"Poems for the Lost Deer" by Robin Lysne &  

"Heart Path Handbook: an Energy 
Medicine Guide for Therapists and Healers"

Many years ago Robin Lysne had a transformational encounter with 7 white Fallow deer in the Point Reyes National Seashore. It was a turning point for her, and the beginning of her career as a writer, teacher and healer. Some time after the NPS had killed off the Fallow and Axis deer that roamed the Pt. Reyes Peninsula, Robin was working on her MFA at Mills College and heard about what had happened to the deer. She was in shock and grief upon hearing the news....and she had to find out what had really happened. So she started researching the news clips and interviewing people on both sides of the issue-including park rangers, locals and Anthony DeNicola, the head of White Buffalo Inc., a company founded to exterminate species of animals. Robin's quest became her MFA thesis and her book "Poems for the Lost Deer" is the result of her journey to find the truth and honor the animal spirits that once were part of our landscape here.
