Three 3-day workshops for adults and children, to refresh and renew over the holidays.
The pace of life in Hong Kong is incredibly fast, but the disruptions brought by Covid-19 has forced many of us to re-examine our lifestyle. As our travel options this holiday season is drastically curtailed, we invite you to spend your time differently, to explore more profound topics and ponder deeper questions that can rejuvenate our everyday life.
In parallel with the workshops for adults, we are also offering workshops for children aged 3 to 11 – a mindful, active way for the little ones to enjoy the holidays!
To start from December 14, 2020. May choose from: adults only, children only, or adults plus children together. Scroll down for details!
For adults
Adult workshops
Talks accompanied by experiential movement, drama, speech, and social activities.
For children
Adult's workshops
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Modern adults are used to being told information – what, how, where, when, why.
This time, we invite you to experience the reverse. Discover your answer to the big questions by participating in group experiences and discussions!
The workshops will unpack deeper and deeper understandings in Anthroposophy.
You are encouraged to join either or both of the first two blocks before joining the last one, but it is not a must.
Block 1 – To see the world in a grain of sand
Introduction to Anthroposophy as a Spiritual Science

Block 3 – The human soul, in reverent gratitude, rise to the spirit of the world
A look at Biography from an Anthroposophical perspective
- We will be camping this week at Yi O Farm – a beautiful farm tucked away in southwest Lantau Island. Immersed in nature and quietude, we will together look at the question of one’s journey through life – biography.

Children's holiday camp
We aim at providing a balanced experience of doing, feeling and thinking in a way that stimulates (unplugged!) fun, creativity and a sense of well-being. Each day will be a joyful journey through imaginative play, circle games, songs and stories.
For children with parents participating in the Adult Workshops, they will enjoy having fun with friends while being in close proximity to their loved ones!
Children aged 3 to 7 will enjoy a harmonious environment where rhythm and structure encourage opportunities for play and artistic activities. Older children from 8 to 11 will be given more freedom to choose their own activities at school.
In Block 3, from December 28 to 30, we will join the adults in camping at Yi O Farm, a beautiful farm tucked away in southwest Lantau Island. Children will enjoy rollicking in hay, planting seedlings, harvesting ripe produce, and cooking with the freshest ingredients!
Children below 9 years old should be accompanied by an adult.
