Nature Philosophy's Wild Village connects elders, parents, mentors, young people and children with wild sourced wisdom and earth based community. We acknowledge that our Wild Village members are the change makers of the future. In exploring and learning from the dynamics of the Wild Village each member makes a vital contribution to the transformation of modern culture.
The WILD VILLAGE family experience facilitates deeply relaxing into our wild surrounds so we can all unwind and organically move through our days with resting, playing, learning and yarning.
All Village members will be free to move in and through the area as their instincts dictate and, as per a truly earth based tribe experience, young children will be warmly welcomed into every aspect of our Village community.
The Wild Village allows us all to discover and know we belong to something bigger - bigger than the "me" ideology that so often dominates our modern world. We invite you to join Nature Philosophy's Wild Village and connect with a global movement where the ancient traditions of earth-based communities are once again finding their relevance in the modern world.
Katie and her team acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, of the ancestors and elders – past and present, on which her programs take place. Katie would like to especially recognise the elders past and present who she regularly collaborates with in running her programs. This includes elders from the Gumbanyggirr and Yaegl people of the North Coast of NSW and her adopted Yolngu families of North-East Arnhem Land.
Katie and her team acknowledge that survival skills and nature connection practices are a global knowledge bank held by humans from all races and countries. Katie acknowledges her Scottish, Irish, European and Armenian ancestral lineages and their traditional earth-based living skills.
Survival skills and nature connection practices are the original ways of living that once allowed all humans to exist in harmony with the Earth. In today's world, these traditional earth-based skills remain essential — not only for personal resilience but also for fostering a deeper balance with the natural world. By keeping these practices alive, Katie’s programs help ensure a thriving future for the next generations — one that is in alignment with natural laws and supports a sustainable, interconnected way of life.
