The free spirited dolphin is a signssignsificant symbol for cultures around the world and one of the few mammals that make the sea its home. From our earliest recorded histories to the present; these frolicking free spirits of the sea have inspired associations with unrestrained joy, playfulness, spontaneity and spiritual enlightenment.

A pod of dolphins offered real protection to ancient mariners, as they gave early warning of coming storms and unseen dangers in the water. In many First Nations traditions the dolphin is a bridge to the sea. The swift moving dolphin brings knowledge from the sea, a connection to self and an awareness of body in both musical tone and breathing control. Today these kind and intelligent guides from the sea continue to teach us the value of cooperation, harmony and the pure joy of life.
