The two small kantele weekends in summer 2015 at the wonderful Kortisto organic farm
Blog
May 29, 2015
The summer and the kantele courses are approaching! Yesterday I visited the Kortisto estate – the venue for the coming weekend courses – and here you can see some fresh photos. The place is wonderful; a hand-hewn log house (space and double rooms on two floors), a dining room with big windows, a veranda, a hut, a smoke sauna by the pond (a beautiful changing room!), and some additional double rooms also in a charming outbuilding. We will spend two marvellous kantele weekends enjoying good food, good company and the smoke sauna with the beautiful Finnish nature! And as an extra treat for those who are interested there is also a possibility to book a peat treatment. The beginners course is in June 26-28, and the Intermediate course July 31-August 2. More detailed information about the courses over here. I’m really looking forward to this!
