Muriel Lindsay

Muriel Lindsay currently resides on Tybee Island, a barrier island off the coast of Georgia where she has lived for nine years. Her interest in dolphins and whales began long before she was able to live in such ongoing proximity with them. In another book underway, she recounts the story of how these sea mammals, as well as whales, have always been in her life and consciousness, in one way or another, even when she was landlocked.

Muriel's career path involved many years of counseling others and working in the healing arts and teaching about consciousness. Writing and photography have always been there, woven into the fabric of whatever else she was doing or pursuing. She wrote and self published Dancers Over the Chasm over 20 years ago describing the kinds of people that handle transformative change the best. More recently, in 2005, she self published, unofficially, Talking To Hurricanes, a fictional account about one man's journey into discovery of his abilities to communicate with forces of nature.

Always, though, her passion has been to follow the beckoning of her friends in the
sea, to open to what the human and dolphin and whale connection is about underneath all the theories and speculations and to find a way to honor it and inspire others to do likewise. She has traveled all over the globe to awe-inspiring places in nature and to grounds of much indigenous wisdom. Even as this traveling broadened and expanded her interest in ever deepening understanding of what it is to be human, it also kept bringing her back to her interest in the "other intelligence's" that live in the sea, knowing how deeply we are connected, for all our differences.

Muriel's interactions with dolphins have not been restricted to the ones in the Savannah River. She, along with documentary maker Hardy Jones (Bluevoice.org) and others have been to Japan to help a fisherman (who used to kill dolphins) launch Japan's first dolphin watching boat service. And she has been in the water off the coast of the Bahamas with the spotted dolphins out in the open ocean, able to connect with these beings without compromising their freedom yet getting plenty of genuine connection with them in some surprising ways. There have been other encounters as well which will be at the heart of her next book.

Chronicles of the Savannah River Dolphins is more than just a children's book, hopefully. Her intent is to awaken an awareness of our capacity to cross boundaries amongst all the creatures so that we all may better live in a world far more blessed and benign than anything we have ever known.

Muriel lives on Tybee with her two huskies and two cats, one a 17 year old resplendent elder and the other a young cantankerous mischief maker of the first order.
