This is a golden opportunity for children to open up all their five senses by exploring the forest. They will receive blessings from Mother Earth, and in turn can express their gratitude to nature for the beauty and richness it brings to our lives. By observing the colours and patterns of trees and their leaves, kids can slowly uncover the secret vibrancy of the forest. By listening to the whisperings of the trees and the noises of the animals that inhabit this ecosystem, they can understand how we coexist with nature – and the importance of protecting it. We are delighted to present this three-day programme that allows children to experience nature to the full within the inspirational environment of KFBG.
