FREE TO JUST BE
Our mission is to inspire children and families to spend more time outdoors - to slow down, have fun, be curious, creative, and sometimes, to simply just be.
Nature is our teacher, her rhythm guiding us through the seasons.​
​
Through our Growing with Nature program we blend in play, mindfulness and restorative storytelling to nurture a deeper connection with Mother Earth, with our community and with ourselves.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lidia! In 2019, I started Big Scrub with the vision of sharing my love for nature play and nature pedagogy with families and educators across Australia. But along the way, I discovered that intentional time spent in nature with our children can offer so much more - it can become a tool for presence, and above all, connection.
I am a fully qualified Forest School leader with certifications in Therapeutic nature play, Restorative storytelling and Mindfulness in nature.
I am proud to have worked with hundreds of families and children and my biggest love project to date has been the publication of my first book, Growing with Nature.
