These sessions are designed for home educating families and those exploring the path, with children aged 4–13+.
Together, we learn, grow, connect, and create in ways that support the whole child and the whole family.

Mangalore
Our Wild Steps Home base
Just 38 minutes north of Hobart, our Mangalore location is a peaceful, private property surrounded by pine, gum, and native wattle trees. It’s a space where kids can explore, play, and connect with nature in a way that feels free and unstructured.
I feel so grateful to call this place home. It gives us the space to set up a garden, a mud kitchen, and plenty of open-ended play areas where kids can build, create, and let their imaginations run wild.
Easy to Get To
We have families joining us from all over, and Mangalore is an easy drive from:
Brighton – 10 minutes
Claremont – 20 minutes
New Norfolk – 25 minutes
Richmond – 30 minutes
Oatlands – 35 minutes
We also have regular families from Orford, Sandfly, and Carlton making the trip.

Join Our Waiting List
I am currently taking names for our waiting list to run regular sessions at this location. I am really excited about this opportunity as it is such a gorgeous spot. Please fill in the form to join the waiting list and also check for single sessions in the Carlton area.
While younger siblings under 3 are welcome to attend Wild Steps with an older sibling, they won't participate in the term theme activities or receive a nature journal. However, there's still plenty for them to enjoy.
For children under 3, please explore our Mindful Minis sessions or our all-age inclusive Single Sessions. Do note that younger children may require some assistance with activities at our single sessions.
I appreciate your understanding as I strive to offer age-appropriate sessions for our diverse community. For more information, please refer to our FAQ section.

Heartfelt Thanks
I just want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to the beautiful landowners, local parks, councils, volunteers, and community groups who make Mindful Wild Steps possible across our little corner of the world.
Your open-hearted support means so much. It allows these wildlings to wander, explore, and build real connection with nature, each other, and themselves.
It makes me so happy seeing families return, not just to the sessions, but to the land itself. These places become special to them. And that’s what it’s all about.
I’m proud of the care we take, always leaving the land as we found it, with deep respect.
Thank you for being part of something that’s growing into something really beautiful.
