Celia Braund is a post-graduate trained Therapist and Consultant with her own human
and animal Complementary Health Practice serving North Devon & Exmoor. She works
across a wide spectrum of species, including Farm, Companion and Exotic animals, pro-
viding the modalities of Healing, Massage, Aromatherapy, Zoopharmacognosy and in-
tegrated Interspecies Communication, alongside incorporating emergent cross-disci-
plinary tools and techniques.
Embracing the relational field informs her approach to every animal (and human) she
engages with, from chinchillas to African elephants, and takes the shape of images,
words, conversations and physical sensations relating to spiritual, emotional, ecologi-
cal and physical ailments and injury sites, as well as appropriate remedial action and
advice for guardians and all of humanity.
Within this expansive course, Celia supports and guides participants as they take a
deeper dive into the realms of non-verbal communication with the more-than-human
world, weaving together both art and science to create a richly tapestried existential
and creational experience, based upon plant, animal, landscape and indigenous wisdom.
Current students and practitioners will have the opportunity to further hone their
remit in combination with embodying and reaching beyond multi-sensory awareness;
blending that which crosses the boundaries of species and time, and continuing to
build on the practice of presence through facilitated kinetic and somatic exercises.
Embracing simultaneous diversity, complexity, richness and vitality with the paradoxi-
cally beautiful simplicity of the soil, Celia will be directing attention towards the im-
portance of re-establishing right relationship with the earth and manifesting a state
of harmonious reverence for all.
Part 1 will focus on amplified connection, longing and belonging, and achieving and
maintaining a heart-centric perspective, alongside an exploration into the alchemical
world of lichens, the fungal realm and the mycelial web, and accompanied by a brand
new cohort of live plant and animal guest teachers.
In Part 2, participants will be fully leaning into their clay selves, exploring their in-
trinsically circular natures and, once more, spending time immersed in the fecund Ex-
moor landscape with some of its most well-established residents inviting them to
tread the path of their once shared ancestral past.
