A silent environment offers a respite from our increasingly noisy and intense everyday

surroundings. Silence travel provides the opportunity to linger, be silent and calm down – to

listen to and concentrate on the rich nuances of silence, and to hear one’s own mind.

Anyone can be quiet. In silence, we can learn to be present and listen to ourselves, our

feelings and our needs. Silence is a source of health, vitality and well-being. Living in

constant noise has been proven harmful to the health. Outer silence helps us to discover our

inner peace. Silence is a state that can permanently change our attitude to life.

We probably all experience silence differently. Silence can be an exotic experi-ence compared to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This transition does not happen instantly, and can even feel extreme. Silence travel offers steps in and out of different kinds of silences.

The Finnish people highly value nature as a place of silence. Silence is often perceived as part of the great, wide outdoors in their natural state. Nature’s sounds are often thought of as pleasant sounds of silence. By going out-doors, we can enjoy silence, listening to the small sounds of nature. When was the last time you heard the sigh of the wind, the lapping of the waves, your own breathing or the rustle of fir needles under your feet?

Silence and Presence at the Mattila Heritage Farm

Silence is a journey in which we hear and listen to ourselves. It is a step inwards, and

often also a step forward. Silence is a journey towards simplicity and clarity. It is a

journey to what really matters, to the very roots of being present – it is a journey to

Now. The incredible Koli nature and the calm, timeless Mattila heritage farm offer an

excellent environment for leaving day-to-day routines and hurry behind. Discover

profound nature experience than usual.

Silence can refer to both the world we see outside, and to our inner experiences. Decibels can only measure external silence. Inner silence is manifested in the form of calm, serenity and peace. We need inner silence in order to balance our minds and bodies and discover ourselves. Quiet, serene, calm and still are synonyms for silent.

The Celebration of Looking is an ode to nature and its details.

preferences, we trace the slow Koitajoki river and marvel at the riverside scenery as

we move towards Lake Nuorajärvi. You can also try your luck at fishing, by trolling on

the river. Fishers need a valid fishing licence from the Finnish state. We will also pack

food and – depending on the weather – cold or hot drinks. Our return schedule to
