Online Courses

If you can’t make it to our on-site training days, then the Birdwings Forest School online courses provide accessible training and online support to gain knowledge and experience in forest school approaches and nature pedagogy in Australia. Our short courses provide videos, downloads and tasks to inspire and enliven your practice with children in nature.

On-Site Training

Our on-site training courses for mentoring children through wild nature play are held on our site on Kobumerri Country in the Gold Coast. Tap into your intuition, creativity and nature awareness through practical skills, creative arts, theory and connection practices. These training days are beneficial both as a practical course for beginners in nature play, forest school, playwork and therapeutic settings – and also for experienced practitioners who wish to move deeper into their creativity and intuition with nature mentoring.
