Today was a milestone day for our humble social enterprise. It was a day that highlighted the growth we have experienced over the last seven years and offered a glimpse into the future of the sustainable, team-driven, collaborative and community-minded organisation that we strive to be.
Another instalment of Educated by Nature Sing-a-long! This is a song very dear to our hearts. It was written by one of our dear friends (and original Educated by Nature team member, Jessica Taylor) and was a huge hit at our Mud Pies Nature Playgroups. It’s now a song that is adored by Daniel’s nieces…
This song is one I learnt during my time at the Art of Mentoring Camp in California in 2016 (and 2017). The song, When I Was Young, was sung in a gathering to send the teens off on their overnight rites of passage trek. The whole community (300 people) gathered around these teens and wished…
Daniel sings another song from our Mud Pies Nature Playgroup days and one we sing at many of our school incursions: ‘It’s Good to See You’ by Don Williams. This is a wonderful song to welcome people together, create a sense of community and connect a group through the power of song!
Daniel’s at it again! This time it’s the Bear Song, another hit from our days of running KIN Village Junior (our program for 4 – 7 year olds and their parents). It’s a wonderful song that would get the whole group singing call and response. So much fun!

We’ve also been missing working together as a big connected community – we seriously have so much fun! So we’ve decided to ‘get together’, Iso style,…

While the opportunity for connection and family time is a welcome one in our fast paced world, it’s important to remember that everyone needs their own space and time to be still……
When Daniel and Trudi first launched Educated by Nature 5 years ago, Mud Pies Nature Playgroups is where it all stared. Sessions for 0 – 5 year olds and their parents in local bush land spaces. Magical moments of exploration, nature connection, simple carpentry, story telling, adventure, risk, mess, and we couldn’t forget, MUSIC. Ukulele…
As schools in WA are tentatively returning, Daniel reflects on what this means for communities, giving gratitude and sending thoughts out to all those incredible educators, as well as to parents and children as they navigate this change.
