Restoring
Sacred Relations

Rekindling our Kinship
with nature, animals and spirit

“This beautiful book is medicine for humanity’s deepest wound: our perceived separation from nature, our fall from grace… showing how each of us can actively participate in restoring our sacred relations with every other species on our beautiful planet.”

View Editions

At a time when the living world calls more urgently than ever,
Restoring Sacred Relations invites us to remember
what we have never truly lost:
our innate connection with Nature, Animals, and Spirit.

Through powerful stories, visionary experiences, and grounded guidance, Eleni Gkikakis opens a pathway into Intuitive Interspecies Communication—a way of listening, sensing, and relating that restores our place within the web of life.

Blending ancient wisdom with lived experience, this book offers both a spiritual practice and a practical framework for reconnecting with the more-than-human world. It calls us beyond separation and into kinship, beyond helplessness and into sacred participation.

This is an invitation to listen differently, to feel more deeply, and to step into a new way of being—one rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and the shared future of all life on Earth.

“A heartfelt and powerful invitation to remember our living connection with animals, nature, and spirit.”, Grandmother of Interspecies Telepathic Communication

“A groundbreaking book… a vital act of empathy, humility, and hope… an essential bridge between heart and science.”

Calling on her own experiences of calling in the wild, she shares many insights and practices of how we can reconnect with nature and recover a sense of the sacred that has been ruptured so badly. This book makes a welcome contribution to the movement of sacred activism and other movements committed to Earth's survival."

Much gratitude to Eleni Gkikakis for breathing life into Restoring Sacred Relations. It is exactly what humanity needs at this turbulent time in our evolution — a clear and concise plan to open our hearts, minds and souls to remembering our deep and profound connection to Nature and our place within the Circle of Life.

Ymani Simmons

Sacred Activist, Sage, Spiritual Mentor, and author of Are You Listening?

"A profound and timely invitation to reawaken our innate communion with the living Earth. Writen with both reverence and authority, weaving personal initiation, ecological wisdom and spiritual insight into a seamless tapestry of remembrance and renewal. Eleni illuminates the heart of Sacred Activism, uniting service to life with profound inner transformation. Her Path to Essence mirrors the journey we both teach: that only by healing within can we truly heal the world around us. With exquisite insight, she reveals that every act of reconnection begins with a single courageous choice—to move beyond fear and choose love. A radiant guide for those ready to walk that path and to serve the evolution of consciousness through compassion in action"

Brad Laughlin

"Restoring Sacred Relations is a beautiful tapestry of work. Eleni weaves in practical exercises, research and innate wisdom from all walks of life connecting everything with the golden threads of her incredible communication experiences with the wild ones. The earth is speaking with us at all times. Eleni shows us how, in so many different ways it is possible and indeed vital for us human beings to listen and act."

Wynter Worsthorne

Founder of Animaltalk Africa

“Eleni Gkikakis’ Restoring Sacred Relations is a luminous guide for anyone yearning to reconnect with the living world. Through her profound insights, moving stories, and practical exercises in Intuitive Interspecies Communication, she invites us to remember our deep kinship with Nature, Animals, and Spirit. This book is not only a wake-up call for our times but a sacred pathway toward healing—for Earth and for ourselves.”

Pea Horsley

Animal Communicator, Teacher, author, and Founder of AnimalThoughts.com

“The sweet smell of really wild strawberries on a June day while I crouched in a field is one of the few treasured memories of connecting with nature as a child. While I grew up doing a lot in the out of doors, much of it with animals, there is no sense of hearing more than rain and wind. My mission is still to have every person know that we can find ways to heal animals and people in ways that actually can heal the planet. At 75, this book is very important to me, as Eleni's powerful words and recorded meditations will push me to take the time to just be with the many spirits and to more powerfully advocate. I have heard the plants, animals, water, clouds, animals and more speak to me at times and know deeply our kinship. Eleni, as others in my recent decades, has pressed me to be more responsible for the reciprocity between all life. Loving, walking in harmony, appreciating, being grateful, offering my CO₂ as a gift to the photosynthesizers, listening, being guided by Nature are a great beginning. Eleni's book prompts a commitment to hear the beings of the natural world, speak to them, and do more than merely restore nature—to co-create thrivability and a paradigm of abundance. There is hope. We must work in partnership, the time is now, and Eleni’s loving guidance will be a catalyst.”

