Dr Claire Elouard|Level One|5-day Residential Workshop 2025

Have you ever explored the elements of nature and their unique qualities? Have you felt a deep connection with trees or practiced perceiving nature’s energy?

Nature’s energy surrounds us—in the soil beneath our feet, the air we breathe, and the food we consume. By consciously connecting with this energy, we can explore the natural world more profoundly, fostering harmony and stability within ourselves and tapping into nature's healing powers.

This workshop invites participants to cultivate a deep awareness of their intuitive relationship with nature, focusing on trees and plants. Through engaging experiential activities, you will enhance your perception of energy and develop your intuition. Supported by academic insights, you will discover the intricate communication that occurs between plants and trees in the forest.

Additionally, we will explore the five elements of nature—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—their distinct qualities, and their healing attributes. Join us to deepen your connection with yourself and experience the supportive, healing energy of nature.
