Join Us For Self-Care Sunday With Sound Baths

For Dogs And Their Humans!

When humans experience stress, our animals can sense and absorb that stress as well. Sound Healing presents a positive experience for both you and your pet. Engaging in a sound bath together allows you to share a meditative, tranquil space filled with calm and peace; benefiting both you and your dog. Just like humans, pets also reap a variety of advantages from regular meditation practice, including reduced anxiety and a heightened sense of relaxation.

Chicago sound practitioner Silvia Rubalcaba will gently guide you through a relaxing meditation using Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls and other sound healing instruments while you relax with your fur baby. This one-hour session will conclude with Prosecco and Swag Bags from some of the top Chicago pet professionals and our favorite local businesses. Also included with your ticket is a custom travel water bottle for your pup (a $40 value).

Do I have to bring a dog to participate?

You absolutely don’t!

What if I have two dogs?

Each ticket is good for one dog and one human. If you wish to bring two dogs, please purchase another ticket and bring another human. We ask all dogs are leashed and handled by one human.

What if my dog is nervous?

That’s okay! Sound healing is so relaxing your pup should feel immediate benefits.

What if I’m nervous?

We love first timers! This is not a yoga class, you may lie down and cuddle your pup while you let your mind drift.

Any other requirements?

A fully vaccinated dog! You will receive a waiver to sign via email after you register. If your dog is reactive, please leave them home. We will ask unruly animals or humans to leave if we cannot maintain a calm, positive environment. All tickets are transferable and non-refundable.

What should I bring?

Yoga mats will be provided, but feel free to bring what will make you and your dog more comfortable! An extra yoga mat, blanket, dog bed, the choice is yours!

When should I sign up?

Immediately! We have limited spots available for dogs (max. is 15) and humans (max. is 45).

Happy World Vegetarian Day! 💚🐐
⠀
I haven’t eaten animals in 38 years.
⠀
By one U.S. estimate, that’s the equivalent of sparing roughly 14,000–22,000 animals, including fish and shellfish. It’s an estimate, but a reminder that our everyday choices add up.
⠀
Animals have always mattered to me. These days, I photograph them and listen to what they want to share.
⠀
And occasionally take selfies with goats.

Meet Peanut. 🐾
⠀
Michelle is fostering Peanut through @sayvanimalorg. When I photographed him and listened to what he wanted to share, Peanut told me what it felt like to be alone and what changed when Michelle took a chance on him.
⠀
He also shared his love of green grass, frothy ice cream, and warm hands on his back. And he explained what he means when he licks someone’s ankles.
⠀
This is Peanut’s full SEE HEAR LOVE film: his portrait, his words, and his story. Which part stayed with you?

Did you know your animal can have their own SEE HEAR LOVE Experience?
⠀
I photograph your animal and connect with them intuitively to learn what they want you to know. Later that same day, you see their portraits and hear their words together at a private reveal.
⠀
The Experience is $500 at Candice C. Cusic Photography in Chicago. Finished artwork is purchased separately.

“I’m small but mighty. I have feelings too. I’m important too.” — Peanut
⠀
Before Peanut met his foster, he says he felt alone and unneeded.
⠀
Then Michelle took a chance on him.
⠀
“I feel so much healthier. It doesn’t hurt every day. I have a new life now and I’m forever grateful. I won’t take this life for granted.”
⠀
🐾 Peanut is available for adoption through SAYv Animal Organization. If Peanut feels like your kind of little guy, reach out to SAYv to learn more about adopting him.
⠀
Peanut is part of THE SEE HEAR LOVE PROJECT™.

THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH FILM FROM THE SEE HEAR LOVE PROJECT™ IS HERE. ❤️
⠀
Meet Nori and Wasabi, a bonded mother and son looking for their forever home together.
⠀
I connected with them telepathically to hear their thoughts, feelings and what they wanted people to know.
⠀
During his communication, Wasabi told me he would give Gabriella, the woman caring for him, all of his toys to make her smile.
⠀
Then he wondered if she needed a ribbon or a string—because those are the things that cheer him up.
⠀
And Nori had her own story to tell.
⠀
This is what The See Hear Love Project™ was created to do: combine animal communication, portraiture and documentary film so animals can participate in telling their own stories.
⠀
We don`t simply tell a story about an animal.
⠀
We tell it with them.
⠀
Nori and Wasabi are available for adoption through SAYv Animal Organization. If their story speaks to you, please share it. Somewhere out there is the person who is supposed to find them.
⠀
One animal. One story. One film created to help them find a home.
⠀
SEEN. HEARD. LOVED.

This is pretty exciting.

**Bored Panda just featured The See Hear Love Project.**

The See Hear Love Project is the world’s only documentary storytelling project told from the animal’s perspective.

Through animal communication, shelter and rescue animals share their own stories, and we create fine-art portraits and documentary films to help them be seen, heard, and adopted.

I’m incredibly grateful to the rescues who trusted us with their animals and their stories:
