These gentle exercises invite you to open your senses, cultivate a feeling of calm and refreshment, and practice being fully present in the moment. Some invitations focus on noticing and kindly accepting your own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
The method, developed in Finland by Mrs. Sirpa Arvonen, combines researched nature-based health effects with simple mind-skill practices and is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or previous experience.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Cecilia as our tour guide at the biodynamic farm. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable she is about nature, sustainability, and biodynamic farming practices. Her love for what she does truly shines through in every part of the tour. Cecilia took the time to explain the principles behind biodynamic agriculture in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, even for those of us who were new to the concept. She guided us through the fields, greenhouses, and gardens, sharing fascinating insights along the way. To top it off, we were treated to a delicious meal made entirely from fresh, organic farm products—prepared by Cecilia herself. You could taste the care and quality in every bite. If you're a nature lover or someone curious about sustainable living and organic farming, I highly recommend taking this tour. Cecilia is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also incredibly welcoming. This experience was both educational and inspiring.
A heartfelt escape into nature

5.00I had a truly wonderful experience visiting the farm! Our tour guide was a lovely, friendly, and charming woman with a deep passion for nature. She explained everything clearly and enthusiastically, making the whole visit both fun and educational. One of the highlights was the delicious, completely organic meal she prepared for us—homemade food, dessert, and drinks. All served in a cozy forest shelter she built herself. It was such a peaceful and inviting spot, adding a unique touch to the experience. We also got to meet the cows, each with their own name. The breed isn’t very common, which made seeing them feel all the more special. Whether you're driving or taking the bus, the farm is easy to reach. And if you enjoy photography, you'll find countless beautiful scenes to capture—perfect for making unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to connect with nature, learn about farm life, and enjoy some peaceful, authentic moments.