Dr. Christina Chambreau

Homeopathic Veterinarian, International Speaker, Teacher, Author and Lover of the Natural World

“In her luminous and reverent writing, Eleni Gkikakis offers both a spiritual framework and practical, lived examples of what is possible when we drop our human-centric ways of thinking and living, and begin to truly listen to and understand the multifaceted wisdom and perspectives of the more-than-human world. With insightful guidance, accessible experiential practices, a clear framework for understanding and practicing Intuitive Interspecies Communication, and deep respect for all of her teachers of many species, Eleni offers a roadmap for cultivating a vibrant, rich, deep connection with all life. As we remember and reclaim our natural ability to understand, communicate with, and live in deep and resonant connection with the more-than-human world, we also reclaim our ability and responsibility to share our gifts and act on behalf of this world—not as separate or superior—but in partnership and kinship, understanding the truth of our connection and that we each are a sacred part of the whole. Read this book for inspiration, practical guidance, and a grounded spiritual framework for restoring our fractured relationship with the Earth and reclaiming our capacity for deep relationship and partnership with All Life.”

Nancy Windheart

“If you love animals, care about our earth, you must read this book. Eleni Gkikakis has written the most beautiful call to humanity to remember our innate connection with all species. In these pages, you can re-learn the ancient art of intuitive communication and recreate your own sacred connection to all life. There is no time to waste. The Earth needs ALL of us now to remember. Open your heart and embrace Restoring Sacred Relations, you will be renewed with hope, inspiration, purpose, and Love.”

Kate Solisti

Internationally Respected Animal Communicator, Teacher, and author of Conversations with Dog, Cat, and Horse

Eleni has created a beautiful guidebook for the planet! She has woven together stories that spring forth hope in the face of loss with individual animals and epic weather tragedies. This must-read book offers step by step meditations, visions and ways to bring communities together in the face of eco-adversity, eco-grief and sheer anthropocentrism as we have a glimpse into Eleni’s powerful life’s work and mission. “Fire is a force to be understood” is one of my favorite quotes. And so is this book!

Joan Ranquet

Renowned Animal Communicator, Bestselling Author, Energy Healer, TEDx speaker, Educator, and Founder of Communication With All Life University (CWALU)

“Eleni's lovely book, Restoring Sacred Relations, is a testament to the significance of the growing field of Intuitive Interspecies Communication. Her elegant writing style and abundant documentation of other people's writings describe the depth and power of our ability to converse with beings other than human, as well as with landscapes and elements of our planet. Her examples of her own experiences with wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and interactions with fire as a conscious force demonstrate the practical uses of IIC and how helpful these relationships can be. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in exploring Intuitive Interspecies Communication.”

Barbara Shor

DVM, Animal Communicator and author of Soul of the Wild

“This is way more than a book. Restoring Sacred Relations is an artistic masterpiece, a scholarly milestone, profoundly poetical, powerfully transformative. Eleni’s work inspires deep introspection, transformative thinking and (re-)turning to ancient practices through which people can delve into the sanctity of what it truly means to be part of, not apart from, Nature—in all her wonders and glory. This book will be life-changing for her readers; it will shake societal outlooks. It will serve as a cornerstone for modern humans as they rekindle their connections with all of Nature and arrive at a gentle, tranquil, harmonious way of being in the world. A truly wondrous work of art and insight, which will be invaluable in our science-IIC journey going forward.”

Dr Lynne Shannon

Deputy Director, Marine and Antarctic Research for Innovation and Sustainability (MARIS), Head, Marine Sustainability Lab, University of Cape Town, South Africa

“Restoring Sacred Relations by Eleni Gkikakis is a profound reminder that our innate ability to connect with other beings has been drowned out by our hectic pace of life. In this critical time of our planet’s history—when wars are ravaging, climate change is accelerating, and wildlife extinction is beckoning—this book calls us to act with empathy, love, and compassion, rather than merely relying on intellectual or technical approaches to conservation and activism. With a compelling blend of neuroscience, ecology, and ancient wisdom, Eleni shows that interspecies communication is not something we have to learn, but something we must remember by returning to the intelligence of the heart. She reawakens our capacity for deep empathy by inviting us to feel and embody the lives of other species, transforming the way we relate, act, and care.”

Sangita Iyer

Award-winning author of Gods in Shackles and Founder of Voices for Asian Elephants

“I have met very few people who are as deeply and ferociously devoted to the well-being of Earth as Eleni, and yet she’s one of the most humble people I know. She has always been a brilliant storyteller, and seeing some of her experiences articulated for the rest of the world to read brings me such deep joy. She has made the numinous tangible, with her beautifully simple, soul-nourishing frameworks, grounded in western and indigenous science. Her practical steps offer a path to spiritual healing and holistic action that are as easy to use while camping or at a corporate job—I hope to see them being applied in schools, hospitals, boardrooms and anywhere else where humans gather. The personal experiences shared in Restoring Sacred Relations offer compelling evidence that reclaiming our ancestral ability to communicate with Nature is not only possible, but critically essential in the co-creation of our shared future with the rest of life on Earth. For anyone who needs it, Eleni’s message not only brings hope, but awakens a defiantly reverent leonine power and inspires an equine grace of internal leadership. This book will help to catapult humanity’s co-evolution both with our beloved planet, and within the greater Cosmos.”
