"Our family participated in a ReWilding weekend with Lee and Gina in the summer of 2014. We thought that we were going to learn some bush survival skills and how to connect with nature, but we came away with so much more.  We not only learned some physical skills such as fire-making and camouflage, we also travelled an emotional and spiritual journey, learning to understand our deep ancestral connection with nature and how to tune in to the rhythms and melodies of the bush.

Lee and Gina are superb facilitators: they were flexible and responded to our needs and energy levels, they led games with fun and child-like wonder, they debriefed activities with sensitivity which led to emotional understanding and healing, they encouraged experiential learning and were at all times positive and supportive. Our teenage children loved the experience and really responded to Lee and Gina's sensitive and strong leadership and we as parents took as much (if not more) from the weekend. 

We would highly recommend ReWilding to all of our friends as a superb way to not only reconnect with nature but also to reconnect with ourselves and what is important in life.
If we can help to promote your work in any way down here on the far south coast, please let us know.  We are keen to get you down this way again, either for our family or maybe for a tribe of friends."

"Hi Lee and Gina, 

The ReWilding weekend was certainly transformational for us and its effects are ongoing. We feel like it was a life changing event for us and some of the most enjoyable days we have ever had as a family.

Here are a few thoughts:
  • The weekend was tailored specifically to our needs and to where we were at.
  • You gave each of us positive encouragement at all times which acknowledged our strengths and encouraged us to continue to develop.
  • You addressed and embraced the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the journey.
  • We enjoyed tapping in to the rhythms of nature and slowing down to the heart-beat of the earth.
  • We enjoyed fun, play and connecting with our inner child.
  • The learning of physical skills was broken down into easily digestible chunks.
  • We gained an understanding of the bush and how much more there is to learn.
  • We learned respect and understanding.
  • We enjoyed sharing stories and working with our hands.
  • We loved tapping in to our ancestral knowledge and our intuition.
  • We enjoyed cooking and eating together and sharing time around the campfire."

"Lee is at home in the wild. His grace and skill in survival, trapping and bushcraft is remarkable.
His love and respect for nature and his level of comfort in a wild environment is inspiring.
He's also a gifted teacher. I'd want him in my tribe."
