INTRODUCTION & FOUNDATIONS TO INTUITIVE INTERSPECIES COMMUNICATION
3-Day Immersive workshops in the world of Intuitive Animal and Interspecies Communication
SPRING - SUMMER 2026, EUROPE
Facilitated by Eleni Gkikakis

Overview | A Call to Connect More Deeply
In times of uncertainty and rapid change, many people are feeling a renewed desire to listen more closely to the animals who share their lives. Companion animals, our dogs, cats, horses, and other beloved beings, often stand closest to us, sensing what we feel, reflecting what we carry, and responding with a depth of presence we are only beginning to understand.
Across Europe and beyond, friends and supporters of Interspecies Peace™ are gathering in small, heartfelt ways to explore this shared longing: to communicate more clearly, compassionately, and responsibly with the animals we love. These gatherings arise from a heartfelt wish to deepen relationship, trust, and care.
In response to this growing call, Interspecies Peace™ is offering Introduction & Foundation workshops in Intuitive Animal Communication, focused primarily on communication with companion and domestic animals. The work invites participants to remember intuition as a natural human ability, and to learn how to listen with humility, presence, and respect.
Each workshop is co-created locally, shaped by the needs of the community and the place in which it is held. From homes and gardens, to small retreat spaces, villages, and quiet towns, people come together to learn, practice, and reflect in a grounded and supportive environment.
Eleni Gkikakis, founder of Interspecies Peace™, is invited to guide these gatherings, offering a clear ethical framework, gentle practices, and lived experience in intuitive communication. While rooted in personal relationships with animals, the work naturally opens into a wider sense of responsibility and kinship with Nature and Earth.
These workshops will go beyond mastering a technique. They are about remembering how to listen, first with the animals closest to us, and allowing that listening to reshape how we show up in the world.

Workshop Focus
An Introduction to Intuitive Animal & Interspecies Communication
This immersive workshop introduces participants to the foundations of intuitive animal communication, with a primary focus on companion animals (dogs, cats, horses, and other animals with whom we share daily life).
Participants are guided to develop trust in their natural intuitive senses, learn ethical principles, and practice grounded communication in a safe, respectful way.
“What touched me most was the emphasis on ethics and responsibility. This was more than “getting information” from animals... it was about deep relationship, allowing, and humility. The workshop shifted how I show up not only with animals, but with people and Nature as well.”

Ethos & Approach
This work is offered:

Without pressure or performance
In small, supportive groups

“Eleni’s way of teaching is both gentle and precise. The material is rich, yet never overwhelming. Practices are introduced slowly, with great care for emotional safety and discernment. I came for animal communication, but left with a deeper sense of presence and trust in life itself.”
Everyday Situations This Work Can Support
When Intuitive Listening Matters Most
The foundations shared in this workshop are especially relevant for everyday situations many animal guardians and sensitive beings encounter, such as:
Welcoming or adopting a new animal into your life
Helping an animal adjust to change or transition
Missing or lost animals
Supporting animals in shelters
Living with senior animals
Supporting animals who are sick or approaching end of life
Navigating questions around euthanasia with presence and care
Understanding behavioural challenges with compassion
Decisions around spaying or neutering
Changes in family structure, home, or routine
Relating respectfully to wildlife or free-living animals
Encounters with insects or uninvited animals in the home
These situations are approached not as problems to fix, but as invitations to listen more deeply and respond with humility, responsibility, and care to what our animals NEED.
(Important: this work complements, but does not replace, veterinary, behavioural, or professional care.)
Who This Workshop Is For
This Workshop Is For You If…
You love animals and wish to understand them more deeply
You live with companion animals and want to communicate with greater clarity and respect
You are a Nature enthusiast, sensitive, intuitive, or empathic and want grounded guidance
You work with animals, Nature, or support people who do
You feel called to listen rather than control
You are open to learning with humility and patience
You value ethics, responsibility, and emotional awareness
No prior experience in animal communication is required.
This Workshop Is Not For You If…
Please Read This Gently and Honestly
This workshop may not be the right fit if:
You are looking for instant answers or guaranteed results
You wish to “read” animals without considering ethics or consent
You are seeking validation rather than relationship
You want techniques without self-reflection
You are unwilling to question projections or assumptions
You are not open to learning slowly and responsibly
This clarity helps protect both participants and the animals involved.
A Note on Scope & Responsibility
Intuitive Animal Communication is a subtle and relational practice. It does not replace veterinary, holistic care, behavioural training, or professional medical advice. This workshop offers tools for listening and relationship, not diagnosis or prediction.
“This workshop offered something I had been searching for for a long time: a grounded, ethical, and deeply respectful approach to animal communication. The teachings were clear, the practices gentle yet profound, and I left with tools I could actually integrate into daily life with my animals. Nothing felt forced or exaggerated — only honest listening.”
