1. Introduction

Want to extend your connection to the trees and their healing powers? Want to expand your connection with the elements of nature? Want to deepen your understanding of yourself and your energy? Want to be more connected to the Earth and universal energies?

This “Energy of Nature” Workshop Level 2 is a three-day programme for those who have taken the Level 1 Workshop. Participants will deepen their intuitive relationship with plants and trees and their perception of the different healing powers of trees. They will deepen their connection with and understanding of the different elements in nature related to the chakras and their energy. They will strengthen their ability to become grounded and centred, to be more connected to the Earth and universal energies, and to their spiritual heart. They will also experience conveying different types of healing energy to other people. Participants will also explore the qualities of crystals, and how to use them to enhance and balance energy.

The three-day workshop explores and practises the following aspects:

• Grounding-centring and being at one with our spiritual heart.
• Spending time with a companion tree.
• Deepening of the perception of supportive and healing trees.
• Deepening of the perception of the five elements in nature -- earth, water, fire, air and ether -- their qualities and their various healing powers.
• Conveying the healing energy of a tree to other people.

About the Kadoorie Earth Programme

This experience is brought to you by the Kadoorie Earth Programme (KEP).

Kadoorie Earth Programme is being co-created by KFBG and its network of collaborators and volunteers. By integrating the various strands of KFBG’s nature conservation, sustainable living and holistic education programmes, it provides life-transforming learning experiences that reconnect people with themselves, each other and the rest of nature and enable them to cultivate resilience in the face of climate change, economic uncertainty and other related challenges. Facilitated by leading educators, KEP guides participants to experience a paradigm shift, to let go of the same way of thinking that created the problems and open their hearts to new ways of knowing and acting. We invite you to be part of this unfolding initiative, to make a difference together in this world.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”
