1. Nature / Objectives

This three-week self-guided online course presented by Dr. Claire Elouard is an approach to connect with nature and trees and the various Elements of nature– Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

The first week of the course explores the different Elements of nature and their healing powers. It includes a video talk and some audio exercises on some of the qualities of these elements and healing powers that can help us in our personal development and in dealing with some difficult situations in our life. The participants will be able to do these exercises indoor or outdoor.

The second week explores our connection with trees and their qualities. A video talk will first describe the communication of trees and how to develop our connection with trees. Audio exercises will guide us in our connection with trees and in our perception of some of their qualities. The participants will do these exercises outdoor with trees in a park or in a forest.

The third week is an interactive week. Participants can bring their questions and interact with Claire through online meeting sessions.
