Pelekääkkö nää pimiää – As dark as it gets

Less fear and excitement, more your way to experience the power of nature in darkness!

Everyone knows, or has at least heard, about the relaxing and stress-relieving effects of nature. Worries evaporate and sorrows are forgotten. At Local Wilderness Oulu, we believe that these effects are even more powerful in the DARK. However, tension and fear can join the experience in the dark, which effectively mask the psychophysical well-being effects of experiencing nature in the dark.

This issue is solved by having a guide take care of both technical safety and the principles of a safe space, so that the experience of being in nature in darkness is pleasant and successful.

The trip takes about 3.5 hours in total, from 17:30 to 21:00. The time spent completely without lamps or other artificial light is a maximum of one hour. There is a rest area nearby where you can enjoy the campfire if you wish. Enjoy the darkness to the fullest, or feel it out carefully (“dipping your toes in”)! The guide is with you throughout the adventure. Before heading out, the rules and the principles of safe space are explained.

The “nature bus” leaves at 5.30 pm and will bring you back at the end of the day (about 9 pm). Transportation is included in the price. The pick-up and drop-off location can be customized according to your needs.
