It was interesting to treat this as part of our connection with the animals, because they answered the sounds we made with new messages. Sometimes we called them, sometimes we said: “we are here to dialogue with you.” So this became a ceremony. A conversation with animal species, seeking understanding, opening our hearts and emotions. This was the central part. We ended by saying thanks to the animal species with deep laughter.
