We aim to reconnect children's deepest inner instincts to the natural world by encouraging natural curiosity through skill, play and creativity inspired by forest surroundings.
Dreamweavers is rooted in the somatic and psychological process of bringing one's attention into the present moment.
To experience what is occurring fully in the now through breath, movement and mindfulness.
Combining this with physical activity and nature we aim to create a balanced wholesome approach to empowering children to lead healthy, happy lives.
