3. Organic Apple Blossoms trip - Lohja Lake District
Finnish lifestyle is characterized by the
simple joys of life. Feeling the light wind
on your face, seeing and smelling the
Spring Blossom by the Lohjanjärvi lake,
will fill your heart with joy.
Organic Apple Blossoms Program
Only a short 45 minute drive from Helsinki, The Lohja Lake District is
ready to offer you a great day out from your busy program. In May and
June Harmony Trail brings you to see the awakening of the Finnish
summer. Lohja Lake District is known for its hundred thousand blossoming
apple trees.
At the Lakeside Hideaway we are welcomed by the international Finnish-
English-Papuan host family who returned to their roots in Finland, back to
their childhood playgrounds by the lake and quiet forest pathways.
We will slowly stroll among the blossoming apple trees for a silent moment
in the heavenly sent and let your mind fly.
The family owns an organic apple farm, where we have a picnic, enjoy
organically produced healthy food, and gain knowledge of the treasures of
the nature.
We enjoy a short boat ride on the Lake Lohja, explore small forest trails or
just relax by the lake.
4. Helsinki, the city of Winds & Waters
The Baltic See and its linked waterways have always been a lifeline of Helsinki. The city has
always been an important port and the gateway to East and West. The Baltic Sea has been the
provider of food and protection with its multiple islands along the coastline.
We want to show how that continuous energising force is effecting everyday life. Finns could be
called "water people". There is no comparison to the deep feeling of sparkling when sitting on a
rock or on the dock and listening to the sound of the wind. Who does not want to dip ankles in
the warm water and feel the sensation of the water .
Winds & Waters Program
The day starts on the top of the Kaivopuisto hill. We will sip pure and
natural blueberry drinks and stroll the seaside peer. A cruise will take us
to visit Saunasaari Island. It is full of different
kinds of sauna´s.
Smooth and wind molded rock shores are a perfect place to feel the warm
sea breeze on your face. The beautiful sea view and fresh air will give you a
chance to renewal.
Saunasaari is a place to go to a traditional smoke sauna and have an
invigorating swim. The mystical moment after hot sauna and cool water
uniquely opens up your Qi - in a very sensual way it energises you.
Good and healthy food is a part of good energy. For example
traditional Robber's roast and vegetables are stewed in a hole in
earth under glowing coles for many hours. Imagine the
simmered taste and aromas´s.
Perhaps we decide to go to visit a lighthouse or Suomenlinna
Fortress. It will give a sense of mysticism of adventure, old
times and extreme circumstances of the northern nature.
5. Blueberry Trail - health on the palm of your hand
A short distance from Helsinki and you have arrived in Lohja Lake District - a
wonderful region with blueberry forests. Walk along blue - green hillsides, close
your eyes, let the sweet taste of berries fill your mouth. Sense the harmonious
moment where the nature opens its treasures. Let your mind wander freely
and feel the urge to pick more and more such healthy miracles.
Blueberry Program
Blueberry Trail starts with a short drive to Lake
District where we take a slow boat-ride on the
lake. We will be taken to a forest and guided
safely along the best trails. We will learn about
Finnish nature letting the nature inspire and
energise you.
In the forest we might find a Hunter´s hut. A
tipi-like hut has an open fire where we enjoy
blueberry shots and have a surprisingly healthy
lunch. Spend a moment and breath in the
forest´s enchanting aromas, sense the warmth of
the fire in a hut. Not forgetting homemade
blueberry pie with freshly made coffee boiled
over the open fire.
The most enjoyable way to end this trail is
swimming in a lake. See the blue sky reflecting
from the water - feel the relaxing sensation of
the velvety water.
6. Designing Harmony Helsinki QI
The Finnish quality of life is strongly connected with the harmonious encounters with
the nature. Right in the middle of Helsinki you can feel and sense the quiet energy
flow - the Helsinki Qi.
Connecting East and West, Finland with its capital city Helsinki - is an energy
power centre like no other in the world. To feel it, let go. To sense it, let it come to
you.
HELSINKI QI PROGRAM
We can find the Tao of Design in Helsinki. Today the idea of living in ordered,
harmonious place where peace and relaxation has never been more appealing. The
s the importance of simplicity as the key to truth and
freedom. Surprisingly, we can find a lot of Asian-type characteristics in Helsinki.
Places for listening the stillness: Market Square, Temppelinaukio Church
carved in stone, the new Music Centre with sensational acoustics and the
new Kamppi Chapel and Silence centre.
Touch Helsinki at the Sibelius Monument and have a picnic on the oldest
rock on the planet.
Feel the Qi from the sea and land, from the old rock and the blue skies.
