This volume is presented in the hope that the peace and healing that nature brought Princess Irene of the Netherlands will also help the reader realise that we are all part of a larger whole. The sister of Queen Beatrix of Holland, she shares her vulnerability and love of nature, which supported her throughout her turbulent life as a royal Princess and later her divorce and life as a single parent. At these times she turned to her friends in nature for refuge and solace, and there found peace and understanding. The last part of the book describes simple exercises which anyone should be able to benefit from.
