About the Author

Patricia Jepsen. From early childhood Patricia Jepsen was surrounded with the love of animals and considered all animals her friends. The gift of interspecies communication developed as her consciousness evolved to embrace all life as sacred.

For over twenty-five years, Ms. Jepsen has been active in the expanding spiritual and environmental movements as a writer, lecturer and seminar leader. She is founder and director of the Center for International Cooperation (CIC), a non-governmental organization that is affiliated with the United Nations. In 1989, CIC cosponsored one of the first global conferences to present indigenous wisdom as an earth-saving message. Currently, CIC is sponsoring an educational program that focuses on partnership with all life and communication with animals. This project is a result of the teachings realized in "Communication with Animals" classes that Ms. Jepsen held with Delphi, her eldest golden retriever, from 1997 to 1999.

Ms. Jepsen is a highly experienced presenter. She has been a professional actor and teacher in the field of creative arts. She travels globally, speaking, holding seminars and workshops, and convening conferences. "Six Lessons with Delphi, How to Live Happily with All Life" serves as an educational pilot program in Tucson, Arizona, through restorative justice and supplementary character-building programs within schools and community-based youth groups.

Delphi. Delphi came to Pat Jepsen from a fine kennel in Virginia. She had been a show dog but was not happy about that profession. It must have been ordained, Delphi often thinks, because when she met Pat she knew she had found her spokesperson.

Since that time, Delphi has co-authored with Pat, "Delphi, What Being on Earth Is All About", written "Six Lessons with Delphi", and has been central to many workshops and classes. She is in the process of forming a school based on her teachings in "Six Lessons".

Delphi’s expectations are high. She wishes to reach the world with her vision of the circle of life. And, she confides, "I hope to seat myself at the United Nations where I can speak to everybody about partnership and a new earth!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Closed Hearts can't Hear, April 11, 2003

By 

Mrs V L Cooper (Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delphi: What Being on Earth Is All About (Paperback)

A wonderful book! Delphi's Message reaches the hearts and consciousness of all who are open to receive it. Closed hearts can't resonate to the magic and the wonder of the Circle of Life. If we listen we can begin to heal heart, mind and soul, and in so doing assist mankind in regaining its lost postion in The Circle, where no thing is above another, and where peace and harmony govern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dare to open your heart ..., November 30, 2002

By 

eh (Ojai, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delphi: What Being on Earth Is All About (Paperback)

If you sense that there is magic and wonder in the interchange between nature and animals and yourself, this is the book for you. Or, if you are frightened by sights and sounds beyond yourself, this is the book for you.

Each one has a purpose in life. We are all here to help, says Delphi. The stories in this book are based on animal communication classes taught by the author, Pat Jepsen, and her golden retriever partner Delphi. Transformation is the way in every chapter. I found breathtaking moments of clarity and remorse. From the heart center, we are expanded into the circle of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Journey Through A Dog, April 7, 2005

By 

Joey Deacon "Spacker" (The Moon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delphi: What Being on Earth Is All About (Paperback)

If you thought that it was only a can of Winalot that could take a magical journey through a dog, then you are wrong. Before reading this book I was disconnected from mother Earth. I spat at pigeons in the street, ate sausage rolls (minimum 8% meat) from Gregg's the Bakers and had been sadly lost to the infinite dream web of Maia.

But then Delphi came along and helped me to regain my connectedness to the sacred circle of animals to which we - as humans - a type of ape with only a small amount of fur - belong.

So now, if I do eat a bacon double cheeseburger at McDonald's, I make sure I 'square the circle' as Delphi would say, by going for a massive dump in the woods afterwards.

Thank you.
