Forest Mind®
for regular practice
Forest Mind is a gentle way of working with awareness, mind skills, and relaxation in the forest. Developed in Finland, the method is grounded in scientific research highlighting the positive influences of nature on human well-being. It combines simple, structured mind–body practices and can be easily adapted to different people, bodies, moods, and life situations.
During my Forest Mind sessions along the Kuhasalo nature trail, we gather in a calm and welcoming setting that invites shared presence and practice. Through guided exercises, you’re encouraged to notice sensations, thoughts, emotions, and inner resources in a non-judgemental and practical way. Sometimes the experience is an immediate sense of being here and now; sometimes it brings insight or relief — always at your own pace and according to what feels useful.
Forest Mind can be shaped to fit you. Whether you arrive feeling stressed, curious, tired, joyful, or unsure, the practice meets you where you are. Over time, many people discover that the skills they develop during Forest Mind sessions begin to show up in everyday life — where they are often needed most.
Once a month, I offer an introductory session for those who want to get to know Forest Mind and its basic ideas. Weekly sessions are open to anyone who wishes to continue deepening their experience. You’re welcome to join the weekly sessions without attending the introductory course, though it can be a supportive place to begin.
We end each session with a moment of reflection and a cup of tea offered by Echo Enters.
You can find upcoming dates here or on social media.
Please register at least 48 hours before each session here or by emailing ​echoenters@gmail.com. To secure your place, I recommend signing up early.
