If you’re willing to relax in the forest and learn more about natural food, this event is for you.
It’s on Oct 5th and it all starts at 9:15 am and it’s all about identifying boletus and chanterelles, and also learning how to cook and conserve same during winter time. After a light snack with hot tea, the organizers are offering a moment of mindfulness before walking back.
Another event, shorter and focused only on mushrooms identification, conservation and cooking is organized on Oct 6th.
To quote Severine, "These walks in the forest are also an opportunity to make you aware of the wild and fragile nature at the same time."
Severine Essex (picture below) is a French woman living in Finland since a few years with her family. She started very young learning first aid and worked during 13 years in France in the field of first aid at the Red Cross, for emergency wards, as instructor, teacher, judge for examination and headmaster in first aids, she worked with fire fighters and graduated in psychology. After a car crash, she found difficult to recover and started to explore natural medicines and decided to graduate in acupuncture. She is a M.D doctor in medicine in acupuncture and she is the author of Vege-sport.
It’s important to remind that since 2003, the World Health Organization published a review of clinical trials of acupuncture (here). As a result of this publication, the WHO recognizes 28 diseases, symptoms, or conditions for which acupuncture has been proven to be an effective form of treatment. The traditional Chinese approach to healing was an inspiration to the Nobel Prize, Tu Youyou, in 2015 (here).
Severine seeks to educate and encourage people in searching for a closer relationship with themselves, become more self sufficient, and protect their health naturally and as autonomously as possible.
