She is the author of the books “Rewilding The Senses,” “Even The Caterpillar Sings,” and “ReachingBeyond,” along with many professional articles. Growing up on a farm, Ida developed a profound bond with the natural world, surrounded by the rhythms of animals, forests, and fields. Especially close to her horse, she felt its warm breath, steady heartbeat, and quiet companionship as a bridge to the heart of nature. Here, she first learned that all beings cherish their lives and share the same desire to live as we do. This understanding awakened her to the inherent intelligence, preciousness, and irreplaceable worth within every living thing, woven together in the vast, tender fabric of nature. For it’s in the hushed whispers of the forest and the gentle lapping of waves that we find the deepest realms of human existence. Nature is not just a place; it’s the breath of our soul.
