🌿Woodland Adventure Day for ages 8–12🌿

Half-term is nearly here, and it’s time for the wildlings to have a woodland adventure!

They’ll spend the day learning bushcraft skills - lighting campfires with firesteels, cooking their own lunch over the flames, building shelters, and getting to grips with real tools like knives, axes and saws. There’s also plenty of time to just be and play in the woods, with hammocks, swings, ziplines, and exploring.

It’s a full day of hands-on play and learning in the beauty of the Autumn woodland.

No tests, no scores, no screens, just plenty of time to play and learn, make their own decisions, make mistakes, figure stuff out.

Small group and big freedom! With our experienced and qualified Forest School and Bushcraft leaders they’ll be well looked after too.

If your child loves being outdoors (or you think they need more of it!), this is a great day for them.

📍 Warley Woods, Bearwood, B67
🗓 Tuesday 27th October, 10am-3pm

A lovely peaceful morning in the sunny woodland with our women’s group. The birds sang and the campfire crackled, whilst we gave ourselves permission to slow down and notice the shapes and patterns all around us.

We explored the autumn leaves and colours through ink printing, inspired by By Sarah Lynne 🌿💚 and enjoyed chickpeas and flatbreads cooked over the campfire.

Grounded is our regular gathering for women and our next session is on Saturday 7th November in Warley Woods, B67 5ED. Pay-as-you-can tickets up on bookwhen.com/wildlives now!

Brilliant day training with Tom and some of the team at Coventry Outdoors playing loads of different kinds of games and learning how to use them to manage energy in a group. After a lot of time spent doing paperwork this week it was exactly the fun day of play I needed! Can’t wait to give them a go with our groups.

This is one of a series of training days that Coventry Outdoors are offering as part of their professional development group - link in comments.

💚🌳🌲

Trees are not just nature allies but quiet teachers, offering timeless wisdom on how to grow, rest, and stand whole through every season of life.

Here are a few nurturing lessons we can receive from them:

🌳Root down before reaching high: True stability comes from invisible work. When we nourish our foundation—our boundaries, rest, and core values—we create a safe, grounded base that allows us to stretch toward new possibilities without losing our balance.

🌳Bend so you do not break: Trees do not resist the wind; they move with it. Flexibility in body, mind, and spirit allows us to navigate life’s storms with grace, trusting that our roots will keep us anchored even when the winds carry intensity.

🌳Trust the quiet seasons: A tree in winter appears still, yet it is not dying—it is conserving energy and preparing from deep within. Rest is not a lack of progress; it is an essential part of the living cycle that makes future blooms possible.

🌳Shed what no longer serves: When autumn arrives, trees let go of their leaves without struggle or regret, knowing that holding on will only cause strain. Releasing old burdens, expectations, and past stories creates space for fresh vitality to emerge.

🌳Grow at your own gentle pace: A tree does not rush to flower or compete with the one beside it. It unfolds according to its own innate intelligence, honoring its unique rhythm and trusting that its presence is already enough.
In moments of noise or uncertainty, stepping near a tree reminds us that healing and self-discovery don't require force—only time, space, and a commitment to staying connected to our roots.
