Hi, we are Tom and Emma-May, the founders of Wild at Hartley. Wild at Hartley grew out of a desire to foster nature connected community. It’s a space where we can find and nurture a sense of belonging and kinship with the Earth and with each other. 

All of our programs are heart-centred, out in nature, full of practical hands-on learning, music 

Nature Connection Programs

bushcraft workshops

Hands-on workshops where you will learn practical skills to hone your awareness and connect more deeply to the natural world. From primitive fire, shelter making, and carving, to foraging and honing sensory awareness, these courses have something for everyone.

Wild Weekend Retreats

Join us for a whole weekend to slow down, reconnect and dive deeper into skills. Held on our beautiful riverside property in Hartley, these retreats weave together bushcraft, nature connection, storytelling and rest – offering space to breathe, learn and belong.

Bush School

Rooted in curiosity, play, and respect for the Earth, our programs nurture practical skills, confidence, and a deep sense of belonging in nature – helping young people feel at home in themselves and the world around them. Come join the Wild Tribe and get grubby by the creek!

Are you longing for belonging?

We offer a space to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and a wild-hearted tribe.
