A biologist's experiment with "Processional Caterpillars"
On the rim of a clay pot that held a plant, the biologist lined up the lead caterpillar so that he was head-to-tail with the last caterpillar.
The tiny creatures circled the rim of the pot for a full week. Not once did any one of them break away to go over to the plant and eat. Eventually, all caterpillars died from exhaustion and starvation.
The story of the processional caterpillars is a kind of parable of human behavior. People are reluctant to break away from the rhythmic pattern of daily life. Change is difficult and often fearful even when beneficial.

Thank you for your interest in The Animal Institute of Holistic Health™ and our work at The Center for Animal Awareness. Our goal was to always provide the highest level of training in the field of holistic healthcare for animals. Sharing information has always been crucial to survival, not only for the many species of animals, but for the environment, humanity and every living thing. To create and expand on models for wholeness, balance, harmony, beauty, meaning, unity, health and optimal well being is urgent at this time and one of the greatest ways to realize this vision is through education. Education is no longer a luxury, but a responsibility. Please seek places that encourage you to be involved and have their roots in the deepest and oldest ancestral wisdom handed down from time immortal, perhaps information also based on current strategies that have their roots in the oldest forms of wisdom. Today's holistic modalities are also based on the latest scientific research. It is also crucial to remember that information can also be hazardous when used improperly, even with the best intentions. Finding qualified therapists, veterinarians who support complementary care and other team members for your animals ultimate mental, physical and spiritual care should be followed with reverence. Today, most animals live in environments controlled by or in some way impacted by humans. Taken away from the natural order of their existence, most animals live in survival mode as do we without even realizing it we are so conditioned..
Education can make the difference in our own survival as we live in a symbiotic relationship with all living things. Animals and humans coexist and have deep, often mystical partnerships. I hope for a vision to continually improve new ways to bring love and healing to this relationship. Knowledge and love combinee with wisdom are a path to erase ignorance as an excuse for the unethical treatment of animals and the neglect they suffer. Each one teach one and each one.
I hope the school and our work here has been a blessing and made a difference. Like dropping a pebble into a still pond, the ripple effect goes on for infinity.
