Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive

From world-famous lifestyle brand Flamingo Estate—a luxurious, visually rich guide to filling each day with radical pleasure, including illuminating wisdom on wellness, food, décor, nature, and more.

Perched high above Los Angeles and nestled within a lush orchard and verdant gardens sits Flamingo Estate, a pleasure-filled enclave of nature worship, folk mythologies, and powerful healing remedies. At Flamingo, Mother Earth is the ultimate luxury and pleasure is a human right.

In this enchanting guide, Flamingo Estate’s visionary founder Richard Christiansen invites you to immerse yourself in the alluring magic of the estate. Presenting fifteen pleasure principles inspired by nature's wisdom, Christiansen reveals how a deep relationship with earthly delights offers a life of transcendent pleasure and beauty.

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 sumptuous 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.
