Mielikin metsä
At the resevoirs of ancient wisdom
Guided sauna rituals, folk tales, mythology and herbal healing
Sauna healing with Saunotus - the Finnish style sauna ritual
Sauna begins in the forest. Sauna is the temple of the forest.
Mythology and folktales root you to the wisdom of your ancestors.
Mielikin metsä - The forest of Mielikki is an exploration to the baltic-finnish mythology. The aim is to find the core and bring the ancient wisdom to modern man in a practical, understandable way. The viewpoint for this quest is the idea of gift economy and holistic worldview.
The ancient traditions, based on mythology and the idea of a living connected world, may be strange and seem distant to our day-to-day life.
Sauna is the liminal space, the gateway between the worlds, where you can unite your modern life with the ancient healing practices and wisdom.
