United by Nature
Listening with Love
The United by Nature series gatherings invite us to listen deeply to the voices of the more-than-human in response to a need, a request for support, and/or to help bring back balance. Guided by intuition and care, we meet in community to open our hearts to Nature’s wisdom and to explore what love in action might look like in this moment.
Through Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC) — a practice of intuitive listening and heart-based connection with other animals, plants, and ecosystems — we open to guidance from Nature. No previous experience is needed — simply an open heart and willingness to listen. All are welcome!
All proceeds from each gathering support on-the-ground organisations caring for the beings and regions we’re called to support. In this way, every gathering becomes both a sacred act of listening and a tangible expression of Love in Action.
We welcome nominations for issues, species, or regions that feel important. We also invite collaborators to reach out about co-hosting a gathering in response to an issue in your community, region or country.

Listening to Belugas
Gathering Overview
We will come together to listen — intuitively and collectively — to the Belugas: both those held in captivity and their wild relatives swimming freely in northern waters. Belugas are part of the Cetacean family, which includes all whales, dolphins, and porpoises worldwide. With open hearts, we’ll listen to what the Belugas want us to know and how we can support them. No previous experience is needed — only an open heart and a willingness to listen. All are welcome!
The gathering will encompass an educational interview between Kristen and Christine, two-way communication with the Beluga, a Sharing Circle/ Q&A (you’re welcome to share your communication with Beluga and ask questions). A replay will be sent out 48 hours following the live gathering along with curated resources. You’ll also learn about a follow up opportunity to continue this conversation with the Beluga that Kristen is hosting later this month!
Diving Deeper
Together, we’ll explore themes that touch both the personal and the planetary, including:
The unique wisdom of Belugas and Cetaceans — and the intuitive connections that inspired this gathering.
Reflections on the lives of Belugas in captivity, including those at Marineland, and the realities faced by wild Belugas in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters.
Emerging insights from human stewardship practices, from sanctuary development and legal advocacy to broader questions of care, interconnection, and conscious responsibility.
The greater teachings Belugas offer about relationship, consciousness, and living in harmony with the natural world.
Communication with Beluga
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a live, guided communication with Belugas. Kristen will share messages received directly from the Belugas, while Christine offers thoughtful, attuned questions participants can pose the Beluga in a supportive, interactive space. This experiential session invites personal reflection and connection, bringing the messages and wisdom of Belugas vividly into the moment.
Proceeds
All proceeds will be shared equally between two organisations working to protect Belugas in captivity and in the wild.

Kristen Houser, Fauna Speak
Listening with Cetaceans
Kristen Houser of Fauna Speak is a professional Animal Communicator, connecting with animals and ecosystems worldwide. She experienced a deep kinship with Whales and Dolphins (Cetaceans) since her childhood in Kentucky; with Orca instrumental to her journey of interspecies collaboration. She now lives beside them, as well as Humpback and Grey, in the incredible diversity of the Salish Sea, Canada.
Kristen is proficient in Cetacean telepathy. Having spent the last decade listening, writing and communicating on their behalf. Including hosting a monthly Whale + Dolphin Circle since 2018. Balancing their cosmic grandeur with practical synthesis of their guidance for human kin. Endlessly amazed at how wholesome, nurturing and productive their suggestions.
Further illuminating the cornerstone of Kristen’s work: most inspired futures facilitated by symbiotic, interspecies collaboration. Both spanning disciplines and encouraging hearts.

Past Gatherings
Honouring what has been shared and received
Each gathering leaves a ripple — a trace of insight, compassion, and connection that continues long after the live gathering closes. We honour what has been shared and received, giving thanks to the featured guests whose presence supported each gathering — and to the beneficiary organisations working on the front lines of care and protection. Together, these gatherings reflect the living cycle of this offering: listening, responding, and giving back to Nature.
Love in Action: Canada
Our initial gathering, known as “Love in Action” was held in sacred response to the fires burning across Canada, we gathered to listen to the Wildfires and those affected (recorded in June 2025)
Our guest speaker, Sydney Kuppenbender, is a member of the Métis Nation and Project Manager for Elder Copper Jack’s Land and Peoples Relationship Model. Sydney is also the author of a master’s thesis at the University of Saskatchewan, Bringing Animal Voices to the Table: Exploring Intuitive Interspecies Communication as a Method for Conservation and Human-Animal Coexistence.
Sydney and her family were displaced from their home community of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, earlier this summer. During our gathering, she shared wisdom on Indigenous fire stewardship, her lived experience with wildfires, and our shared responsibility to act with compassion and respect for Nature.
With your help, we raised $1,414 CAD through the live gathering, replay contributions, and donation matches, shared between Sydney’s chosen beneficiaries: the Canadian Red Cross, Nature United, and the Winnipeg Humane Society.
Watch the full conversation on YouTube, where you’ll also find curated resources, guest speaker details, beneficiary information and links.
