Wildcrafting Women

A womens skillshare.

A space to connect, have cuppa, and learn skills we can take back home and actually use.

Things like patching clothes, preserving food, blending herbs, or weaving something with your hands.

This space is open to all women who feel drawn to slow connection, hands-on learning, and a few hours that are just for them.

These sessions hold that old village feel.

A chance to make things together, sit on rugs, drink cacao, and chat about life.

What’s included:

  • Three 2 hour sessions across three Sunday afternoons

  • One guest facilitator who teaches a hands-on skill across the 3 week block

  • Cacao or herbal tea each week

  • Time to connect, create, and enjoy community

  • A warm, women-only, kid-free space

The skills change with the seasons. You might learn how to preserve food, mend clothes, weave natural fibres, or create your own herbal blends. Every block is different, shaped by the facilitator and the group.

You don’t need to prepare or be good at anything. Just come along as you are.

Dress-ups welcome

Earthy, vintage, fae, linen, aprons, scarves, florals. Whatever helps you feel like you’ve stepped into something special.

Dress in what makes you feel your most authentic self. What makes you feel “community.”

Fairy crowns, old-style layers, comfy skirts or anything you love.

No need to buy anything new. Comfort is essential.

What kind of skills will we explore?

Each block focuses on one practical skill, taught by a guest facilitator across the three weeks. These are slow, useful things you can take home and keep using.

  • Some of the skills we may explore include:

  • Food preserving and fermenting

  • Herbal remedies, infusions, and salves

  • Natural dyeing and visible mending

  • Foraging and plant ID

  • Basket weaving and handcrafts

  • Soap making, candles, or natural cleaning blends

  • Simple stitching, crochet, or small upcycled projects

No experience needed. Just curiosity, good company, and space to learn together.

When and Where

We’ll be offering one Wildcrafting Women block in spring and another in summer (and maybe another in Autumn, weather depending)

Each block runs over three Sunday afternoons, from 2 to 4pm, held in Mangalore (Tasmania 7030).

It’s a slow and lovely way to wrap up your weekend, out on the land, cacao in hand, doing something just for you.

Interested in being a guest facilitator?

We’re always on the lookout for women who can share a hands-on skill in a relaxed, supportive way. You don’t need formal training, just something useful and real to offer. Preserving, fermenting, weaving, mending, natural dyeing, herbal work or anything slow and practical.

Payment provided.

Send us a message if you’d like to be involved.

*All sessions will be co-facilitated by one of our trained Mindful Wild Steps Facilitators

FAQ

  • Nope. This space is for learning. You don’t need to have tried anything before

  • Not quite. While Wildcrafting Women has the warmth and community feel of a women’s circle, it’s focused on learning hands-on skills. Think mending, weaving, preserving, that kind of thing.

  • These sessions are kid-free so you can fully unwind and connect.

  • Dress-ups are completely optional. We love seeing earthy, vintage, fairy-core, or just a good old apron. Come in pyjamas if you like, whatever helps you step into the rhythm of the afternoon.

  • Any woman craving connection, learning, and something real. All ages and backgrounds welcome.

  • Most sessions will be held in Mangalore, Tasmania. If we ever run one elsewhere, it will be on the website before you book.

  • These aren’t formal workshops. There’s no certificate, just real-life skills and community.

  • Our sessions are held in bushland, which means uneven ground, tree roots, and no paved paths. We always have chairs available and do our best to accommodate everyone, but the setting may not be suitable for all mobility aids. Feel free to message us if you’d like to know more before booking.

  • We’re after practical, useful skills that women can take home and use in daily life. Things like mending, preserving, weaving, simple herbalism, fermenting, patchwork, sourdough, natural dyeing, basket making, and more.

    You don’t need formal qualifications, just a skill, a passion, and the ability to guide others.
