Come, Nature is calling you…
Whispers on the Mountain is a collection of gifts from Nature, in the form of prose, poetry, and photographs. Its pages will transport you to the small Hawaiian island of Kaua‘i, and up to the mountain area known as Kōke‘e, where you’ll experience the wild places of Nature. Step into this book and find glimpses of beauty, moments of wonder, and the presence of a very alive natural world.
Spending time connecting with Nature is not an indulgent luxury, but the antidote to living in a human-focused world – a world that leaves us feeling over-stressed, over-tired, pre-occupied and too often cut off from the healing energy and vitality of Nature. If you are seeking a sense of well-being, let Whispers on the Mountain speak to your heart and inspire you to bring Nature’s touch into your life.
Based on years of study of Shamanism, Kapua approaches this book with the mindset of honoring the life and awareness in all of the natural world. From her deep and personal connection with Nature, she shares with you some of her experiences in this lush and vibrant environment.
The book is divided into five sections, beginning with “Moments of Wonder,” those special occasions when time seems to stop, and you find yourself immersed in a sense of awe. These are moments that let you step out of your small humanness and become aware that you are a part of a larger Universe, vast, unpredictable, and magical. Kapua next turns to “The Elements,” with selections about Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, and a look at some selected plants and animals. Each of these is approached, not in some abstract or intellectual way, but as a personal interaction. This is followed by encounters with the “Magical Places” found in this mountain forest environment. In the section “Creating a New Connection,” we are encouraged to consider how we relate to this world on which we were born. Then in “Cycles and Seasons” we step back for a larger overview of our planet and its ever-turning rhythms.
In these pages you may find not only a beautiful and intimate vision of Kaua‘i, but may also hear the whispers of Nature calling to your own heart.

For the past 15 years, Kapua has spent much of her free time wandering in nature’s wild beauty on the island of Kauai. This, combined with her long time study of the Shamanic mindset, has led her to a deep connection with Nature. Increasingly, she was drawn to express the wonder of these places in a way that could be shared with others, so that they might be inspired to make such a connection for themselves.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
