1. Introduction

Want to practise your grounding, the opening of your heart, your relationship with trees?

You are most welcome to come and spend one day together practising and sharing our perceptions and experiences. We will go deeper into our connection with the soil’s energy and our anchoring and stability; we will explore how we open our heart and our perception of its opening; and we will practise connecting with various trees.

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions coming from your own practice in nature and in your daily life, share your experiences and listen to others’ experiences that will enrich your knowledge and perception.

It will be a day of connection, of joy, of happiness, of empathy, of emotions, of discoveries, of wonders, and of oneness.

About the Kadoorie Earth Programme

This experience is brought to you by the Kadoorie Earth Programme (KEP).

Kadoorie Earth Programme 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 enable 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 problems 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.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”
