“We create experiments. You discover what’s true for you.”
Earth is not the backdrop to your life. Earth is the school.
Life is not something happening to you while you wait to figure things out. Life is the curriculum.
You are already enrolled. You always have been.
The question is whether you’re paying attention.

Caring for yourself is an act of caring for your family.
Experiment with the many ways you can use to create a life that you (and your family) love.
Imagine a world where families slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace the magic of everyday life through hands-on experiences.
"Earth Experiments" is a unique monthly challenge designed to inspire children and their families to explore the natural world together—through real-life learning, creativity, and simple rituals that cultivate mindfulness and connection.
Whether you're just looking for something to make the preschool or early homeschool years journey easier by accessing readymade thematic units, you're a gentle adult looking for your own personal growth and healing work, or you're looking for both in community with others, Earth Experiments is for you.
Each S.T.E.A.M unit for children centres around an anchor picture book and explores a theme for a week (or extend it out for longer) provides an easy access to real-life, hands on learning for young children. Simple, at home resources and repeatable options means you can tailor each Earth Experiment to your child and your family.
And each adult unit asks you to gently come home to yourself, the you that's deeper and wider than simply your parenting role. These units are designed to invite you to small practices, just for you. Meet your true authentic self where you're at, explore your depths and experiment with diferent ideas and practices to see what you uncover about yourself and how you create a life you love. Adult units are designed to mirror the themes within the children's units but through more of a personal growth focus. Contemplations, meditations, journaling and other practices will provice you with a lens on the child-unit concept that is more holistic and supports in healing your inner child (mindfully supporting you to parent in evolved ways outside of your own wounding), vital in a world that continually signals to us to fit inside a box created by societal conditioning..
More than just activities, Earth Experiments nurtures holistic development, weaving together mindfulness, sensory exploration, and emotional well-being into each experience. Families will be supported to integrate real-world skills like gardening, foraging, natural building, and self-sufficiency. The challenges support STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) in an intuitive, nature-based way, helping children develop critical thinking, creativity, and a deep sense of stewardship for the planet. Whether homeschooling, worldschooling, or simply seeking a richer family life, these monthly experiences offer a refreshing alternative to screen-based learning, fostering resilience and adaptability in a fast-changing world.
At its heart, Earth Experiments is about belonging—to nature, to each other, and to a greater rhythm of life* In a time when families are craving deeper connection, this is an invitation to slow down and engage in meaningful learning that feels like play, magic, and adventure.
Join us on this journey of discovery, and make every month a living, breathing experiment in wonder.
My Child's Experience
My Child's Experience
My child gets to learn by doing — touching, observing, making, discovering. Growing herbs, understanding seasons, getting their hands into the earth. Nobody is telling them who they are or who they should be. They're just being given the space to show up, and what comes out is them — unfiltered and real. And when I start to see it through a different lens, I stop seeing behaviour problems. I start seeing my child's nature. The one who can't sit still isn't difficult — they're alive in a particular way. The one who hangs back and watches isn't shy — they're taking it all in, in exactly the way that's true for them. I'm learning to see my child for the first time.
What I get to witness
What I get to witness
Watching my child here does something I didn't expect. I can see who they are before the world has shaped them into something more manageable — and it stops me. Because somewhere in watching them, I start to feel the edges of who I was before that happened to me too. It's not heavy. Nobody names it. It just arises — quietly, in real life — while I'm standing in a field or watching my kid press their hands into soil without hesitating for a second.
My own experience
My own experience
I came here for my child, or I came for myself — but somehow I've ended up in the same place either way. Meeting a version of me that I'd almost forgotten. The experiments give me permission to try things without needing to be good at them. To follow what my body responds to rather than what I think I should be doing. To learn a season instead of a schedule. That permission turns out to be the thing I needed most — because somewhere along the way, I learned that my worth lived inside my performance. Here, it doesn't have to.
