Speaking
Contributions
I speak at conferences, workshops, and online summits where people are asking:
What becomes possible when we genuinely include Nature's voice in shared decision-making - in our work, our research, our governance, and in our daily lives?
My talks explore the intersection of intuitive interspecies communication, collaborative decision-making, and systems change: grounded in real-world application, ethical rigour, and the lived experience of working across species and disciplines.
What I Speak About
Core themes include:
Bringing interspecies communication into professional contexts - how IIC practitioners, scientists, conservationists, and policy-makers can collaborate to make space for Nature's voice in systems that don't yet recognise it
Collaborative decision-making across species - what it looks like to genuinely include the living world in decisions that affect them, and the frameworks that make this possible
Ethics and consent in interspecies work - navigating questions of agency, power, and reciprocity when humans are facilitating communication with other species and ecosystems
Translating intuitive knowing into institutional language - how to bring what you're receiving from the more-than-human into contexts that require empirical rigour without losing integrity
Building bridges between disciplines - how IIC practitioners and scientists can work together productively, honouring different epistemologies without one dominating
The role of IIC in conservation, research, and land stewardship - real-world applications where interspecies intelligence has informed habitat restoration, species protection, or ecosystem management
Who I Speak To
Interdisciplinary audiences - at conferences exploring the intersection of ecology, consciousness, and systems change
Conservation and rewilding networks - interested in how interspecies communication can inform land stewardship and species protection
Academic and research communities - navigating the integration of intuitive methodologies with empirical science
Animal care organisations (sanctuaries, rehabilitation centres) - exploring relational approaches to welfare and decision-making
IIC practitioner gatherings - where the field itself is being refined, deepened, and professionalised
Policy and governance bodies - considering how to include other-than-human perspectives in frameworks and decisions
Speaking Formats
Keynote talks - exploring a specific theme with depth and nuance
Panel participation - where interspecies communication intersects with other disciplines or perspectives
Workshops - where participants engage directly with the concepts through inquiry, case studies, or facilitated dialogue
Facilitated conversations - bringing diverse stakeholders together to explore questions, perspectives, and possibilities across disciplines
All sessions can be tailored to your audience, context, and specific questions. I work remotely via Zoom and can accommodate different time zones.

Exploring Intuitive Interspecies Communication for Eco-Centric Change
The Council of Outdoor Educators of Ontario (COEO) (January 2026)
With M.J. Barrett (PhD), Adjunct Professor, School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan
Did you ever wonder if you could communicate with other animals? Or Plants? This workshop brings together the perspectives of an experienced intuitive interspecies communication (IIC) practitioner and an academic researcher. Both ancient and contemporary, IIC refers to the experience of two-way communication between humans and other species. Through stories, research, and an experiential exercise, we explore what IIC is, and is not, and how it shows up for students and what might nourish their skills.
