What Readers are Saying
“Thanks for your wonderful book. I found it an intriguing blend of anthropology, healing, wellness, and self-discovery. I hope it finds a wide audience!”
“What I loved about this book is the genuine thread of healing that reaches from deep in the soul of Africa into the hustle and bustle of the Western mind. I congratulate the author for taking the courage to connect the dots between those cultures and giving us daily tools to work with.”
“Still this book is not a book only of self-discovery or Maasai culture - it is a book about an ancient wisdom that we all can tap into. This is the energy that will change the world.”
“In Maasai culture, cows are wealth. Each season, relationship, and pursuit revolves around their care. By truly attending to our own inner ‘wealth’—our bodies, our stories, our communities—we learn to live life at an abundant and joyful pace.”
