Nature is your best teacher. In these times, hope you can still get your regular dose of Vitamin N to keep you fit, sane and to be the best person that you are.
Faraway from Anywhere and Close to Everywhere
Where is your sit spot? Have you been there recently?
What is a sit spot? It is a place with natural features that you go to often. The two most important factors is that it is comfortable and close. Why do a sit spot? They are a great way to fast track nature connection, settle your nervous system and broaden your experience of the world.
Weaving with Nature – so many plants seem to love weaving as much as we do.
How about taking a stroll and asking if any plants would like to come and be part of your creation.
Wildcraft Australia
The team at Wildcraft Australia have been facilitating wilderness education, nature-based experiences and activities, and immersion in the Australian bush since 2014.
Your guides enjoy sharing their skills with children and adults of all ages, and at one of our Wildcraft courses you might learn practical as well as internal bush skills. On a practical level, participants might learn (among many other possible bush skills) to build a shelter from all natural materials, to make a fire by friction, to taste bush food, to process plants to make string, to make a knife or a longbow, to collect and prepare fibre for weaving, and to find and use natural dyes (many of these skills leaned form their Yolngu teachers whom they visit each year in East Arnhem Land).
Your guides live in the bush and are regularly nourished by quiet time in nature, and it is a fundamental part of the process of Wildcraft to share techniques and provide time and space for participants to slow down, to engage the senses into the landscape, to consider, interpret, as well as be confident in, and inspired by, the natural world around us all, no matter where we are.
