About the Author

Dave Mountjoy Dave was born in rural west Worcestershire in the UK and spent most of his childhood on his mum’s family farm.It was in Scotland in particular that this love for the wild and wilderness really began to translate into a serious search for the self, for the pure source from which such staggering scenery was borne.. He met fear head-on and with it the understanding that death applies only to the body.It was during his last retreat at Findhorn that he met Diana and they now live with their two boys, Gabi and Elie on their farm in the foothills of the French Pyrenees.

Reviews“Dave Mountjoy writes movingly of how, by simply spending time with his cows, he found an unexpected sanctuary from grief, and a new awareness of gratitude, honesty and humility. He reveals how, in the presence of cows and without strain or effort, the mind is stilled, and the ego is shed. ‘Being With Cows’ is a testament to the innate goodness and compassion of cows, and to the feeling of benevolence they evoke in those who encounter them. It is, like the cows themselves, a tonic for the soul.” - Mary Costell
