Well, I definitely hope to visit you sometime and have the opportunity to observe and learn and just be present to the snake wisdom from a safe distance.

I have specialized in the red tail boas because they are very willing to be our teachers up close and personal if we are willing. I don't have other species as my snake room is too small, my time too limited and I don't want to subjugate any living creatures to a life w/o species community, interaction or at least quality habitat. Maybe someday a Snake Temple where that is all possible....

Btw- About half of my snake wkshps don't include dancing, but focus on the power of being in the unknown moment or what Eckhart Tolle calls,"Presence: consciousness w/o thought", a rare state for humanity. And something I imagine you have experienced (after checking in w your instincts first of course) when you encounter a venomous serpent.

If you are interested, my Workshop link

Have a good day!
