Wild Awake

I need to find my place

Slow down, wake up your senses and find a sit spot you return to.

A day of noticing, wondering and belonging: unplug, open your senses, find your sit spot and begin to know one place.

Coming soon. Jay is giving this book and its activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they're ready.

Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
