About The Retreat
A 6-day immersive retreat to connect intuitively with animals and people alike
Do you love animals? Do you feel like the animal in your life was “meant” to be with you? Have you ever experienced a spiritual connection with an animal (or would you like to)?
The Animal Soul Connection retreat gathers a community of open-hearted, mindful animal lovers who desire to connect more fully and more deeply with the animal kingdom through intuition, compassion, and connection.
If you’re interested in exploring your connection with animals by opening yourself to be able to receive their wisdom, then you’re in perfect alignment with Animal Soul Connections. You’ll expand your connection to the animal world when you let Animal Communicator, Danielle MacKinnon and the animals of Costa Rica guide you.
