Meet Our Tribe
At our Forest School in South Devon, we truly believe that learning should be wild and natural. Intune with the seasons around us, as well as the ones within us. To explore, create, keep curious and to flow with our imaginations and hearts deepest callings from the land.
​
Meet Molly, Orpheus, and Babushka - our Forest School Tribe.
Molly
Molly created Where Wildlings Flow many, many moons ago. She is a fully qualified Forest School Teacher, Ancient storyteller, gentle activist for Mother Earth, Archeress, Map Maker and much more. She is an artist who uses her heart and hands to create an anciently carved tapestry of a world she wishes to be. She is always wearing flowers in her hair, with her wolf pup Orpheus beside her. She lives so rooted to the earth, yet so deeply connected to the celestial spheres. She sees gardens within us all, and she gives her all to your wildlings being able to wildly bloom.
Orpheus is Molly’s Therapy Dog. He is half Golden retriever, half Pyrenees mountain dog. Molly adopted Orphie from Bulgaria almost four years ago now. He became a fully qualified Therapy dog in 2021 to walk beside Molly and wildlings in the woods. His gentle, wise, intuitive nature makes his presence an incredibly sacred one, as he is very intune with people’s emotions.
Orpheus
Babushka
Babushka- Our beloved Gypsy wagon abode, nestled in our ancient woodland. A grandmother spirit and an outdoor classroom for the wildlings to delve into their curiosities about the natural world, with hands and hearts. Molly bought her back to life, to honour her spirit and share her soul with all who get to learn within her.
Welcome, wildlings of all ages, hearts, and souls. Our forest school is a place where curiosity thrives, where seeds of possibility are sown, and where ancient stories are woven through our woodland. Come and join our community, where we'll explore the wonders of nature, learn from the trees, and discover the magic between the soil beneath us and stars above us. Let's embrace the wild within and nurture a deeper connection to our natural world.
Our Wildlings
The Story of Where Wildlings Flow
Molly created ‘Where Wildlings Flow’ in 2016. A time of rebirth for herself. A time of finding the light, through the dark. She created a character of a young girl named Flow. She began to write a book about her world. One where she was re- nurturing herself from a child.
Once becoming a qualified Forest School teacher six years ago, it was entirely clear to Molly how this path aligned with her stories within Where Wildlings Flow. It was abundantly clear how the character and world she was creating was in fact her rebirth, her healing. Her truest self. Her re-rooting to the natural world around her as well as the ancient roots within her.
Before becoming a fully qualified Forest School teacher, she embarked on adventures across Europe amongst Event design and Theatrical Stage design, becoming a Costume Mistress, teaching Map making, Treasure hunts and Nature workshops across Europe in pirate ships in the Netherlands and within tipis in the French hills. And since becoming a Forest School Teacher, Molly has almost solely worked with SEMH and SEN wildlings needing nurturing.
Nature Therapy & Woodland Wellbeing
Helping Wildings Connect With Nature
​
Surrounded by towering trees and the soft rustle of leaves, we delve into the heart of nature therapy, where each lesson is a new adventure in the wild. With every step on the mossy ground, we draw inspiration from the vibrant ecosystem, exploring the wonders of flora and fauna, and learning to listen to the gentle songs of the forest.
As wildlings, they embrace their innate curiosity, engaging in hands-on activities that spark their creativity and foster resilience.
What We Do
Our odyssey is to give wildings a deeper connection to our natural world. Through learning with our hands and hearts, whilst curing our curiosities amongst ancient rituals and traditional crafts, we focus upon workshops that co-exist with the seasons. Taking care of the gardens around us, as well as the gardens within us. We are growing a garden we wish to be. An anciently woven Forest School tapestry.
