The Wild Stuff is here to share, explore, and practice traditional crafts and wellness alike. Creating quality wild-crafted medicines, supplying super-food ingredients for deeper connection to self, and bringing awareness to our relationships with what we put into our bodies is what we do. We strive to expand self-awareness and healing through wilderness connection, and through these practices create a global community rooted in the preservation of traditional craft and skill and the sharing of knowledge and stories with future generations.
What started as a deep curiosity quickly turned into a passion. Connecting with plants and learning how herbs could help to treat the body and mind on many different levels really opened up a beautiful path that I had no idea lay before me. Finding a new self-awareness so deep within me through being outdoors, walking with nature, and breathing with the seasons, I started to understand the relationships and the importance of spirit and connection to the earth, and like the many peoples before us I too embodied this connection and was one with it. Strengthening my relationships with like-minded folk, mentors old and new, dream work, and divine guidance really helped cement in my heart what it is I was meant to be doing: helping share this divine knowledge. Teaching people how to connect with each other and revealing to them the true benefits of connecting with nature, not only through medicines but foods as well, as they go hand in hand. Food is Medicine.
Just recently I have expanded my experience into the use of herbs and plants as super-foods. Through implementing them into my daily routines, examining myself, and feeling the effects while being guided, I have discovered a remarkable positive transformation not just in how I feel, but how I think about and experience the world around me. Ingesting just that of what the earth medicine can give us helps root us and connect us back to the circle. You can absolutely feel this on a cellular level. Experiencing such positive effects on my life through the use of super-foods in elixirs and cooking, I knew I wanted to share it with the followers and supporters of The Wild Stuff: deepening their connection to the earth as well as themselves and their awareness around health and nourishing the body. While spending time in nature to connect, ground, and revitalize, I understood the need for this on a global level.
It was then that The Wild Stuff ‘Goes Global’ was born: a non-profit educational organization rooted in the preservation of traditional crafts and skills. We travel the globe to connect with other teachers, mentors, crafters, herbalists, and the like, to share knowledge and learning with one another and pass this knowledge on to younger generations. We inspire children to get excited about the living world around them while teaching them skills to thrive in the natural environment not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and ultimately spiritually as well. We believe that when you cultivate a strong self awareness at a younger age, you are then prone to a better understanding within yourself and others, recognizing deeper emotions, improved management of stress, and a greater knowledge in how to communicate. Through acquiring these skills you will ultimately make better decisions not just for yourself, but for others as well. This then ripples through the ages creating a better world to come.
The Wild Stuff is here to learn from its peers and connect through community while sharing deep knowledge. Moving with the seasons, and honing skills of the natural world: the way nature intended it to be. Lets get back there. We are all connected.

Love your video about your commitment to the land and foraging, etc. So honest and well-presented. I love your connection and commitment to nature.
Will you be hosting bushcraft and other courses at some point?
Kind Regards 🙏
