I’m truly glad you’re here. This space was created to explore human–animal integrative care in a structured, thoughtful way — combining classical systems with somatic emotional integration. Before diving into coursework, I’d love to begin by getting to know you. In the comments below, please share: • Your name • Where you’re joining from? • What drew you to this work? • Do you have any animals? Please feel free to share a photo of yourself and your animal companion. This community grows through thoughtful participation. I encourage you to engage, ask questions, and contribute meaningfully as we build this institute together. Welcome. — Tamara
