Spectators will be invited to discover the beauty and faculties of Geneva’s trees through some twenty works presented by Ingrid Kaufmann, an artist who works to promote Switzerland’s tree heritage.
Thanks to the guidance of the specialists, Ingrid went to meet these remarkable Geneva trees. She identified them, photographed them, and visited them every season for three years. Then, in her studio, Ingrid selected the best takes to paint them afterward with a technique she developed herself.
Each painting with a tree will be accompanied by technical sheets produced by the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva, as well as informative panels on trees through various approaches, biological, historical, economic, mythological, social, environmental, etc., this thanks to the participation of the director of research at the CNRS in Paris, Andrée Corvol-Dessert.

Listen to the “music” of the trees depicted in the artist’s paintings at Villa Dutoit. For this, the nurseryman Jean Thoby uses sensors placed in the roots, branches, and leaves of trees, to transform the vibrations emitted by the venerable woodpeckers into musical notes. Jean Thoby will bring from the south of France, where he lives, the necessary material to record our trees. He will also give us a conference based on his research at the Center Nature La Libellule.

Reduce stress, strengthen your immune system, relax your body and mind with the beneficial effects of forest baths.“The Forest Bath “is a meditative and sensory walk to meet the physical and psychological benefits of Nature.
Accompanied by a guide, participants are invited to an experience of contemplative immersion to meet the beings of the forest and nature.
Coming from Japan, the practice of Forest Bath, Shinrin-Yoku in Japanese, is a gentle activity of mindfulness and dialogue with the living, in oneself, and around oneself.
The Forest Bath has proven its beneficial effects for humans (reduction of stress, strengthening of the immune system, relaxation of body and mind) and nature (ecological awareness, awareness of other forms of life).
It is an accompaniment to listening to the perceptions of each one, a time of connection to oneself and others, framed with gentleness and benevolence, in the opening of the senses, the presence on the moment and the dialogue with the trees and the ‘elementary. beings of the undergrowth.
This active meditation in Nature does not require any particular physical condition and is open to all. The activity lasts about 2.5 hours, between a walk and time for group discussions and creativity. “
Two outings in the Geneva woods will be organized by Carine Roth, Shamanic Fss Practitioner, Rite of Passage and Nature Therapy GuideSaturday.

What does it mean to be in a network, to communicate, to transmit? To experience living in oneself through the senses, interior, and exterior movement, placement in space, relationship to others. Where are our roots? To be born, to breathe, to grow, to grow, to develop, to live, to experience the seasons, etc. This is the concept of this workshop for young and old.
