Forest Melody

All images +1

Surrender yourself to the melody created by the forest

Did you know that melody and sound can be elicited from trees, that trees talk to each other and transmit messages? Only certain people can coax mysterious sounds from the trees. You too can make this happen on a guided experience.

Every tree is a musical instrument of its own

Forest Melody is an intimate, profound, but nevertheless very intense experience of the forest. As part of a guided experience, you get to know the forest in a different way, as a unique, subtle natural landscape, where you can reconnect with nature and at the same time find your balance and relax. A forest bath and meditation makes you realise how very alive, sonorous and fragile the forest really is - once you become silent. The exclusive private micro-location ensures intimacy and privacy. You will discover the resonance of individual trees and together create a harmonious forest melody. You will learn about the disappearing handicraft skills in the local environment, which makes the experience also a story about the living cultural heritage of Bohinj. Conclude the experience with a forest tea party, a rest in hammocks and a sound bath, and natural foot reflexology by walking on the forest floor.

What to expect from the experience:

• Gathering of participants in front of the Stara Fužina tourist information centre or in the parking lot on Mount Vogar.
• Presentation of the route, experience and short instructions on how to behave in the forest.
• Presentation of the secret life of trees, the role of the forest, its life cycle and forest gifts (herbs, fruits, spruce tips...).
• Forest Resonance - a stop by a resonant spruce, an explanation of the difference between the wood of a common spruce and a resonant spruce, a demonstration of flute sounds and creating sounds by playing the trunks of different trees.
• Forest Bath - an explanation of the course and effects of a forest bath and meditation in the forest, finding suitable corners and a guided forest bath.
• Forest Tea Party - a presentation of herbs and fruits collected along the way, a tea party with herbal tea, home-made spruce cookies, forest herb spread and Bohinj apple chips. The tea party is followed by a rest in hammocks accompanied by a sound bath - playing a flute made of resonant wood.
• Natural Feet Reflexology - a walk on the forest floor that ends at a wooden trough where you can wash your feet.

• Tasting of herbal drinks in a kožarica hut.
