Welcome to Animal Connection and Beyond
Our Four Understandings are
Karen’s Journey

Follow the journey that developed the Animal Connection and Beyond Understandings, and led Karen to team up with some amazing people to set up our volunteer program, and membership programs to support the research.
Be a Volunteer

Do you have an animal with a chronic physical or behavioural condition, such as laminitis, or crib biting? Would you like to take a journey of your own to see if mindfulness techniques can help you and your animal ? You may be eligible for our volunteer programme.
Increase your understanding, explore or learn with us by becoming a member of the Animal Connection and Beyond Association. All membership fees go to our not-for-profit association.
The Animal Connection and Beyond Association aims to research and understand, by managing a volunteer program of ten or more people with their animals, and subsequently provide a report on:
- the effects of feelings shared between domestic animals and their guardians, on the chronic physical and behavioural conditions of their animals; and
- whether there is an improvement in conditions when shared feelings are modified by the introduction of mindfulness techniques.
