Who & What is Cotton Wolf?
The company's name, Cotton Wolf, does require a little explanation. The company is named in memory of an Iditarod running, snow loving, adventuresome canid pal. Her common identification: an Alaskan husky with a coat the color and texture of cotton. And, she had a matching disposition—warm, soft, astonishingly strong.
Cotton Wolf is running on a new plane of existence now, but her inspiration still echoes here, in the programming, and in the company's connections curriculum.

Andrea's investigations of Arctic Ocean soundscapes and whale vocalizations markedly impacted her impressions of humanity's disconnections with the planet, with one another, and especially, with self.
She evolved Cotton Wolf from its roots in the art of storytelling to a sound therapy company engineered to compassionately address these disconnections.
