A little love for our Rewild Village
I'm sitting with a full heart (and a very tired body) after another two weeks of the Rewild Your Child camps over the spring school holidays.
Every time I leave these camps I come out a little clearer, a little softer and a little more aware of the places I still have room to grow.
These camps stretch me in new and unexpected directions....everytime.
I learn about my own tender places, the nourishment of connection and play, and how deeply we humans long to feel at home in ourselves, our families, our community and in the wild.
I am reminded that growth (both personal and collective) is inherently uncomfortable, often messy, but also ultimately founded in love).
I'm also grateful for the power of the simple ceremonies of time in nature without walls, of play and connection being proiritised as essential nutrients for us all. As well as the shared vision of being part of something greater than the sum of us!
These camps are an absolute BEAST to wrangle. So many moving parts, unpredictable weather, big feelings, logistical puzzles, differing needs and humans being human.
But together, we make it work.
To our kids and teens, a very special thank you. You are not just the reason we gather, you are what gives these camps their purpose. Thank you for bringing your whole selves, for your curiosity, your playfulness, your honesty, your challenges and your willingness to be part of this wild, imperfect experiment in community, connection and ADVENTURE. We learn so much from you.
And to the parents, mentors, elders, cooks, fire keepers, village builders, quiet helpers and every single person who brought their heart, hands, energy and care: THANK YOU.
It takes a village to build a village.
And what a privilege it is to keep growing one together. 💚
Until the next time we gather under the open sky.
