Overview
Interspecies Voices is grounded in intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) and in the recognition that humans are part of Nature, an interconnected living system.
Many of the structures through which decisions are made across governance, conservation, research, and community life remain largely human-centred.
Through IIC, this work expands how listening occurs. It supports the inclusion of interspecies perspectives, meaningful participation in decision-making processes, and deeper relationships between humans and the wider living world.
What is Intuitive Interspecies Communication?
Intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) is a natural, innate capacity shared by all animals—including humans—that allows for direct, two-way communication with other animals, wildlife, and Nature through intuitive, non-verbal means.
This form of communication involves engaging our intuitive awareness to receive and share thoughts, emotions, images, sensations, and messages from other beings.
Communication can take place across distances and does not require physical presence, making IIC widely accessible. While often described as energetic or telepathic, IIC is a way of listening beyond words—with openness, presence, and respect for the lives, relationships, and perspectives of the more-than-human.
-
Intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) is not based on observation, species behaviour, or vocalisation.
It is distinct from human-constructed communication methods such as augmentative devices (for example, “talking buttons”), artificial intelligence, machine learning, or robotics. While these approaches support communication, they rely on human-designed systems rather than the intuitive exchange that IIC facilitates.
IIC is not about interpreting or projecting human meaning onto animals or Nature. It is a process of mutual listening, free from control or human-centred assumptions.
-
IIC involves quieting the mind, opening the heart, expanding awareness, and listening beyond words.
Communication may be experienced through images, feelings, sensations, thoughts, or a deep sense of knowing. It allows for a mutual exchange with other animals and ecosystems. -
Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC) is an innate capacity shared by all humans as part of the living world.
While everyone can engage with this form of communication, the depth and application of the practice develop through experience and ongoing engagement.
-
IIC is applied in situations where decisions affect animals, ecosystems, and human communities.
It can inform areas such as animal care, conservation, and ecological work by bringing forward interspecies perspectives, particularly where decisions affect animals, ecosystems, and human communities. In these settings, IIC supports more informed, inclusive, and responsive approaches to decision-making.
-
While intuitive interspecies communication is gaining renewed recognition today, it is not new.
Across cultures and throughout history, humans have communicated with other animals and Nature as part of everyday life. Many Indigenous traditions have long honoured reciprocal communication.
Although this way of communicating has been diminished in some cultures, the capacity itself has never disappeared.
Approach
Intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) is applied in real-world decision-making.
It engages with situations where decisions affect other animals, ecosystems, and human communities, bringing interspecies perspectives into dialogue alongside scientific knowledge, lived experience, and other ways of knowing.
IIC can contribute to more informed, inclusive, and life-centred decision-making.
This work forms part of a growing interdisciplinary movement exploring how the living world can participate more fully in the decisions that shape our shared future.
Founder
Christine Noble Seller is the founder of Interspecies Voices. She is an interspecies advocate whose work lies at the intersection of intuitive interspecies communication (IIC), collaborative decision-making, and systems change.
Since beginning her professional work in 2014, her focus has continued to expand into collaborative and interdisciplinary contexts, exploring how intuitive interspecies communication can inform shared decision-making and broader systems.
In 2024, she founded Interspecies Voices to create a dedicated space for this evolving work and its contribution to wider conversations within the living world.
Her work supports the inclusion of interspecies perspectives in decision-making and contributes to an emerging body of interdisciplinary practice exploring participation, relationship, and responsibility within the living world.
Christine collaborates internationally and is invited to speak and contribute to conferences, summits, and initiatives advancing interspecies communication, conservation, and systems change.
Selected contributions are reflected under Collaborations and Speaking.
