    The History, Evolution & Future of Interspecies Communication

    Broadcast on February 23, 2026
    With Penelope Smith
    Hosted by Danielle MacKinnon

    This session explores the origins and evolution of telepathic animal communication, tracing its development from the early days of intuitive experimentation in the 1970s to its emergence as a recognized and respected field. You’ll examine how training standards, public perception, and professional communities have evolved over time, and how increased cultural openness has shaped the way humans relate to animal consciousness. You’ll also look ahead to the future of animal communication, considering its potential role in deepening humanity’s ethical, spiritual, and evolutionary relationship with all living beings.

    The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.

    Penelope Smith

    Grandmother of Interspecies Telepathic Communication

    Penelope Smith is the founding pioneer of interspecies telepathic communication, having practiced professionally since the 1970s. Communicating with animals telepathically throughout her life, she discovered in 1971 that animals could be relieved of emotional traumas and other problems through the same counseling techniques that helped humans.

    Her training and experience include bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the social sciences... years of training and experience in human counseling, nutrition, and holistic body energy balancing methods... research into animal nutrition, anatomy, behavior, and care... and her firsthand education from the thousands of animals she has contacted.

    Penelope published some of the first and now classic books and audio recordings in the field. The tried-and-true telepathic communication techniques she developed are widely used by others in the field. Her students affectionately call her the grandmother of interspecies telepathic communication. A legendary teacher, she helped launch the careers of professional animal communicators around the world.

    Penelope feels that the sacred connection made through telepathic communication with other species is essential for human wholeness. She believes everyone is born with the power to communicate with other species, and that we all can rediscover this ability for the benefit of all beings on Earth.
