For this session the pets have chosen the theme of celebration. 

They want to emphasize that life is a gift and they want to celebrate with us the fact that we all come together in this way, and that we sometimes play, sing and celebrate together. 

For the animals, life is a sacred journey and at the end of a journey there is always a celebration to acknowledge what was, what has been achieved, and how the path goes on from there. 

So, they invite us all to step over to them, to sit together in a big circle and to share about our lives. 

Everyone is heard and cherished and welcome. Everyone is listened to. 

For this session there is no preparation necessary. 

You can just say “hello” and this time you meet a circle of animals and people, who all belong to your family. 

Among them is your beloved pet friend. 

They invite you to sit in the circle and you can listen to what these people and animals have to say. 

When it is your turn, you can tell them about your life, about the animals and people that are dear to you. 

You can share of your life with your pet and what was so special and about how you feel now. 

The people and animals listen to you as you freely talk as long as you like about what your pet means to you and about your feelings. 

This is your family and you will be able to feel how they take part in your experience and acknowledge and honour every word you say. 

After you have finished, there may be people or animals who wish to speak – to comfort you and to offer you their friendship. 

Know that you are here amongst friends. 

These are the beings that will carry you through all your life. Now they have shown up for you again to mark this occasion. 

Maybe you want to thank them for all they have done for you, for their loyal friendship and their love. 

In this ceremony you can also address your beloved friend directly and tell them anything that hasn’t yet been said. 

Then there is the blessing of light and unconditional love that showers all that are taking part in this ceremony. You receive this love and light as you are present in this celebration. 

When you are ready, you can give thanks to everybody, come back and write down all you saw and experienced. 

Maybe you need some time to rest now. You can also take a walk around nature to ground yourself and to digest all you heard.
