VÄKI - Nature
Feel the Nature around you. Find the Nature within you, where your true self lives.
Väki Nature Services offers a unique journey into the heart of Finnish nature, where ancient stories and sensory experiences bring invisible forces to life. In Finnish mythology, väki is the pulsing energy of nature – the wind rustling in the forest, the wisdom hidden in the depths of the lake, and the silent presence of the fells. Our services invite participants to pause, take a deep breath, and listen to what nature wants to tell.
The excursions begin with a silent attunement: feeling the connection to the earth, listening to the wind, and sensing the rhythm of the forest. The guides tell stories of forest spirits, the väki of water, and the forces of the earth that have been here long before us. Nature activities, such as wild herb gathering, using natural materials in crafts, and nature meditation, help participants deepen their connection to the environment and their own inner selves.
Väki Nature Services is not just an experience, but an invitation to realize the sacredness of nature and the human place as part of a larger whole. Every moment in nature is an opportunity to learn, strengthen, and perhaps hear the silent whisper of väki, guiding towards a deeper balance with oneself and the surrounding world.
Väki teaches visitors how to respect and maintain the balance of nature in their daily lives. Indoor services use recyclable and natural materials, as well as energy-efficient solutions that support the principles of sustainable tourism. This whole creates a positive image of Finland and Lapland as places where high-quality, meaningful, and ecologically sustainable experiences are available to tourists.

In this nature-based yoga practice, we follow the traces of Finnish folklore and the mystical forces of nature, drawing strength from ancient mythology. Väki – the vital energy that flows through all living things – surrounds and permeates us in the forests, waters, and rock formations. We are not separate from nature; we are part of it, and it is part of us.
As you gather these natural treasures, you will hear the mystical stories of Väki, the ancient Nordic spirit of nature, and discover the hidden powers and uses of each ingredient. A meditative practice will take you deeper into the world of senses and you will experience a stronger connection with yourself and the surrounding nature.
Moving Nature is a gentle, guided hike in the pure nature of Lapland, where a holistic approach merges with the creative flow of dance and movement. On this journey, there is no marked trail or map. We carry only our inner compass, curiosity, and the willingness to surrender to the moment and be moved by nature.
Through storytelling, we delve into the mythology of the Väki, listening to the spirits of the forest and their ancient messages. Every stone, tree, and flowing water carries with it stories from times past, which we learn to sense and understand. This journey is not just an observation of nature, but a creation of a connection with the spirit of the forest and our own inner being.
