Flamingo Estate's founder, Richard Christiansen, invites you inside his home and to meet his friends and heroes. Presenting fifteen pleasure principles inspired by nature's wisdom, Christiansen reveals how a deep relationship with nature offers a life of pleasure and joy.
Discover how to flirt like an orchid, embrace winters like a plum tree, work like wisteria, and court your shadow like the fern. Combining hundreds of images and luxurious rituals for well-being with stories from Christiansen's own journey of awakening, Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive is a rousing call to reject a life of tedium and luxuriate in the radical pleasures of the natural world.
