Learn How to Communicate with Your Pet
If golf’s not your style, there’s another opportunity to hang out with your pet tomorrow at the Animal Communication Class. Well-known Denver area clairvoyant and medium Megan Riley will return to Leadville to teach an animal communication class at the Leadville Animal Shelter.
The Lake County Animal Shelter
The class will focus on beginning techniques of how to communicate telepathically, being present in the moment and understanding and feeling the energy in all things. “Sometimes it is easier to start with an animal you don’t know, because our feelings for our own pet can get in the way of us being open to what they are trying to say,” explains Riley.
Megan Riley: psychic, medium & animal communicator in Leadville this Sunday.
The cost is $35 per person, kids under 15 are free. Bring your own pet or spend time with one from the shelter. The original class on April 15th was snowed out. For more details, to register or to make an appointment for a private reading, please call Cookies With Altitude at 303-720-3683 or email Megan Riley at mail@meganmriley.com.
