Did you know that Wolves are very articulate speakers, with a complex language that needs to be studied to learn it, just like learning another Human language? The Brother Wolf Center is conducting a research project to broaden our understanding of Wolf language, and in this presentation our director Tamarack Song shares all that we have so far discovered. He answers these questions:

• Why is Wolf language largely silent?
• What’s in a face (a Wolf face, that is)?
• Why do Wolves keep their faces so clean, even to the point of licking each other’s faces?
• Do Wolves — and Humans — speak better standing up or sitting down?
• Why do Wolves have narrow skulls yet wide faces?
• How do Wolves communicate instantaneously?
• What are the many reasons that Wolves howl, and when do they not howl?
• Wouldn’t it make more sense for Wolves to be entirely a camouflaged grizzled gray, rather than having multicolored heads and necks?

And that’s just for starters. But first, let’s address this question: Why study Wolf language in the first place? One reason is that it helps to understand Human language. For a number of reasons (which we explore in this presentation), our communication has become largely verbally oriented. Body language, intuition, and emotional nuances often go undetected. Not so with Wolves. With their nonverbal language skills, they can teach us how to be more emotionally articulate and expressive of the voice of our hearts, along with our rational voices.

After this workshop, you will be well on your way to becoming a Wolf Whisperer — and a more fully expressive Human.
