Free Video and Lecture: SPIRITS in Transition: End of Life Care for AnimalsBy Ella Bittel
Presentation Description:
Video: Spirits in Transition: End-of- Life Care for Animals By Holistic Veterinarian Ella Bittel, shown by Amaroq Weiss
While it can be of great benefit to have euthanasia available, our fears of death and the possibility of letting our animal suffer, combined with the profound lack of information on animal hospice, have frequently lead animal owners to feel that they don't have any other choice when the end of their animal's life comes closer.
Through the death of her dog Momo in 2001, Ella realized that none of her extensive veterinary training had included how to care for an animal that goes through a natural dying process. Indeed, this important topic simply is often dismissed in our society.
Yet there is an inherent value to the natural dying process, as it gives the animal time to prepare for the transition it is about to make. Understanding the needs of the dying gives us more confidence to allow this process to unfold in its own time.
In this recording of Ella giving a one-hour Powerpoint presentation on animal hospice, the common reasons for euthanasia are re-evaluated, and the western definition of when the dying process is concluded is challenged by scientific research on the body's subtle energy systems which coincide with knowledge passed along in ancient teachings.
Ella Bittel has specialized in holistic treatment options for animals for over 20 years.
She is certified with IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Association), with AVCA (Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association), with Linda Tellington-Jones as a TTOUCH practitioner, and with Donna Eden, adapting her Energy Medicine techniques to support animals through their aura and chakras.
Born in Germany, Ella now lives and works as a Holistic Veterinarian in California. Perceiving dying and supporting the dying as a sacred, precious art, she created a weekend seminar on end-of-life care for animals, "Spirits in Transition".
The film highlights some of the topics covered in this seminar and will be shown by Amaroq Weiss, who - being a certified TTOUCH practitioner herself- met Ella last year at the 30-year celebration of TTouch and TTeam practitioners. Deeply inspired and moved by Ella's presentation at this international gathering, Amaroq leapt at the chance to bring the full- length 15 hour event to Ashland. Designed for people interested in learning more about hospice for animals, the weekend seminar "Spirits in Transition" is offered at Jackson WellSprings July 20-22.
