Patrice Bouchardon
In 1985 Patrice Bouchardon accepted, at five days,’ notice an invitation to take temporary charge of a large farm in his native France, with more than a hundred head of livestock. He knew nothing whatsoever about farms, animals, or even about living in the country. This complete lack of knowledge compelled him to abandon the usual mental system in favour of simply paying attention to the animals to understand their needs. This extraordinary experience made him aware of the vast possibilities of the mind, and led to a new understanding of life. He then spent several months living in the depths of the forest so he could explore the wealth of the world of trees through the same kind of apprenticeship. There were many surprises in store. These experiences led Bouchardon to create his energized tree oils, which after 10 years are still revealing new aspects of their capacity to help us heal, change, and grow. The secrets of this approach are passed on in his regular workshops to a growing number of people who are discovering for themselves the healing power of trees. Most important of all, those who attend them find new resources for understanding themselves, and a catalyst for developing their creativity and finding new solutions to their problems.
