Description
Profound insights on the connections between music, nature, and spirituality
• Shares lessons on music and life purpose the author has received from nature since childhood, including through her work in wolf conservation
• Shows how connecting with nature can help you discover your true calling, release your hidden talents, and lead to spiritual growth
• Explores how music and the harmonies of nature offer powerful means for fostering communication between souls
Internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso and founder of the Wolf Conservation Center, Hélène Grimaud shares her musical life’s journey and inspiring insights on the connections between music, nature, and spirituality.
In this book, Hélène offers the lessons she has learned about music and her life purpose from having direct contact with nature since childhood. She shares her concept of parent prodigies, such as her own, who can recognize the innate power and talents in their children and help guide them to self-realisation, often by facilitating encounters with nature. And she shows that connecting with nature spirits can help reveal your true calling.
She reveals how her work protecting wolves teaches her about being human, and how it connects her to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Hélène also explores how people create art to communicate the full spectrum of emotions. Self-knowledge and the understanding of any vocation is a vehicle for profound spiritual growth. From Lie Yukou’s True Classic of Perfect Emptiness and the compositions of Hildegard von Bingen, to the poetry of Novalis and Rimbaud, she details classics of spirituality, works of rebel poets, and the wisdom of shamans that serve as guides on her journey. These works and teachings reveal the connections between music and nature, including how music and the harmonies of nature offer powerful means for fostering the communication of souls.
Invoking the Wild Soul of Music reveals paths to rebirth, spiritual growth, and the re-enchantment of life. This memoir shows how to honour the call of the wild even in the heart of civilised modernity.
