, dangerous, or insignificant. Penelope shares her own transformative stories, including how scorpions and roof rats became her teachers when she communicated with them as individuals.

Through guided meditation, you’ll meet your own unexpected animal teachers, ask them questions, and receive their insights. You’ll also hear the eye-opening experiences of other participants who discovered profound wisdom when they dared to communicate with the animals they once resisted.

This class is an invitation to:

Stretch your boundaries and expand your perception of who animals are
Transform fear into curiosity and respect
Gain revelations about yourself, life, and the interconnected web we all share

If you’re new to telepathic animal communication or would like to prepare for the class, explore The Pointers to Enhance Telepathic Communication with Animals and Penelope’s classic book Animal Talk.

Wild Animals Speak

Filmed during a rare wildlife communication retreat facilitated by Penelope at Earthfire Institute Wildlife Sanctuary in Idaho with the Teton mountain peaks in the background.

It is the combination of Penelope Smith's lifetime work of communicating telepathically with other species and the ability of the animals to make their voices heard and their wisdom and powerful energy felt. In this retreat, Penelope helps the human participants release the mindsets that limit their ability to listen and walk in understanding with other species. Fostering heart to heart, mind to mind, and soul to soul connection with animals brings people into a refreshing relationship with wild animals as fellow intelligent beings.

Basic principles of telepathic communication are used to enable people to experience thoughts, feelings, and energetic transmissions from coyotes, foxes, bears, a cougar, bison, and other Earthfire residents. In this holy ground of true meeting, witness how the animals respond favorably, magic happens, and human perspectives are deeply shifted. You will be moved into a receptive state of communion as you watch this DVD.

Part of the DVD proceeds will help support the wild animals of Earthfire Institute.

Earthfire Institute provides a lifelong home for rescued wild animals who are not capable of living in the wild. While the animals retain their essential wildness, they are comfortable with humans, so their innate curiosity and desire for relationship can flourish. The animals become partners in an intimate experience of the interdependency between humans and all of nature. The experience creates a deep transformative sense of the connection between humans and the larger community of life. The Institute’s mission is to awaken ecological advocacy through human connection with the rescued wildlife of Earthfire. www.earthfireinstitute.org.

MUSIC

Animal Spirit Call

A powerful embrace of our ancestral roots honoring kinship with all life. Chant, dance, drum, and sing with animal powers and ancient healing spirits.

Over the years, students of our Advanced Interspecies Communication Courses have requested a recording for remembrance and further practice of the drumming and chanting we do to gather our energy and call in the spirits. The form of this Spirit Power Circle came from my guiding spirits and through knowledge of the Native American Medicine Wheel. The Student Power Song came as I drummed with students to call in the spirits of all the directions. It has now been sung in circles around the world.

The Ancient Grandmothers, our wise female ancestors from many cultures, conduct us deeper into our true source of divine power within. Powerful, playful, and loving characters, they have added their blessings to this recording with some transformational healing songs.

Chants for the Journey Home

Chant lyrics and melodies arose out of dolphin/whale journeys, shamanic ceremonies, contemplative moments, and during dreams. They were given to share with my fellow travelers in the physical world to help us feel the core of who we really are on our spiritual journey home.

After years of singing the chants with students in courses and retreats, I wanted to record them with musical accompaniment. At last, they are here for those of you who have enjoyed singing them before and for other travelers on the Earth journey.

Learn more about the chants….including the lyrics and story behind each song.

Watch a music sampler.

Since the 1970s, I've had a mission to bring forth a hidden ability found in everyone. The secret language that unlocks the door to understanding all species. I created the title interspecies telepathic communication to show the wider application of communicating with animals, plants, mountains, rivers…all life, in and beyond physical form. Echolng indigenous wisdom: Everything is alive. Everything communicates.

My vision: People recovering their ability to communicate with other species—realizing it is within them and can be remembered, recognized, practiced, and developed. Exchanging thoughts and feelings telepathically with other species bringing rich realizations and positive change. People living more fulfilling lives as they walk on Earth with other species and all life in mutual understanding and compassion. All beings and Mother Earth enjoying this deep connection.
