This autumn, as part of KFBG’s 70th anniversary celebrations, we are delighted to welcome back Dr Claire Elouard, following her visit to KFBG earlier this year from late March to April. Through her intuitive practices, Claire offers participants an opportunity to deepen their connection with the natural world and explore a more attentive relationship with themselves and their surroundings.

From mid-October to mid-November, Claire will lead a series of regular ‘Connecting with the Energy of Nature’ workshops, welcoming both new participants and alumni. The programme will include one-day workshops, a five-day Level One residential workshop and an alumni gathering. 

These workshops are designed to help you cultivate a conscious connection with nature, enriching your relationship with its elements and nurturing a profound understanding of yourself, according to Claire. ‘In this way, people can get help from nature in their daily lives, fostering a sense of grounding, positivity and resilience when facing life’s challenges,’ she says.

Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature, engage deeply with its elements and enhance your self-awareness. We warmly invite you to join us for this enriching experience, where you can connect with Claire and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world at KFBG in Hong Kong. Embrace the benefits of being grounded, cultivate a positive mindset and navigate life’s challenges with renewed strength and grace.

Meanwhile, we are also working with Claire to organise a series of special collaborative events to celebrate KFBG’s 70th anniversary. Further details will be announced soon. Please stay tuned for the latest programme updates and join us in exploring new ways to connect with nature.
