About the event
By connecting to the present moment, the practice of grounding establishes a solid foundation that enables you to remain focused and calm while alleviating fears and anxieties linked to past traumas or future concerns. This allows you to fully embrace the ‘here and now’.
During this one day workshop, participants will be guided by Dr Claire Elouard to nurture self-awareness and empathy for themselves and others, with an open heart. This not only lightens the body but also soothes the mind and boosts emotional well-being.
This transformative journey will support you to enhance your grounding, deepening your heart connection, and discovering inner harmony, making it easier to navigate the challenges of daily life.
KFBG 70th Anniversary – Awakening of Memory
The Grounding and Connecting with the Heart workshop is part of the celebrations marking the special occasion of KFBG’s 70th anniversary. It integrates a wider series of activities curated to deepen our connection with the Earth.
Guided by the theme ‘awakening of memory’, these gatherings call us to remember our place within the greater community of beings. This anniversary is an invitation – to return, to remember and to share the stories that bind us to this living landscape of KFBG’s mountain and the Earth itself. It is about how we live in the present and the future we shape together – deepening the dialogue between people and nature, and carrying this shared legacy forward in an ever-changing world.
