Located in Laško, Slovenia, Gozdna terapija z divjo malico offers an immersive forest therapy experience that reconnects visitors with nature through mindful movement and sensory awareness. This serene escape is led by Mia Zupančič, an internationally certified forest therapist who guides participants through the calming rhythms of the forest, using deep breathing and gentle motion to awaken the senses and release daily stress. The forest itself is a peaceful sanctuary filled with native European deciduous trees such as oaks and beeches, whose leaves quietly rustle as the wind moves through their branches. Along the way, participants encounter a rich understory of ferns, wildflowers, and fresh scents of pine and earth, which create a holistic atmosphere to nurture body and spirit alike.
