Dear friends,

If you've ever had a horse lean into your hands and sigh...
If you've watched a fearful dog soften and finally meet your eyes...
If you've had a cat quietly climb into your lap, asking for a session...
Then you already know.

Jin Shin Jyutsu isn't simply something we do for animals. It becomes a conversation—a quiet meeting place where trust grows, healing begins, and we often discover we've been changed as much as they have.

This fall, I'd love to invite you back into that conversation. Whether you join us at a rescue filled with hundreds of animals, immerse yourself from home through our online course, or spend four days at Alaqua Animal Refuge, each class offers a chance to deepen your understanding and your relationship with the animals who continue to be our greatest teachers.

Here are the three opportunities waiting this fall…

Alaqua Animal Refuge - Freeport, Florida

Join us for four days surrounded by hundreds of rescued animals at one of the country's most inspiring sanctuaries that has given thousands of animals second chances. This retreat-style class offers time to truly settle into the Art, build relationships with the animals, and experience the depth that comes from extended practice together.

This is the refuge I have considered my homebase for over 16 years and a place dear to my heart. The housing available for the students is at a beautiful renovated home nestled in a quiet piece on the original refuge property. Here you will be greeted by happy horses, cats and chickens who are lifetime residence of the refuge.

Whether you've studied with me before or are considering your first class, I would love to spend this time with you. Every group develops its own heart, every animal has something unique to teach us, and every class reminds me why I continue to share this beautiful Art after all these years.

I hope one of these gatherings calls to you. I'd love to welcome you there.

With warmth,

Adele, Giannina Mia, Scirroco, and Bob Leas
