"Transform through nature. Evolve from within."
At the heart of Leaf and Hook is the principle that we all have untapped potential that can be reached through the power of nature and holistic practices.
The Leaf represents growth, healing, and the nurturing energy that comes from our connection to the natural world, while the Hook signifies the bonds we form and the lasting impact of transformative experiences. Through carefully designed activities—ranging from outdoor survival training to restorative wellness retreats—Leaf and Hook empowers individuals to push beyond their limitations, build resilience, and achieve balance in their lives.
Whether you're a corporate executive seeking clarity and focus, an individual yearning for personal growth, or someone ready to embrace nature's lessons, Leaf and Hook provides a pathway to transformation. By immersing participants in holistic tools, nature-based experiences, and mindful practices, I help guide people to unlock their full potential and lead more purposeful lives.
Leaf and Hook is the embodiment of my lifelong vision to reconnect people with nature, community, and their true potential. My early years spent in the mountains of Lebanon instilled in me a deep belief that nature holds the power to heal and transform. Over the years, as I traveled the world, from the deserts of the UAE to the peaks of the Himalayas, and the forests of Europe to the rugged terrains of Iceland, I witnessed firsthand how different environments can empower and rejuvenate the human spirit. These global experiences, spanning countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Poland, Spain, Austria, Germany, India, and Italy, have shaped the mission of Leaf and Hook: to offer people the tools and experiences needed to unlock their best selves.
"Guiding your evolution, shaped by my own journey."
As the first Arab Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor in the MENA region, I’ve spent over seven years guiding people through powerful breathwork practices, outdoor survival training, and team-building programs. My certifications span multiple breathwork modalities and survival training. I also created Prana Harmony, a unique blend of live multi-instrumental music and breathwork journeys designed to foster deep healing and transformation. Over the course of my global career, I’ve had the privilege to work with thousands of people in large-scale expeditions, including 400-person events and world-class wellness festivals. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with high-profile leaders and internationally recognized figures, offering tailored experiences that foster resilience, clarity, and personal growth.
My mission is to help people break through their barriers and access their inner strength. Whether I’m working with corporate teams to foster resilience and mental clarity or leading individuals on immersive nature-based retreats, I am committed to providing a space where growth can happen. By combining my background in the arts, wellness, and adventure, I offer a holistic approach that encourages lasting transformation, helping people find balance, strength, and purpose in their everyday lives.
I am Bechara El Khoury, originally from Lebanon, and I’ve been based in Dubai since 2012. As a trilingual expert, I speak Arabic, English, and French. My journey toward wellness and personal growth is deeply rooted in my childhood experiences, particularly learning about nature and animals from my grandmother starting at the age of 5. These early lessons opened up a different dimension of understanding the world, shaping my love for nature and adventure. As a young scout, I was immersed in outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and endurance sports, all of which built my resilience and connection to the natural world. Alongside these adventures, I pursued my passion for music, becoming a multi-instrumentalist, and later a filmmaker. These diverse influences shaped my unique approach to personal transformation and growth.
