Immerse yourself in the mountains, listen to the story of “Little Fish”, appreciate the beauty of sound and rhythm, and feel the joy of being present.

This journey combines the “Little Fish” story, written by the Chairman of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Andrew McAulay, with the musical arrangement of singing bowl artist, Tsang Man Tung.

Arriving at the peak of Kwun Yum Shan at sunset, bask in the wonder of a singing bowl performance and bathe your heart in nature.

Participants will walk from the lower area of KFBG (altitude: 180 metres) up to the summit of Kwun Yum Shan (altitude: 552 metres). It will take about 90 minutes of slow walking to arrive at the summit. As there is some mild exertion involved with walking uphill, this workshop is probably not suitable for people who have heart problems, high blood pressure or knee problems. Also, all participants are requested to respect other participants by maintaining silence throughout the journey.

About the Kadoorie Earth Programme
Kadoorie Earth Programme (KEP) is a new initiative that 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 enables 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 problems¹ 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.
