It's been a great sensory walk through the woods. I have valued silence to listen to nature. The landscape changes have been very surprising and having planted a tree has made me feel collaborative with the world. A highly recommended experience!

Our trip with Linus was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything about the forest, its plants and species to us! We had a nature meditation which was a very peaceful and nice experience and we also picked litter on the way in order to keep this beautiful forest clean.
