Forest Walk
❊ Let the nature wash your worries away and clean your spirit. ❊
Why Mindful Nature Walk?
Especially in these days it is important that we connect to nature and to ourselves. We can slow down and find nourishment in the simplicity of being in the moment. We can:
? listen to the sound of the birds,
? feel the breeze on the skin,
? listen to the forest and to whatever it has to offer for each of us
? and to take time to be with our own hearts.
What is Mindful Nature Walk?
In Mielimaisema Walks I combine elements from nature connection exercises, forest meditation, art, traditional Finnish knowledge of nature, forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and Natural Mindfulness. Walking mindfully in nature is a proven way to boost levels of health, wellbeing and happiness.

The aim is to promote harmony within the body, mind and soul. The exercises help you to build an enjoyable connection that can be full of joy. Nature accepts you as you are.
Nature art practice calms your mind, and increases your attention to detail and appreciation of beauty. The simple practice can help you to reconnect with nature, and remind you of the resilient and beautiful life that is part of our world, and part of us too.

Requirements
Don’t be put off by the weather. We walk in all weathers and seasons. Rainy days can be just as interesting and insightful as sunny days – as long as you are wearing appropriate clothing.
Footwear: It is advisable to bring walking boots or other sturdy footwear.
Clothing: The temperature and conditions during a walk can change quickly and so appropriate layers of clothing are recommended based on local forecasts.
Water: It is important to remain hydrated during the walk so bring some water, but remember we will be walking in nature and so there will be no public toilets along the route.
