Meeting the Spirit of Nature

The unconditional beauty and power of nature changes people. Being at Bergplaas Nature Reserve allows you to meet and rediscover this Spirit of Nature as an inspiration for your actions. Nature provides you with confidence and support for the decisions that you need to make for yourself and for others.

It is our Core Mission to enable you to find, restore and develop this personal inner connection with Nature. This Core Mission has been incorporated in all our activities. 

The philosophy of 'Meeting the Spirit of Nature' is offered to organisation leaders and experts in Dutch and South African companies and institutions, as well as individual guests. It has been developed by Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld and is supported by the Dutch Lippe-Biesterfeld NatureCollege Foundation. This Foundation is dedicated to restoring the inner relationship between people and nature, aiming for a sustainable future for all life. Please read more about this Common Goal.
