Wild Steps

NATURE CONNECTION | COMMUNITY | WHOLE-CHILD GROWTH

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.

Our Mangalore location is a peaceful, private property surrounded by pine, gum and native wattle trees.

Brighton – 10 minutes

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 close supervision of their parent or carer during the session.

For children under 3, 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 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.
