About the Author: Tanya Pergola Ph.D.
Born in the United States to parents of Russian and Italian ancestry, Dr. Tanya Pergola was drawn to Africa soon after she completed her doctoral studies in sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle. For over a decade in Tanzania, she helped implement sustainable development projects through the humanitarian organization Terrawatu, which she co-founded and co-directs; as well as undertaking a comprehensive apprenticeship with Maasai traditional healers. Combining indigenous Maasai teachings and wisdom with her studies as a Vedic Master at the Chopra Center, founded by Deepak Chopra, she currently guides healing safaris, yoga, meditation and healthy lifestyle classes. Her primary nest is in Miami, Florida and she flies from there to her homes in South Africa and Tanzania.
When American sociologist and wellness expert Tanya Pergola first visited Tanzania and Maasailand, she became startlingly aware that she was in a place and with people who could teach her something profound. She sensed that lodged within the colorful and beautiful rituals and ceremonies of the indigenous Maasai people were gems of wisdom that could be harvested and shared as antidotes for our increasingly complex, stressful, and often enigmatic modern lives.

Dr. Pergola undertook a ten-year apprenticeship with Maasai traditional healers, led by her guide Lekoko Ole Sululu, in exchange for implementing sustainable development projects in Tanzania. In "Time is Cows" she shares the mind-body-spirit medicine of the Maasai, the proud pastoral people of East Africa.

In a voice that is at once crystal clear and spiritually alive--one that thousands around the world have already come to know in her talks and classes on wellness, yoga, and nature healing--her insight, inspiration, and empathy are present on every page as she shares her own knowledge and the wisdom of the Maasai compassionately and wholly.

Enriched with photographs, stories and "suggested practice" tips, "Time is Cows" is a handbook to help you simplify your life as you uncover its profound meaning.
