Pause, breathe, and recharge in the energy of the forest – for greater peace, balance, and well-being.
Did you know that the forest can heal?
The silence of the trees, the scent of the forest and connection with nature can have a therapeutic effect on both body and mind. Žička kartuzija Monastery offers a peaceful space where you can step away from the rhythm of everyday life for a moment.
As part of the Silent Energy of Žička kartuzija Monastrey trail, which runs along the monastery walls, you will experience a calm and immersive FOREST THERAPY practice on Sunday, 20 September, at 8:30 AM.
Forest therapy is a slow, sensory and mindful connection with nature that helps calm the nervous system, reduce tension and strengthen our sense of inner balance. It is an immersive experience of the forest, connecting with nature through the body and senses – not a plant-identification lesson or a traditional walk.
Guided by: Mojca Veler, certified forest therapy practitioner.
The programme concludes with a visit to the monastery herb garden, where you can enjoy herbal tea from the Majnika Herb Garden. The tea will be served in a unique handmade clay cup created especially for the occasion by potter Rok Komel, which participants can take home as a keepsake.
⏳ Duration: 2.5 hours
Price: €50 per person (includes guided forest therapy, herbal tea, a unique handmade clay cup, a product from the Iršič family’s herbal shop, and admission to the charterhouse). Payment is made on the day of the event.
