Living a Nordic Life with Fiona McKinna

70: Simple Pleasures, Slow Days: The Nordic Art of Doing Less Outside


Listen Later

In this episode of Living a Nordic Life, we wander into the quiet beauty of the Nordic outdoors — not with skis or hiking poles, but with a slower, gentler pace. Discover how Nordic culture embraces the art of simply being outside: sitting on a bench with a cup of coffee, watching the shifting skies, or savoring the scent of pine and sea air.

We’ll explore why “doing less” in nature can actually bring us more — more calm, more presence, and more connection to the world around us. Whether it’s lingering by the water’s edge or enjoying the long light of a summer evening, this is a reminder that the simplest moments often become the most meaningful.
