Animals have wisdom to share.
Deepening our connection with animals can unleash the lifeforce that is essential for wellbeing, understanding and happiness.
Did you know your animal friend is full of wisdom?
Sharing this wisdom brings connection and unleashes the lifeforce essential for wellbeing and happiness.
Our Place on Earth was founded by Dr Jodi Ruckley, Veterinarian, Small Animal Naturopath and Veterinary Osteopath.
Learning through the eyes of animals
Jodi's work grew from a profound experience with cows at a sanctuary in India and an increasing awareness of animals as both teachers and healers.
Get the book“In 2003, whilst visiting a gaushala — a cow sanctuary in India — I was inspired to write a book called Through the Eyes of a Cow.
During this research period I became aware of the power of animals as teachers and healers.
Cows demonstrated that their social structures are based on nurturing relationships, equality and compassion, and that humanity could benefit greatly from following the example their peaceful natures provide.”
— Dr Jodi Ruckley
