A Mentor is
— A Transformative Force
Mentorship rises above ordinary care, with the power to uncover potential where others see limits.

True mentors invest in both your immediate and future growth, offering guidance drawn from deep wells of experience and intuition.
They masterfully blend support, challenge, and inspiration, providing a safe space to explore and surpass your boundaries without fear.

Mentors instill lasting seeds of knowledge and confidence, standing by you through successes and setbacks with unwavering commitment and a genuine desire to see you thrive. More than individual transformation, mentorship forges a legacy that challenges the status quo and inspires generations.

Reflect and Recognise:
Who has shaped your journey? What qualities do you treasure in a mentor?
Celebrate and spotlight these guiding lights whose influence endures in you and sparks inspiration in the eyes of your children.

What happens if you let curiosity lead the way? You embark on a transformative journey where every moment is an invitation to explore, learn, and grow. This path is paved with the magic of wonder, turning the mundane into the extraordinary and the familiar into frontiers of discovery. It’s where the thirst for knowledge meets the joy of exploration, and life itself becomes an exhilarating quest for understanding.

In the heart of this world, every day is a journey of discovery. Mud is a canvas, rocks are treasures, and every animal and drop of freshwater hold the magic of new life. The children, with their wild curiosity, were explorers of a world without borders, where learning was not a chore but a joyful, endless game.

Lyrics: Felton Lee, Sunrise

Let`s go, let`s go, let`s go!
I slide in like I`m dancing
In my socks in the kitchen
Open the windows, let the air in
Get the stereo blaring
I`m feeling alright down right, grooving on the floor
I got my broom mic, I might sing a little chorus like
You better love this life
You only get one before you say goodbye, you know
It could pass you by
And float on off like a dandelion so
Don`t blink your eye
Grab your blessings squeeze `em tight, hold on
Just hold on tight
Hold on, hold on tight (ah)
Ooh, waking up with the sunrise
It always brings a better day
Ooh, it brightens up my mind
Oh yeah, nah
And I said
Hold fast to the light
Don`t get in your way
Just hold on tight
Move fast, don`t be shy
Just get on your feet
Just get yourself right like
Ooh, waking up with the sunrise!
Sunrise, sunrise! ...

In the heart of our community, story isn’t just shared; it’s interwoven into our collective threads of humanity, when nurtured by ancestral wisdom.

Sunday, March 10th.

Walking these ancient lands with our children, enveloped by community, we gather for @savewallum.

We seek guidance from our revered elders, reminding us that this issue, as old as time, is seeking light on the matter.

As our sons steep forward, they are guided by the path of barefoot men, they are the heirs to the legacy of wisdom that comes with the pace of country.

Our elders reminds us of our resent trials, from fires to floods and flu, urgently calling us to circle round, pause, grieve, and work together for healing.

Blessed is this land, rich in diversity, where today’s rainbow of people looked starved of ancient stories of stars and the songs of Earth Mother.

We are not mere participants but perpetual learners, today we are drawing lessons from peaceful protests and sacred ceremonies.

In the heart of our community lies true education for our children.

Gratitude to those who came before, stand with us now, and will join us in the future—our kin, bonded by the diverse ropes of culture, pulsating with those who have the capacity to feel and belong... relationship is the cornerstone of getting us back on track as caretakers of motherland alongside all her unique native inhabitants.

Always on Aboriginal land. 🫶🏾

In realms of real education ,
dreams may take flight,
Children roaming free,
In the land of delight.
With every leap,
a lesson unfolds,
In the magic of play,
wisdom is oftentimes untold.

Through games
and make-believe,
We learn to explore,
In curiosity’s dance,
We yearn for more.

For in the joy of play,
true learning thrives,
Where wonder reigns
And adventure thrives.
So let childhood be a symphony of play,
Where lessons are learned in the most joyful way.

Behind every young mind that believes in the power of their dreams is a mentor who taught them the strength of their own potential. Fathers, or male mentors provide not just guidance, but a living example of what it means to walk with integrity, resilience, and purpose. They don’t just prepare the path for the young; they prepare the young for the path.

In the WEBS of social media, we often share what we do, but not always who we are. Here’s a glimpse into the essence of our lives, our own unique remedy for existence. As the new year ushers in, bringing with it the certainly of routine, we often find our family time diminishing.

We’ve just bid farewell to our beloved family from Sweden 🇸🇪who stayed with us over the best holiday of our family time, filling our home with laughter and love.

In our neck of the woods, like many of our friends, we don’t have family nearby to lean on. Yet, we’re blessed with an incredible community - a community we adore, support, and who unequivocally have our backs. Amid this ocean of love, however, there’s a tinge of sorrow.

I sit in quiet grief as my nephew and niece, who’ve been growing up wonderfully without my guidance, now on their plane, heading back home to winter’s hug. Their departure leaves a void, yet also a treasure trove of memories. To celebrate the ordinary of precious moments, here’s a video of our time together - a keepsake of joy, laughter, and a bond that even distance cannot diminish.

Parenting among the trees continues to be our family’s most treasured retreat destination. As busy modern parents ourselves, it reminds us that parenting and childhood, and all stages of life, are all about growing deep roots while also branching out fearlessly, beyond daily pressures and individual desires. When we roam the open spaces of the country, we may sanction ourselves with the space we need to create opportunities for more compassion & heartfelt conversations 💚 #ForestFamily #GrowingTogether #DeepLearning #WeAreAllnThisTogether ...

Why choose us? Because we’re not just about fun and games; we’re about nurturing lifelong skills in a natural, engaging environment. #BeyondFun #SkillsForLife #NatureNurtures #NaturalLearning #HomeSchool ...

Running on bare ground, under the watchful eyes of ancient trees, there’s a tangible feeling that we gather for - the feeling of being truly seen. Not just for who we are, but for who we can become. Hey mum, this is a gentle reminder that we, too, are part of something larger, something beautifully interconnected, familiar, and wise.

A heartfelt shoutout to all the parents – you are the unsung heroes nurturing these young spirits. Your dedication to raising such nature-connected children is nothing short of remarkable.

In the dawn of time, we thrived under nature`s canopy, as hunters and gatherers, intimately connected to the Earth. While we cannot stroll back into this past, we can weave its wisdom into our future. Let us champion a new era where care for self, others, and nature forms the heart of our journey. Let`s nurture these core values, of creating a holistic form of respect and resilience for self, others and our planet is as natural as breathing. How will you join the movement in shaping this future?

In Frames, Not Grades!

We keep this love in photographs,
not report cards.
Each picture a story,
a moment frozen in time,
Capturing our laughter,
our love, in its prime.

We traded grades for grins,
in frames we confide,
Not in numbers or letters,
but in joy we can’t hide.

Through the lens of life,
our love story may be told,
Not in achievements,
but in moments bold.

In every snapshot,
a tale of us, unspoken,
Of the times we were happy,
Of hearts spoken and unbroken.

Pictures they whisper
Of windy, sunny and bright,
Of hugs in the rain,
of kisses on hurts,
Everything be alright.

Let us aim high and higher
capturing love as we go,
In smiles and glances,
and in presence we glow.

For in these pictures,
our tale will always last,
In frames, not grades,
we hold onto dear past.
