"One beautiful day, sometime in the 30s, my great-great uncle, inventor and Suunto company founder Tuomas Vohlonen was fishing in Saimaa, when he accidentally ran his engine on the famous rocks of  Murhakorpi. He decided to land on the nearest shore to assess the extent of the damage to the engine and luckily got his broken engine repaired. It wasn't until after the job that he really opened his eyes to the place where he had ended up by chance and found himself standing on a beautiful natural beach lined with pines. That beach has been in our family for four generations now. This place has always been a place of introspection and rejuvenation for me and now it is that for our customers as well - it is my definition of heaven on Earth.”​

Utula Nature becomes a haven for rest and reflection

​

 In the summer of 2020, Utula Nature was opened to customers for the first time as a bed and breakfast place. Determinedly, summer after summer, the concept has developed closer to its purpose, a retreat place that supports well-being, while the facilities and methods of operation have been refined to their current form through accumulated experience and customer feedback.

 

Today, Utula Nature is a retreat place for calming down the pace and meeting yourself open throughout the summer season.

 

The purpose of Utula is to be a safe place for people to come and rest, find a closer connection with themselves and evaluate the direction of their own life and possible needs for change. An essential part of the experience is both digital and speech fasting, supported by an accepting community and wellness services.

Jumping off the hamsterwheel comes down to choices

​

 We know finding your own path and creating a life that is filled with meaning and supports your well being truly, is far from easy in today's world. 

 

Many times finding your way is a lengthy process which requires perseverance, growth crisis and several seemingly "losing your way", learning to be honest with yourself and more often than not, making some hard choices.

 

At Utula Nature, we want to offer a space where you too can jump off the hamster wheel of your own life for a while - slow down, find a deeper connection to yourself, see more clearly the path that has taken you here and the direction you want move towards.

​

You are welcome just as you are!
