Calm in the Wild
Helping people think better through curiosity and nature.
Thoughtful, inclusive and rooted in care.
Bringing Wellbeing into the Wild
Our Mission
At Calm in the Wild, we create welcoming outdoor spaces where curiosity can flourish.
We believe curiosity helps us notice more, think more clearly, feel calmer and connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and the natural world.
As a neurodivergent-led Community Interest Company, we use nature to create gentle, inclusive experiences for parents and carers of children with additional needs, neurodivergent adults, educators and others who support those around them. Through curiosity, conversation and time outdoors, we aim to make wellbeing, connection and fresh thinking accessible to everyone.
Why I started Calm in the Wild
After more than 25 years as a teacher, and through my own experience as an AuDHD adult, I began to notice something.
Many of us spend our lives supporting other people, solving problems and carrying responsibility, yet rarely give ourselves time to slow down, notice or simply wonder.
Again and again, I found that nature offered something different. It invited people to become curious. To notice what was around them. To ask questions without needing immediate answers. And from that curiosity came calmer minds, fresh perspectives and meaningful conversations.
That's why I created Calm in the Wild.
It's a place where curiosity and nature come together to help people reconnect with themselves, with others and with the world around them.
If you've ever wanted a little more time to notice, wonder and think, this could be the right place.
What we do
Calm in the Wild creates thoughtful outdoor spaces where people can slow down, notice more, and connect with themselves, others and the natural world.
