We are your guides for a creative journey rooted in the wild. Our connection blossomed from our shared experience as mothers, having first met through our daughters at a local forest school.
We believe that creativity isn't a planned path, but a beautiful, messy unfolding. It's about noticing the magic in the gifts Nature shares with us – ✿ discovering its colours, smells, textures, and sounds ✿ – while immersing ourselves in the present. We are deeply committed to the idea of resourcefulness, believing that anyone can be creative with what they have. Our activities can always be easily recreated at home, using everyday materials or things found just outside your door.
We also believe in the power of community, and that creating together, especially cross-generationally, is a wonderful way to forge magical connections. Our natural workshops provide a welcoming and multicultural environment for everyone.
So come join us, get your hands dirty, and let's get exploring!
We invite people of all ages to (re)discover the benefits of natural play.
