Have you heard about the elements of nature and their different qualities and energies? Have you connected deeply with trees? Have you practised your perception of nature’s energy and feeling your own energy?
Nature’s energy is ever-present in our lives, in the soil we walk on, in the air we breathe and in the food we eat. So, when we consciously connect with the energy of nature, we explore the natural world in a deeper way. This can help us to find harmony and stability within ourselves in our daily life, and get us in touch with the healing powers of nature.
This Level One 5-day Residential Workshop guides participants towards the cultivation of a deep awareness of their intuitive relationship with nature, particularly with trees and plants. Through experiential activities, participants will understand and enhance their conscious perception of energy and develop their intuition. They will also deepen their connection with themselves and their own qualities, and with nature and its supportive and healing energy. An exploration of the five elements in nature (earth, water, fire, air and ether), their different qualities and healing powers will be conducted during the workshop.
The experiential activities* allow participants to explore and practise the following aspects:
● Identification of one’s perception of energy in oneself and in nature.
● One’s connection to the Earth (grounding and anchoring) and its energy.
● Stability on body, mind and spiritual levels.
● Connection with the spiritual heart and practice of centring.
● Development of one’s intuition.
● Choice of a tree with which to establish a personal relationship.
● Energy of the trees and their different qualities and healing powers.
● Introduction to the five elements in nature (earth, water, fire, air and ether), their qualities and expression in nature and in ourselves, and their healing powers.
● Identification of places replenishing our energy.
● Guided contemplations on nature.
*Note: the workshop’s agenda and contents may be modified depending on weather conditions, and other external factors, in accordance with Dr Claire Elouard’s professional advice.
