I liked the knowledge that was shared. And I also enjoyed the learning process especially talking about nature and ecology. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. I enjoyed the importance of learning about outdoors and the environment.

I learned how impactful; we are as early childhood educators are in our little people’s lives. From the workshop I got a new/renewed appreciation of the local natural environment where I have lived and grew up (Southside Cairns). Thank you for inspiring me to return back to studying mt B. Ed ECE.

Alison encouraged us passionately to reconnect with nature and how we can influence young children in our care to nurture a deeper connection to the natural world. I loved the Elm Dance. The entire workshop was a feast for the senses – ears, eyes, body and mind – it was incredible. It was inspiring and thought provoking. Alison opens up pathways in your brain that have been shut down or inactive – you can literally feel it responding!!
