1. Nature / Objectives

This two-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.

Prior to the course, there is a welcoming online session. Participants can meet Claire and learn more about the coming workshop. 

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 the difficult situations in our life. The participants will be able to do these exercises indoor or outdoor.

There is an online meeting session at the end of the week, where participants can bring questions and interact with Claire.

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.

There is a closing online meeting session at the end of the week, where participants can bring along their questions to interact with Claire and share their experience with one another.
