Dialogue With Nature

Více o knize

People who converse with trees, dolphins, and the sun are often seen as eccentric, especially when they are European Royals. In this intimate account, Princess Irene, sister of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, shares her deep connection with nature. She reflects on her childhood, where the natural world was a true friend amidst the pressures of royal life. Following her marriage's end with Prince Carlos of Spain, she sought to become an 'ordinary' person, engaging with disadvantaged women. This journey led her to a crisis, prompting her to shed the structures of her life and rediscover her childhood bond with nature. Through this intense learning process, she rejected the prevailing 'doom and gloom' narrative about the earth's future, embracing instead a life-affirming perspective. She believes that everyone can communicate with nature, enhancing their lives and understanding what the earth needs from humanity. Now, after integrating the various realities of her life, Princess Irene dedicates herself to helping others develop their own connections with the natural world.
