Nature connection programs

Summer 9 - 3pm / Winter 10-1pm

Join us for our Thursday children's village of mixed ages for a nature immersion program to deepen connection with this Land as nature stewards. 

Child-led activities include naturecraft, tree climbing, felting, clayplay, circle storytelling. We read local stories. We grow our sensory experience of edible weeds and native plants.

We listen deeply to the land, to the animals, to the changing seasons, planting native trees for the future so we may sink our roots into the Land. 

* Payments are term based. A term can vary between 9 - 10 weeks

Wednesdays and Thursdays 4 - 6pm

For our older children, we are excited about our Whipbird Wildling Afterschool program,

Mentoring us in:

· Claymaking and firing

· Fleece and fabric from plant&animal

· Papermaking

*Payments are term based. A term can vary between 9 - 10 weeks

Summer 9 - 12pm (half day) / Winter 10 - 1pm

Friday mornings 9.30-11am. 

These trial sessions offer parents and children the weekly opportunity to co-create village life.

Children will be able to sit with their parent or join the other children of the natureplay village for an activity. We come together for morning tea.  It is likely children will want to explore the creeks, the fairy forest, the land or self-directed play in the log sandpit which is celebrated.

The contribution is $100 per child, $80 for siblings for 3 weeks.

Get ready for a whole lot of fun during the holidays.

Book in for a day and have your children nourished and cared for during the holiday rest.

Children will learn natural crafting skills, bushwalk, collaborative interaction and a whole lot of fun!
