Overview
Interspecies Voices is grounded in intuitive interspecies communication (IIC), and in the recognition that humans are part of Nature, an interdependent 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 and who is included. It supports the inclusion of interspecies perspectives in decision-making processes that affect animals, ecosystems, and human communities.
Rather than assuming representation or speaking on behalf of animals or Nature, this work focuses on the conditions through which participation becomes possible. It explores how communication can inform participation, and how participation can reshape responsibility within shared decision-making.
This approach contributes to evolving how participation and representation are understood and practiced within the living world.
This work is, in part, an articulation of lived experience into shared recognition.
Grounded in years of direct interspecies communication practice with the more-than-human, this work also draws on collaboration and dialogue with individuals and organisations across animal advocacy, conservation, and interspecies communication.
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 animals, wildlife, and all of Nature through intuitive, non-verbal means. This form of communication involves tuning into our intuitive senses 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 our hearts—to the presence and wisdom 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, context, 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 animals, plants, and the land 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
This work applies intuitive interspecies communication within real-world decision-making.
It engages with situations where decisions affect animals, ecosystems, and human communities, bringing interspecies perspectives into dialogue.
Rather than treating communication as an outcome, this approach focuses on how listening can inform participation, and how participation can shape more inclusive and responsible decision-making.
It contributes to emerging practices that integrate interspecies perspectives into governance, conservation, and collaborative systems.
Founder
Christine Noble Seller is the founder of Interspecies Voices. She works at the intersection of intuitive interspecies communication, animal advocacy, and collaborative decision-making.
Since 2014, her work has evolved from direct interspecies communication practice into collaborative and interdisciplinary contexts, exploring how this work can inform shared decisions and broader systems.
In 2024, she founded Interspecies Voices to extend and deepen this work within decision-making and systemic change across animal welfare, wildlife conservation, and related movements.
Her work brings interspecies perspectives into decision-making, supporting more inclusive approaches across law, policy, conservation, and governance. She contributes to a growing body of work exploring how intuitive interspecies communication can inform participation, representation, 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.
Several of these contributions are reflected under Collaborations.
