Beneath the Chatter: the wise self awaits – A Contemplative Photography Companion for the Journey Home.
If ever a book could inspire you into a new way of viewing life, this is it. Beneath the Chatter is an engaging contemplative verbal and visual experience both wise and whimsical, with gentle and yet raw honesty. It is like having a conversation with your most wise self within.
Tina FireWolf publishes her first book and energizes audiences with her stories and photography from Beneath the Chatter. She describes it as “a book that will stir you to ask yourself questions, to allow yourself to feel, and inspire you to see life for yourself.”
After eight years of studying and teaching what she called “The Science of Self” she followed the urgings of students and colleagues. “You really need to be a motivational speaker. You should write a book.”
She sold her home, all her belongings and life became a wild ride to write the book. When moving to Asheville five years ago FireWolf began many solo vision quests to find her wise self within. “I had to get the fearful chatter to stop in my head so I sat on rocks with nothing, for hours at a time and camped solo, always leaving pen and paper at home. I stripped myself of everything so I could stop.”
FireWolf is trained in the fields of biology, education, and interfaith ministry, and is a self-taught photographer who does not alter her images in anyway. She has years of adventure travel under her belt. It is her goal to combine her experiences and create a bridge extending the reach of self-leadership and contemplative practice by presenting life’s lessons in such a way that learning is lighthearted and easily digestible.
Included throughout the book are Everyday Enlightenment Tips that assist the reader in connecting to a heightened intimacy with themselves, others and the mystery in the natural world. These tips are well worn by FireWolf herself who even fits in moments of meditation while brushing her teeth!
“Beneath the Chatter is a deeply honest offering that infused me with peace, tranquility and hope.” Bill Tipper - Photographer / Author - The Nature of Yoga
