NATURE EDUCATION
OUR THREE PILLARS
Magic of Imagination
imagination is key for the heart and mind to grow into it's full potential.
Without imagination, our world of design, creativity and empowerment would instead be monotonous, boring and disempowering. Sticks and mud become bridges, stones become wheels, and challenges into understanding and love.
Self Purpose
From creating in nature a momentum of self purpose in each child blossoms.
When a child designs their own world with nature's love and shares it with friends, they learn the value of community. When they share their experiences with mentors who see their gifts and listen to their challenges, each child feels worthy and empowered.
Connection with Nature
A relationship with nature will enable every child to an empowered state.
As we foster nature connections to the seasons of growth and decay, we experience that the abundant beauty and the cycles of the natural world is within us. The ebb and flow of a tide and a nurse log growing a whole forest.
Foundation & Values
We are One. We are Unique.
We are innovation. We are kindness.
We are the present, the past and the future torchbearers for humanity.
Why Forest Schools for children?
We are a Nature School, also known as a Forest School, or in this case Earth School!
Forest schools have proven to have a deep impact toward positive psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual health in humans. We are proud to light this candle as a nature school so the foot steps of a brilliant, purposeful, connected humanity can be seen, known and taken. When the classroom becomes our beautiful Earth, deep listening and knowing of one's self, kinship with the Earth and wider community is forged for healthy, inspired, motivated children who are connected to their hearts, minds and bodies.
Why Aliannah Earth School?
No tree is too small, too unworthy to be loved. No rock is too grey to be marvelled at. Each wonderful particle of life is something to be celebrated, and by joining our forest school, we will share in the miraculous musical mosaic of life together.
We are Enough.
In our forest school, we teach edibility of garden, forest and ocean plants as well as native plant hazards and important medicinal plant uses.
We are sustainable.
​
What we do with our days?
In our days spent together, children learn to appreciate the beauty, resilience and stories in nature, which reflects the beauty, resilience and stories in themselves and their place in this world, the stars and the soil.
We are Free.
In our days spent together, children are also allowed the freedom to create and expand their potential in art, music, movement, herbalism and wilderness bush crafting, learning what individual expansion, unlimited imagination, sustainability and eco-responsibility means when using natural resources.
We are resourceful and intelligent.
As the day unfolds, we explore with our five senses and awaken deep intuition by communicating with all kingdoms plant life, animal life, be it through voice, subtle vibrations or the heart.
We allow communication to flow with us and natural surroundings.
​
What is our ethos for a safe environment?
Children's safety is always at our forefront. Healthy boundaries and rules foster a safe container for this freedom to be oneself to be experienced and tested, and expanded. In our forest school, all emotions, and states of being are accepted, honoured, witnessed. They get to connect with peers in a safe, empathetic co-operative and healthy competitive environment.
We are a family and we are adaptable.
What is our inspiration?
Most importantly, all our activities are led by the heart and fun. We have tea parties, dance off's, pokemon shape shifting villains, doll making, poetry sessions, face decorating, rock puzzle smashing, jedi staff carving and lots and lots of silly games.
We celebrate LIFE and PLAY.
Nature and Life are intertwined. The more we connect with nature and see it as an incredible teacher and classroom, the better our understanding of Life is.
Why?
Our dream is to mentor the future generation, the dancers, the engineers, the hairdressers, the software programmers, the bakers, and so on so they can all learn the value and beauty of turning to the Organic and Present World as a source of safety, inspiration, play and creation.
In turn, the Natural World will keep giving us her familial wonders.
Thank you for sharing this dream with Us!
