Dave Mountjoy: Being With Cows

How Nature Can Heal

 

Join us for the launch of Being With Cows by Dave Mountjoy

 

Being with Cows tells the heartbreaking, heartfelt, and ultimately, transformational story of how one man, shattered by the sudden death of his brother, was helped to a place of acceptance and quiet joy through the presence and gentle stillness of his cows. It was a healing so deep and complete, that he realised others would benefit from his experience and the idea for the ‘Being with Cows’ retreats was born; a retreat where everyone can benefit from ‘cowfulness’ and the quiet journey to a simpler way of being.

An inspirational story about grief, family, mindfulness and the healing power of nature, Being with Cows is for anyone in search of inner peace and simplicity in an increasingly complex world.

Dave Mountjoy was born in rural Worcestershire in the UK and spent most of his childhood on his mum’s family farm. After leaving school, he developed a passion for travel, taking him to Israel, Uganda and on explorations around the British Isles. Working as a volunteer for the RSPB, his love and gratitude for the sheer majesty of the natural world was deepened by stays on nature reserves in England, Scotland and Wales. He lives on a farm in the French Pyrenees with his partner Diana and their two boys.

The event will be chaired by Gill Farrer-Halls of The Literary Consultancy.
