Erämieli - the power of wilderness and peace of mind

Erämieli combines the adventures of nature with mental wellbeing. We offer experiences ranging from hunting and wilderness trips to workplace wellbeing services, dining, and sauna. For us, “erä/wilderness” signifies skills, traditions, and the thrill of nature—while “mieli/mind” stands for peace, community, and recovery. Together, they create unforgettable moments in the midst of nature.

Combine Wilderness and Mind

The most fulfilling experience arises when we blend wilderness with the mind. A morning filled with the thrill of hunting, an evening by the campfire and sauna. Or a nature walk followed by quiet reflection and an open-fire cooked dinner.

The creators behind Erämieli

Erämieli was founded by a couple from Harjavalta in the Satakunta region, whose paths have led from entrepreneurship in the software industry and international trade to nature guiding, nursing, and wellbeing expertise—as well as building a life and family together.

A few years ago, on an autumn evening during a dog-walking stroll, an idea emerged that excited both of them: why not combine our strong entrepreneurial background, our skills in wilderness and nature services, and our dedication to promoting mental health and wellbeing? From that moment, Erämieli was born!

For both of us, nature has been a vital way to find balance between daily life, work, and family – and now we wish to share its tranquility and strength with you too.
