Call of the Wild

Call of the Wild Healing and Communication Weekend with Birds of Prey. The wonderful Elizabeth Whiter will be with us for one weekend only showing you various ways of healing animals from hands on to distant healing, connecting and telepathically linking with all sentient beings and developing your natural ability to communicate with all life. The power of meditation and being in the moment and applying creative visualisation skills to remain focused and grounded is vital for animal communication.

On the Saturday we will be working with eagles, owls and birds of prey: Giving healing, handling them and observing them flying freely. You have an opportunity to practice the communication skills you have learnt during the day with these amazing birds. We will be learning basic wildlife husbandry skills and how to support the vital balance of nurturing nature. On the Sunday we will be honing our animal communication and healing skills with our canine and feline friends.

There will be plenty of hands-on work over the two days. Birds of Prey we will be working with include:

* Russian Steppe Eagle
* Barn Owls
* Asian Wood Owl
* Ferruginous Hawks
* Harris Hawks
* Turkmenian Eagle Owl
* Eurasian Eagle Owl
* African Spotted Eagle Owl
* Peregrine Falcon

Dreams can come True

Sharon — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:05:34 +0000

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Phil and also to Sharon who helped make a dream come true, My Wife Charlotte gave me a 3 day falconry course for my birthday and it was the best time I have had ever, in doing something I have dreamed about since I was a young lad many moons ago.I was expecting a lot of talk and to be sat around a lot and to be the assistant bird feeder, But no chance of that It was hands on from the moment I met Phil, he was understanding to my needs of wanting to know all about Harris Hawks and over those 3 days Phil taught me more than any book I had read and also answered questions for me and my concerns I had of buying and looking after my own bird, his knowledge rubbed of because of his calm approach and none rushed relaxed way of passing on his knowledge and skills with loads of time and patience, It was an amazing experience and my time flying “Spirit” was out of this world and meeting the other birds too and flying them, some for their first ever free flight that was an amazing buzz. On the last day we all went hunting, well Sharon and I did, Phil played hunt the ferret, and what a day that was and Sharon was amazing with “Storm” and it was the best thing ever to see a Hawk swooping in the air and flying free,and then letting “Spirit” take to the air was total satisfaction of what I had learned from my fantastic tutors, If you have a dream to fly a bird and want to forget the stresses of your life for a while don’t leave it as long as I did, do it now, you will never regret it, many thanks Phil & Sharon hope to see you again soon. Tom Baker.

Wonderful Hunting Afternoon

Sharon — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 13:04:24 +0000

I’ve just spent a wonderful afternoon with Phil, Storm – Harris Hawk, Nipper – Ferret, and the two springers – Sophie and Bruce.

Phil is an excellent mentor who’s ‘people skills’, is only second to his amazing relationships with his animals. I felt at ease within minutes of meeting him and the gang, and by the end of our hunt i felt elated, liberated and in awe of this wonderful experience, (in fact my cheeks still hurt from grinning so much).

i’m saving already to do the three day beginners course and all being well, i WILL have my own bird one day.

If you have never done any form of hunting or perhaps you have any misgivings about hunting at all, then you really need to experience nature’s creatures doing what they do best. To see all these animals working alone, or together, is breathtaking. I still feel quite overwhelmed to have worked with Storm and Nipper and i cant wait to do it again.

Phil, Sharon, Storm and Co……. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart – you are all wonderful.
