Wild Steps Home-ed Community
NATURE CONNECTION | COMMUNITY | WHOLE-CHILD GROWTH
These community 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 Wild Steps Home base
Our Mangalore location is a peaceful, private property surrounded by pine, gum and wattle trees.
I feel so grateful to call this place home base. 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.

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 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.
