Our home education experiance are life skills all about building a foundation that cultivate a sense of home in nature. Over the year, we practice different elements of the sacred order of survival: Shelter, Water, Fire, and Food. Learning how to meet these vital needs directly from the landscape helps your child see their self as part of the ecosystem, foster confidence, and pushes their comfort zone in a safe way. We balance practical workshop based activities with academic learning in a relaxed, fun enviroment.
Wild Awareness Activities are focused on awakening their senses to move, see, listen, and feel in the same way that wild animals do. We retrain our senses through core routines and participate in games/activities to strengthen their abilities. These activities cultivate body awareness, develop intuition, and help them align with the consciousness of nature.
Land-Based Crafts covered in this course are focused on building relationships with the natural world. Students are engaged in the whole process of harvesting, processing and crafting. Throughout this process we learn the land stewardship techniques that help the plants we work with thrive. These skills help them cultivate a sense of belonging to landscape, develop lifelong muscle memory and fine motor skills and step into responsibility to be good stewards of the earth.

Do you use nuts in the cookery?
Wild nuts may be used in primitive cooking, however if we have a child with a nut allergy we will simply avoid nuts / cross contamination during your child session.
