Trees, resilient and fragile, have found solutions to adapt permanently and have colonised the planet for 350 million years. A walk in the forest soothes us and contributes to our well-being; what if trees could also inspire us in our lives and relationships? By awakening our senses, we will meet trees and reflect on this question.

This outing is an invitation to go deep into a forest, to melt into nature and stop in front of the trees. We will observe them, feel the atmosphere, smell the air and imagine (or listen to) the whispers of nature. 


We will discuss the origin and function of these whispers, what they evoke in us and what inspiration they might give to our lives.


The empirical observations of our ancestors and modern science will guide us. Connecting this knowledge to our feelings can be a great catalyst for solutions to our daily challenges.  


Ernst Zürcher's research and publications will help us in our approach; they will allow us, for example, to establish parallels between the ways in which plants interact with our own and to extract ingredients that could help us in our daily lives.


This day can be organised as a timeless journey, a workshop or a team building event for companies. In all cases it will be about positioning ourselves as full members of nature and developing new individual and collective perspectives.
