Attend Levy Lecture, 'Animal Communication,' On November 13

carolee

How many times have you told your cat or dog “no” and yet the unwanted behavior continues? Carolee Biddle has communicated with many animals to learn how humans can modify their behavior and create more harmony in the home. Biddle describes how she uses her innate intuition to energetically connect to the animal, then “talk” with them using telepathy—the universal language of pictures, words, feelings and knowings. You'll learn ways to successfully communicate your expectations to your animals. The free lecture will be held on Tuesday, November 13 at 1 p.m. Please register in advance. The Levy Lecture Series is sponsored by the Levy Senior Center Foundation.
