Escape the city and join a professional Forest Therapy Guide for a forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) walk in Nuuksio National Park.
Humans have known the healing effects of nature for millennia. Forest bathing method was developed in Japan in the 80’s to help reduce the stress of professional urban populations. It is an evidence-based, holistic practice that boosts the health benefits of nature, promotes relaxation and actually improves the immune system.
Meet your guide at the front doors of Haltia (or for private groups, your chosen pick-up location). We enter the taiga coniferous forest and dive into the fascinating world of sounds, smells, textures, colours and shapes. You pause to listen nature's calming sounds, breathe in the fresh air and let go of any worries. The guide invites you to do easy sensory, breathing and nature connection activities to help you let go and be present. You reconnect with nature – and yourself. Your soul is filled with peace.
We conclude with aromatherapeutic oil, sharing our experiences and enjoying Finnish wild bilberry juice.
