Wild Steps Home-ed Community
Wild Steps is a weekly nature-based community for home-educating families and those exploring the path, welcoming children and teens aged 4+.
Together we learn, create, connect and grow through meaningful experiences that support curiosity, confidence, friendships and a genuine sense of belonging.

Mangalore
Our Wild Steps home base is a peaceful, private property surrounded by pine, gum and wattle trees.
It gives us space for campfire cooking, gardens, a mud kitchen and plenty of open-ended outdoor areas where children and teens can explore, create and connect.
Easy to Get To
We have families joining us from all over, and Mangalore is an easy drive from:

It’s really important to me that these sessions are accessible. If cost feels like a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
You can look into our Green Steps Sponsorship or send me an email .
I’m always happy to work out payment plans, trades, or something that suits.
Please Note: Younger siblings under 3 are welcome to come along with an older sibling. They won’t be part of the term theme activities or receive a nature journal, though there’s still plenty for them to enjoy. We just ask that they stay under the closesupervision of their parent or carer during the session.
For younger children, please explore our Mindful Minis 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 wonderful landowners, local parks, councils, volunteers and community groups who make Mindful Wild Steps possible across our little corner of the world.
Your support means more than you probably realise. It gives children and families the opportunity to wander, explore and build genuine connections with nature, with each other and with themselves.
One of my favourite things is seeing families return to these places outside of our sessions. They become somewhere familiar, somewhere loved, and somewhere children feel connected to. To me, that's something really special.
I'm also incredibly proud of the care our community takes in these spaces, always leaving them as we found them and treating them with the respect they deserve.
Thank you for being part of something that's growing into a truly beautiful community.
