We did it! Putting the wild back into family
/We did it. Two months of wild camping and wildcrafting with three kids. It took enormous effort to peel ourselves away from school and work life. But I knew we needed it. I needed it. No longer able to disappear for vast stretches of time in the bush alone, it needed to be a family experience. And how beautiful, when after the first week of defragging and defrosting, we found ourselves under a canopy of stars, weaving and whittling by the fire night after night. Recounting the day’s adventures and the new birds to add to our list. No-one within coo-eeee. Pipi stew and fish for dinner, eaten by hand carved spoons. I literally felt like I was drinking in the wild with a deep thirst.
That’s a single postcard of a much longer story. But one thing that emerged after 8 weeks was Vision. And so, an invitation extended to join us in these upcoming programs dedicated to rewilding our inner and outer landscapes.
🔥 Hearthfire Fridays starting October 17 close to Melbourne. Small group exploring herbal medicine, wildcrafting and connective practice over 6 Fridays. One cancellation place has opened up! Is it for you?
🍃 Applications are open for next year’s Nature Based Leadership Training. If you are ready for life to be imbued with enchantment, purpose and connection, this is for you.
🕸 The Men’s Year Long Quest Program with Dan Skye. Small group. All ages. Diving deep. What are you waiting for?
🦉 And…. there are a few places left for this November’s Wild Threshold Crossing, a 2 day wilderness solo.
In wild service and service to the wild,
Claire
