Have you ever felt crushed by criticism from a parent, especially when you're pouring your heart into your business? We've been there. This week, we share our emotional journey as nature play program facilitators, discussing how initially taking negative feedback to heart, evolved into seeing it as a critical avenue for growth. By reframing criticism and using it to reaffirm our beliefs and improve communication, weâve developed a more resilient mindset that empowers us to turn critiques into valuable learning experiences.
We also dive into the significance of clearly articulating the value and philosophy behind our nature programs to parents. Discover how emphasizing the intangible benefitsâlike fostering deep flow states and promoting non-traditional learningâcan help parents appreciate the true impact on their children. Balancing feedback while staying true to our mission is key, and we explain why being explicit about our programâs offerings attracts the right participants. Join us for an insightful conversation on navigating feedback, maintaining authenticity, and ensuring that those who genuinely align with our goals thrive within our program.Ever wondered how to bring the magic of 'Nature Play' into your child's education?

As we close the chapter on an incredible year of growth and connection, our latest podcast episode takes you through a heartfelt journey of our key milestones, mistakes and goals for the new year.
Somehow during this time, we have hit an astonishing 420,000 downloads and cultivated conversations that have deeply resonated within the realms of parenting, alternative education, forest schooling and child development. Our little project, birthed in our humble home office, has since spread its wings, touching lives and igniting a global dialogue on the transformative power of playing and learning in nature.
The hustle of running a small business is nothing short of a rollercoaster, and trust us, we've had our fair share of stomach-dropping moments! From the anticipation of launching our Forest School Skills online course to navigating the choppy waters of economic uncertainty, we share our trials and triumphs. Yet, amidst the challenges, we've seen our programs soar to new heights, with over 5,600 children stepping through the doors of our Forest School sites this year alone to the simple joys of bringing on our first full-time team member. It's these victories, large and small, that chart the course for future growth and sustainability.
Fasten your seatbelts as we map out the adventures and aspirations that await us in the coming year. Our heart is set on deepening the roots of our existing projects and empowering educators through our forest school skills course. We're also gearing up for personal travel escapades, including a five-week caravan journey through Tasmania!

đ±Her experience on the delicate balance of granting our children the space to navigate their fears and the world at large.
đ±The spectrum of childhood "wildness" from mentorship to fostering autonomy.
đ±And we confront the crucial question: Are ideas of wildness and freedom more reflective of our aspirations as adults than the experiences of our children?
Listen in and come away with a deepened understanding of nature play, child-centered learning, and the broader movements towards decolonising forest school education.Ever wondered how to bring the magic of 'Nature Play' into your child's education?

"If nature is free and play is free... Then why would I need to pay $ to insure my Nature Play session? "
đ± - Us
Yes, that was our actual faces when we heard someone was running a Nature Play session WITHOUT insurance.
Not only does this kind of dodgy practice risk people's livelihoods and homes... it also has the potential to completely destroy a whole industry that is supposed to protect childhood and children's right to play in nature.
In this episode, Nicki Farrell & Vicci Oliver (co-founders of The Wildlings Forest School) talk about the elephant in the room when it comes to the potential consequences of neglecting insurance and why it will actually bring you freedom and peace once you have it all sorted.
Nicki & Vicci share their experience on:
đ„Why not all insurance coverage is created equal
đ„ The importance of aligning your insurance with the unique risks
đ„The need to double-check that your insurer covers activities like working with unpredictable outdoor environments.
đ„Cutting through the complexity and confusion surrounding insurance coverage
