Dr Claire Elouard|Connecting with the Energy of Nature | Workshops and Events 2025

This autumn, we are delighted to announce the return of Dr Claire Elouard to Hong Kong in 2025, offering a unique opportunity to deepen your connection with the natural world through intuitive practices. From late September to October, we invite you to participate in our series of ‘Connecting with the Energy of Nature’ workshops, thoughtfully designed for both alumni and new participants, with options including 1-day workshops, immersive 5-day Level One residential workshop, and 3-day Level Two and Three residential workshops.

These workshops are designed to help you cultivate a conscious connection with nature, enriching your relationship with its elements and nurturing a profound understanding of yourself, shares Dr. Claire Elouard. ‘In this way, people can get help from nature in their daily lives, fostering a sense of grounding, positivity and resilience when facing life’s challenges.’

Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature, engage deeply with its elements, and enhance your self-awareness. We warmly invite you to join us for this enriching experience, where you can connect with Claire and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world at KFBG in Hong Kong. Embrace the benefits of being grounded, cultivate a positive mindset, and navigate life’s challenges with renewed strength and grace.
