• 9GG67HW7+2HR - Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and join a skilled Forest Therapy Guide for a forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) experience in Nuuksio National Park.

For thousands of years, humans have recognized the healing power of nature. The practice of forest bathing was developed in Japan during the 1980s to alleviate the stress experienced by urban professionals. This evidence-based, holistic approach enhances the health benefits of nature, encourages relaxation, and even strengthens the immune system.

Meet the guide at the entrance of Haltia, or for private groups, at your designated pick-up spot. Enter the taiga coniferous forest and immerse yourself in the captivating world of sounds, scents, textures, colors, and shapes. Take a moment to listen to nature’s soothing sounds, inhale the fresh air, and release any worries. The guide will lead you through simple sensory, breathing, and nature connection exercises to help you relax and be present. Reconnect with nature and yourself, filling your soul with tranquility.

The experience concludes with aromatherapeutic oil, sharing personal experiences, and savoring Finnish wild bilberry juice.

The Open Group option is available for groups of 4 or more guests. If this requirement is not met, you have the option to upgrade to a Private session or receive a full refund.

Looking for some rejuvenating time in nature? Revitalize your body and mind while awakening all your senses by experiencing forest bathing the Nordic way!

Forest bathing is neither a hike nor a nature walk; it is a heartfelt, science-backed wellness practice that is gaining popularity worldwide. It involves walking slowly, pausing, and absorbing the natural surroundings using all five senses, while engaging in mindfulness practices.

Forest bathing is as much about tuning into your inner self as it is about connecting with nature. With the guidance of a trained leader, slowing down becomes easier—something that is challenging in today’s fast-paced world. You can relax and leave all effort behind, knowing you are safely guided in a small group.
