Bringing The Wilderness Within home 🤍

Last weekend, Kaya shared something deeply meaningful with her hometown community on Bribie Island. Sitting in the shade, meeting families, and watching children connect with this book felt quietly significant.

For our friends overseas, The Wilderness Within is now available on Amazon. This felt like a brave step, and seeing Kaya’s words move beyond our local community and into homes further away is incredibly special.

A book created to support children’s regulation, resilience, and connection through nature, story, and lived experience.

Holiday seasons can feel big for children.

Routines shift, days become louder and busier, and their nervous systems work hard to keep up with all the changes (as do ours). What looks like overwhelm or tricky behaviour is often a mirror to what’s going on around & within.

Restoring rhythm is the key to feeling harmony. Some ideas can be: Slow moments, blowing games, moving outside in open spaces, cosy quiet & clear corners. Predictable rhythms / routines inside unpredictable days. These small glimmers orientate a system to safety.

Children are not deliberately being difficult. They are responding to a world that suddenly feels different & are having a difficult time. When we meet them with presence, understanding and model security through co-regulation, we support, with the steadiness they need to return to balance.

If your family would like support navigating this season, our team is here.

A gentle reminder to meet emotions without judgement, especially in high demand seasons.
Children feel the energy of busy periods. They notice changes in routine, sound, pace and expectation. These shifts often live in their bodies before they show up in words.

Giving permission to feel means letting emotions arise without rushing them away. It means meeting tears with softness and meeting frustration with curiosity. It means reminding children that their inner world matters.

When we allow feelings to exist, children learn that nothing inside them is wrong or too much. They learn that they can move through big emotions with support and safety.
This is one of the greatest gifts we can offer them. 🌼

Children feel the meaning of safety first through their bodies. Before they have words, they sense rhythm, energy and the presence of the people around them.

Embodied learning honours this. It uses movement, breath and sensory experiences to re-awaken the nervous system's sense of safety.

A child who swings, climbs or runs is doing more than burning energy. They are integrating sensations. They are organising their body to meet their environment. They are playing with edges of cued danger & returning to grounded safety.

When we focus on embodied learning, we invite children to reconnect with their bodies in ways that expand confidence, curiosity, resilience & meaning. 🛝🌊⛹️‍♂️

Play is the safety bubble to explore the concepts & meaning in life.

Children make sense of their world through exploring curiously movement, emotions and ideas. Play is not a break from learning. Play is learning.

It invites the body to explore endless possibilities. It supports the nervous system to release tension. It gives children a safe place to practise problem solving, communication and emotional expression.

When a child’s nervous system is feeling tension, play can gently guide them back into balance. It lets them reset without pressure or expectation. Through play they learn how to take risks, recover, reconnect and re-organise themselves.

This is why we value play so deeply. It is the language of growth.🌈

Our team will be taking a holiday break from 20 December to 5 January. This time allows us to slow our pace, reconnect with family and settle our bodies after a full and meaningful year.

Rest is an important part of wellbeing. It gives our nervous systems space to reset and return with clarity, presence and energy for the next year's chapter.

Thank you for being part of our community & creating life rich moments with us. We look forward to sharing support with you again when we return in January.⭐️

Some gifts are more than something to unwrap. They offer understanding, reflection and a gentle invitation to slow down and reconnect with meaning.

The Wilderness Within was created with this intention. It is a book that holds space for growth, curiosity and the quiet wisdom we each hold within us. Often left unheard in busy seasons.

If you know someone who would feel warmth by a gift like this, share it with them and let them know you believe in them.

Such a wonderfully enriched experience to be held in connection, practice and learning at The Experiential Learning Summit.

A space to share authentically. Rich with stories that evoked laughter, tears, curiosity, resonance, reflection & inspiration.

Sharing embodied learning, in a circle, with water, walking, navigating, singing, playing & with sticks.

Lead with heart, learn with body, mind & spirit. We return with rich stories, expanded friendships & warm hearts. Inspired for what comes next.🌀

Gratitude to all those we shared this experience with.

Grounded by earth, soothed by sea.

There’s something powerful about reconnecting with the elements, feeling the texture of stone, the warmth of the sun, and the rhythm of the waves below.

Confidence isn’t built overnight. It grows through small, consistent experiences of success.

At Active OT, we support children to build confidence in the moments that matter most - through movement, play, connection and meaningful participation in daily life.

With a matched environment, encouragement and opportunities to practice, confidence becomes more than a skill. It becomes a way of being. 🦋

24/11/2025

Connection, curiosity and courage in motion.

Moments like these remind us that growth doesn’t always happen in structured spaces - sometimes it’s found in shared laughter, gentle challenges and time spent outdoors.

At Active OT, we see play and nature as powerful tools for building confidence, regulation and connection, one small adventure at a time.
