The historical Wohls Gård can accommodate up to 80 nature lovers all year long. Nature paths start from the front of the house, depending on the season our Forest Sound Walks can include paddling, lantern snow walks under starry skies or singing on the frozen lake. Wohls Gård is located only a few minutes ride / 20min walk from the Meiko Nature Reserve and a beautiful wilderness excursion can be combined within the program.

Our host Elwira Catering accommodates the most demanding wishes from evening snacks and tasty breakfasts to festive dinner menus. The ingredients used are local, often also organic - during the summer time from the mansion's own garden.

Lantern Sound Walk
Lantern Sound Walk

Available from early October until late March.

Darkness lands in the forest with silent whispers and soothing sounds. Night sky with its endless stories and beliefs opens. Looking up we see the same sky that our predecessors have looked upon for thousands of years.

Welcome to experience the night as it was in older times. During the walk Sanni will lead you to the ancient tradition of folklore and nature singing, Luontolaulu. Together we’ll gather by the fire to explore sounds and stories like so many people in Finland have done for hundreds of years...

Forest Sound Walk

We walk through the woods. Slowly. Humming and breathing. Listening how the nature responds. Opening our senses. Enjoying the colors and scents forest sends to us. Letting the nature and sounds affect, restore and rejuvenite us.

Welcome to experience the culture of nature and music through your own experience! Forest Sound Walk leads you to relax through slow pace, gentle movements, breathing and humming. It opens your senses through listening and feeling and restores the connection to nature.

Be prepared to get refreshed, re-energized and inspired!I

We will begin our excursion with a 30min introduction. Our slow pace walk takes about 2 hours, and we close the excursion with a brief conversion by the fire or indoors.

Singing Canoe in Southern Finland
Singing Canoe in Southern Finland

Available May through October

Humming, silence and relaxing singing on solo canoes surrounded by the echoing waters. This memorable moment in nature enhances the voice, strengthens the group’s interaction and creates co operation. We produce this service together with Stefan “Eppu” Blomqvist and the Smiling Redfox Company.

Thank you @mossy_oak_woods for your lovely post! 🍃🕊 ・・・ There is always so much to share!!!! Last night we went on a forest singing walk! I felt incredibly moved by it! We sang to our hearts, we sang to the trees and we sang to each other. In this photo we were throwing sounds to each other across the water! I feel there is something so powerful about singing in the forest. I would love people to come and sing in Mossy Oak Woods! The trees would love it! 💚💚💚 @sound_by_nature #forestbathing #foresttherapy #shinrinyoku #natureconnection #naturetherapy #natureplay #natureheals #iftd2019 #singtothetrees #singingforest

From #natureasnurture ❤️ ・・・ A lovely day of workshops, each inviting us to connect with nature in a different way. Such a treat to be on the other side, bring held and guided in a Forest Bathing Walk. A surprising and moving experience of singing with forest led by the lovely Sanni of @sound_by_nature Laura #mossy_oak_woods invited us to connect to our creativity and create something with what lay around us. Much as I loved the process I became increasingly aware that what I was creating / curating on the tree stump was far less beautiful as a whole than each individual item. I fell in love yet again with the marvel and beauty of the natural world. Feeling deeply nourished as the day draws to a close.

Our voice is such a unique creation, an instrument like no other - we can hear it and feel it at the same time. And sometimes it happens that the hearing takes over. When we try to reach our voice through hearing there becomes a gap between sound production and sound and we easily start to judge ourselves based on how we think we sound, become our own critics. Yesterday we explored how singing from within, through the body with nature and with others, feels in the International Forest Therapy Days. A once in a lifetime forest sound walk with 30 or more people from 17 nations.

We will return here in August with our very first Nature Singing Guide - training. Contact us to learn more 🍃 "Mikään ei ole niin palauttava ja juurille tuova paikka, kuin metsä. Tuttuihin maisemiin palaaminen muistuttaa siitä, että vaikka omassa elämässä tuntuu olevan uskomattoman isoja asioita meneillään ja valtavia elämää muokkaavia haasteita ylitettävänä, on luonto ja tutut paikat aina vain entisellään. Luonto ei tiedä meidän haasteista mitään, vaan se ottaa aina vastaan yhtä avoimin sylin ja kauniilla maisemilla. Se kokemus on minun peruskallio, johon nojaan säännöllisesti." - Ote kirjasta "Luontolaulu - Minunkin sisälläni soi" Näissä maisemissa tapaamme 1.-5.8. ensimmäisen Luontolaulu-ohjaaja-koulutuksen merkeissä. Ota yhteyttä ja kysy lisää <3 -- "There isn't a more restorative and grounding place than the forest. Returning to familiar landscapes reminds us that even if in our own life there seems to be incredibly big things going on and huge life-changing challenges to be overcome, nature and familiar places will always stay the same. Nature does not know anything about our challenges, it welcomes us with equally open arms and beautiful sceneries every time." - From the nature singing book "Luontolaulu - Minunkin sisälläni soi" -- Video & Photos: Sanni / SoundByNature Music: Fjodor #soundbynature #sápmi #luontolaulu #river #lapland #sound #singing
