Free to be Bush Play and Learning

Free to be Bush Play and Learning My vision is to get more children and their families outside and reconnected to nature.

Our children deserve all the benefits that come from playing in the bush: the independence, the challenge, the mindfulness, the curiosity, fun and beauty.

I didn’t realise it at the time, but when I created Bush Play Village, I was creating a space I desperately needed.

A space where my son could be completely himself.

Where I didn’t need to apologise because my kids were taking up a lot of space.

Where I didn’t need to worry that they were being too loud, too energetic, too curious, too much.

A space where they could move their bodies, make noise, explore, get dirty, climb, run, create, connect and just BE.

This became the village I never knew I needed.

And maybe it’s a village you need too.

If you have a child who inspires you every single day, and you want somewhere they can show up exactly as they are — in all their loud, wild, glorious goodness…

Or perhaps they’re quiet, shy, observant and introspective, and need the freedom to take their time and find their own way in…

You are welcome here.

Bush Play Village is for the big personalities and the quiet ones.

For the climbers and the watchers.

For the mud-covered kids and the ones who’d rather sit beneath a tree.

For the children who need lots of space and the children who need a safe place to slowly step into it.

There is room for all of them here.

And there is room for you, too.

Come as you are.

This is Bush Play Village.

Join us in Dru Point on Fridays and Collinsvale on Mondays (fortnightly).

We are offering 3 sessions for the price of 4 at Dru Point for the remaining sessions and you can join the last two sessions in Collinsvale for just $40 per family!

We'd love to see you in the bush!

Thank you Grace Grace Elizabeth 🤎 Lutruwita

I have wanted to try this for a while and the timing is perfect. I really needed a reminder to slow down and actually honour myself and not just my basic needs xx

I cannot describe how Devine this oil is, but I can tell you you deserve it x

Another beautiful, local tassie mama creating beautiful things. Grace is also an incredible massuer in the Huon Valley xx

I am so excited to be facilitating a Bush Play Village again, and with my youngest as my helper this time.

Dru Point starts this Friday and we'd love to see you there!
Collinsvale is only 3 sessions this term so they will packed with fun!
I am still waiting on council for my official planning permit but have received events waivers until everything has gone through, so we're good to go :)

Please reach out if you'd like to join but don't have the finances , I know it's tough for many families at the moment, especially single income ones, so I am very happy to work something out. always open to trades for veges, flowers, photos or an extra hand to set up and pack up x

What if your child’s playgroup was outside?

Not just outside for a little while, but truly immersed in the bush for the morning.

Climbing. Balancing. Getting muddy. Building shelters. Making potions. Finding treasures. Creating with sticks. Exploring puddles. Watching the seasons change.

Our Bush Play Villages are a place for children to follow their curiosity, take safe risks, build confidence and simply have space to PLAY.

And they’re for the grown-ups too.

A place to meet other families, slow down, get out of the house and build real community. There’s no pressure to have it all together. Just come as you are.

We welcome children from birth to 12 years, and we love the magic that happens when different ages play alongside each other.

Freedom. Connection. Community.

Come and join us in the bush.

Bush Play Villages start this week x

We need one more mama. Is it you?

Our Matrescence Village is starting a little later than planned, on Thursday 27 August, and we need just one more mama to join us for the village to run.
And honestly, we really want it to run.
We don't want cost or numbers to get in the way of creating this space.

So we're offering 10% off with the code VILLAGE.

This is a six-week space for ALL mums and their babies to slow down, connect, talk about the real experience of becoming a mother, and find some community along the way.

A space to talk about the parts of motherhood that don't always get talked about.
The identity shifts.
The beautiful moments.
The hard moments.
The relationships that change.
The feeling of becoming someone new while still trying to work out who you are.

We'll gather in nature, share stories, learn, laugh, probably have some tired babies, and make space for the messy, beautiful reality of matrescence.

Starting Thursday 27 August
10am–12pm
Six-week village
10% off with code VILLAGE

If you've been thinking about joining but weren't quite sure, this might be your sign.

We don't care about making a profit from this one. We care about creating the offering and seeing this little village come together.

We just need one more mama. Is it you?
