As a kickoff event in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, UC Davis Mental Health Initiative hosted a “Zoom with Llamas” live stream from Llamas of Circle Home. Link of the event below.

The llamas have once again brought their bright spirits to campus this academic year during the fall 2019 finals season and brought joy and good energy to the curious minds making their way through Memorial Glade.

My name is George Caldwell. Friends, call me Geo. I have been working with llamas for 37 years, taking them to the mountains, llama shows, nursing homes, schools, weddings, corporate rollouts and Rotary Club meetings. My eyes have seen the excitement, laughter, smiles and joy that the llamas bring to people of all ages and ethnicities. In 2005, my wife and I made the journey to Peru to try to understand the culture that produced these amazing creatures.

Dublin High School students and staff got a chance to "share the llama love" this week when four therapy animals from Llamas of Circle Home in Sonora dropped by the campus, said owner George Caldwell. Students got some face time with the gentle animals and fed llamas carrots by their teeth, to help train the llamas to maintain eye contact, Caldwell said.

The Llama was dreamed into existence to communicate at the Soul Level by the Spiritual Leaders of the Ancients of the Andes. There is a constellation in the sky of the Southern Hemisphere that can only be seen in its full content and context from high in the Mountains. Known to the Ancients as Hatun Mayu, the Milky Way shines so bright with their magnitude undiminished by Earth's atmosphere. There you can see black void in the Milky Way that is shaped in the form of a Llama. This "Black Llama" features the two brightest stars in the Southern Hemisphere, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, the "Eyes of the Llama". When there is no moon and no clouds you can see a baby llama stretching up to it's Mother's neck.

Final exams are approaching at one of America’s elite universities, and the atmosphere might be tense – if it weren’t for eight hairy campus visitors.

On Friday, students flocked to UC Berkeley’s Memorial Glade for Llamapalooza, a human-llama social occasion on a sunny campus lawn. The eight animals were scattered throughout the crowd, munching grass while the adoring masses petted, fed and photographed them under the supervision of trained student volunteers.

The llamas I met above Patacancha already behave as alpacas. Above Patacancha there were roundly 100 alpacas/alpaca like llamas being herded by one woman. The herd behaved with a sense of panic - espescially when I tried to walk into the herd to learn about them.
