Nature play for kids

Amuse, engage and educate your little ones in nature, while exploring some of Sydney's most hidden gems.

 We are living amidst a global pandemic of disconnection and our children are suffering. With far too many hours spent engaging with screens instead of their environments, it’s no wonder so many children are obese, depressed, anxious and withdrawn.

We believe there is an easy solution - to bring our children back outside, to remind them of the playground in their backyards, to re-introduce them to the magic of the forest. 

Growing bodies of research indicate that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of both children and adults. The lack of nature in the lives of today’s youth has been called Nature-Deficit Disorder and is linked to some of the most disturbing childhood trends.

Children haven’t forgotten the power of nature; they merely haven’t had access to it. They have an innate ability to tune into their surroundings, connect and play. Balanced mental health begins here. We are here to help you deepen your children's relationships with nature and themselves. After all, our future is in their hands…

And into the bush we go, to lose our minds and find our souls. Such a beautiful afternoon spent connecting in the bush led by the wonderful Sarah Brikke. I have joined a few of her mindful bush walks now. It is amazing what you can see, hear and notice when you aren't in a hurry and when you are really tuned in, to self and to the earth. It is very grounding.

Before the walk, I was sad and I am now rejuvenated. Sarah is a gifted facilitator. She creates a safe space to express yourself and connect with nature, which I found very comforting. I learned new ways of looking at the world and definitely felt positive results in the days after. It is also a great way to connect with like minded people and break up the mundane. Beautiful locations too. Highly recommend.

Sarah is a breath of fresh air! I’ve joined her in her bush walks and she has so much knowledge and awareness for her surroundings. She’s calm and great fun, fantastic with children too.

Healing with Nature is a beautiful program by Sarah. Our participants living with disabilities and our staff absolutely loved the program. It was engaging, full of knowledge sharing by Sarah, calming and a wonderful sensory experience in nature. I highly recommend the program. Thank you.

By chance I came across Healing with Nature and sent my two kids on a day out with Sarah. They both had a brilliant time spent outdoors having fun and learning lots. Would highly recommend it. Beats any indoor screen time hands down. Kids raves about it! Thank you Sarah!
