In the talk, James shares the insights they have gained over the last 20 years of assisting animals and people with mindfulness. He uncovers the hidden magic of the animal-human connection.

The talk is divided into three areas of interest:

1. Building Trust and Connection
2. Changing Behavior
3. Creating a State of True Cooperation

The stories shared reflect a remarkable interpretation of how we can all learn a great deal about our own trust, behaviour, and cooperation by understanding the key ingredients that constitute the magic of helping animals!
