Do you often go to the forest to walk, relax or do a forest bath feeling the energy of the forest around you?
Do you feel a call to develop a stronger relationship with the energy of trees and build this into your daily practice?
Nature’s energy is ever-present in our life, in the food we eat, in the air we breathe and in the soil we walk on.
Connecting with the energy of nature helps us to explore a deeper connection with the natural world. Conscious connection with nature and its energy can help us in our daily life, to find harmony and stability within ourselves, and bring us in touch with the healing powers of nature. This connection can support our exploration of our own inner landscape with its individual qualities and strengths and deepen our positive qualities to be happier and more balanced in our daily life, thus opening the door to a more holistic lifestyle.
Dr Claire Elouard gives this foundational workshop for the first time in Belgium. Under her guidance you will learn how to tap into the special energy of trees, and understand their unique qualities which can help you in your practice to be more grounded, centered and connected to the heart.
At this 2-day workshop you will learn how to deepen your awareness of your intuitive relationship with nature, in particular with trees, and to strengthen your conscious connection with nature and its healing power.
Through various experiential activities you will perceive the subtle energy of nature and explore how the energy of trees and some of their qualities can help you to be more grounded, energized and centered (connected to the heart). You will learn how to connect into your intuition and develop a relationship with a companion tree.

ABOUT CLAIRE
French national Claire Elouard spent her early childhood in Senegal, Africa. She earned a Master of Biology degree and a PhD in forest ecology from Universities in France. The field work for her PhD was conducted in Indonesia. After 8 years conducting research in forest pathology and ecology in Malaysia and South India, Claire initiated and mentored an environmental project in 2001, in the Mumbai area, With the NGO Sukh Bhumi (www.sukhbhumi.org) and is now its advisor since 2015.
In her 'Energy of Nature' workshops, Claire goes far beyond the mainstream science of her university studies and explores our intuitive relationship with nature, which cannot be measured, but has to be sensed. She has been deeply connected with nature since childhood. She developed this connection by studying the Hindu philosophy of the five elements and their corresponding chakras.
She has been teaching people to communicate with nature and to sense its energies since 2004 in India, France, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. She guides people in developing their intuition to feel the natural energy of plants, and to use this energy for healing and energizing ourselves.
During her workshops, participants are given the opportunity to develop and sharpen their awareness of nature’s energies, in a natural park or botanic garden, surrounded by beautiful trees.
Dr Claire Elouard runs workshops on different levels:
- The 1-day introduction workshop is for those curious to explore the energy of nature.
- The 2-day foundational workshop takes the exploration deeper.
- The extended week-long workshops are designed for those wanting to apply and integrate the learnings to their professional or personal practice.
WHAT PAST STUDENTS SAY
"Embarking on the tree energy workshops with Claire has widened my perception of, and connection to, my inner personal environment. I have also deepened my understanding of the elemental energies (earth, water, fire, air) within me.
It’s not just a course on tree energy, it’s a pathway on how energy works and how it relates to us individually through the various exercises, and how we can draw support from the trees and all of Nature."
- Trinia Tjioe
"Claire’s courses are life giving, affirming and invigorating in so many ways that the effects are felt – in mind, body and spirit – for a long time after. Having attended Claire’s workshops both in-person and on Zoom, I love how her passion and wisdom about Nature and its energies always come through with such empowering clarity.
Her compassion and generosity make her an amazing teacher. Claire’s courses are more than a transference of amazing knowledge and experience. They’re about discovery and transformation, meditation and healing, wonder and awe at LIFE itself… and your very own place within it."
