SIMPLICITY

Less is more 

There are too many choices, stimulations and distractions that may cause sensory overload and causing stress in our children. Nowadays we are lacking stillness and feel like we always have to be in action. We often rush kids to places and do not take enough time to simply pause, be and observe what is around us.

​

The forests we visit will provide a space where kids can re-balance their overstimulated senses, calm their nervous system and take a break from "too much" "too soon" mentality of life. 

We experience slowing down in nature so we have opportunity to pause, relax and rest in simplicity.

FREE PLAY

Free to be

​

​Too many toys and too much structural play can limit children's creativity and imagination that is very important for their happiness and future skillset. They need several hours of unstructured play daily to adequately stimulate and integrate sensory pathways.

Kids are also missing exposure to adventurous play that are important for their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development leading to confident individuals.

​

My chosen forest locations and crafted sessions will provide with opportunity for unstructured, free, and "risky" play such as climbing over tree stumps. These natural experiences will teach children important skills for their heathy development.

NATURE BOND

Nature is our home

​

Children are spending less and less time outdoors due to technological distractions, indoor lifestyles and increased urban density. Nature Deficit Disorder is really a thing, and it may result in a shortened attention span, decreased problem-solving skills, obesity, and other issues with emotional and physical health. Lack of daylight may affect exposure to regulate their melatonin release at appropriate amounts.

​

We want to teach children to live in symbiosis and collaboration with nature, to understand her healing properties and her importance for their life. We need to create daily outdoor rituals to empower and strengthen nature connections.

​

During our adventures we use our senses to contact with nature, notice her magic, beauty and show  her compassion and love. These way we will create emotional bond with our big mama nature. ​

CREATIVITY

Self-expression & Eco Art

​

Modern lifestyles sometimes do not create enough space for leisure to be curious and exploring with our kids that is needed for creativity to happen.

Spending time in nature inspires a sense of awe that leads to “expansive thinking,” and innovative ideas.

​

Eco Art sparks creativity, provides a sensory experience, connects children with nature, teaches them about the environment, develops fine motor skills, promotes emotional well-being, offers a fun science or maths lesson, and encourages eco-friendly practices.

MINDFULNESS

Generation Zen

​

Combining meditative techniques with concepts of outdoor nature play helps form mindful attitudes. By making habits like these a routine, children become more aware of physical sensations, notice how their bodies respond to emotions, and develop greater compassion towards nature and others.

​

The sights, sounds and smells of the forest take us right into that present moment, so our brains stop anticipating, recalling, ruminating and worrying.

COMMUNITY

Tribe is what we need 

​

My son and I find it overwhelming socialise in a busy enclosed, indoors spaces due to noise levels and usually too much going on. He would freeze, and I get irritated as our senses get overstimulated. This prevents us to be fully open, relax, ourself and present for others to connect with.

​

I found that parenting and socialising in nature is so much easier. Nature simply knows how to hold space for social interactions. Nature helps us relax and provide with space where we may feel more free, open, connected and calm.

Dr. Lockwood says, “Outdoor play helps children grow socially, helping them to develop healthy ways of forming friendships, responding to physical interaction, and using their imaginations to entertain each other,”
