Nature Workshops
Deepening our connection with nature brings us back to ourselves and nurtures our empathy for others.
Our workshops are designed to take place outdoors, in natural settings that encourage stillness, presence, and reflection. They offer a chance to ground into the earth and pause long enough to listen, learn, and receive its quiet wisdom. When being outside isn’t possible, we thoughtfully create indoor spaces and tablescapes that bring nature in—inviting the same sense of calm and connection.
As we align with the rhythms of the seasons, we begin to recognise those same cycles within us - mirroring our own waves of change, growth, and rest.
Foraging
Learning and Discovering what grows around us in our guided foraging walks where you'll explore native plants you can eat, flowers and herbs for healing, and natural fibres for crafting and making.
Our talks and walks invite guests to reconnect with the land they live on — helping them feel grounded in their environment and empowered to confidently engage with the natural world.
Creative Making
Nature offers more than nourishment — it also provides beautiful materials to create with. Each season brings its own unique gifts, inviting us to explore creativity in tune with the natural world.
Through hands-on, nature-based making, guests are encouraged to step out of their heads and into their bodies. Creative play becomes a grounding, joyful experience — and everyone leaves with something homemade, meaningful, and uniquely their own.
Dining Experiences
Seasonal, nature-inspired gatherings that nourish both body and soul.
Wild Ivy curates intimate dining events in stunning settings, led by renowned chefs and shaped by the flavours, scents, and stories of the season. Each experience is designed to spark connection, celebrate the natural world, and leave a lasting impression.
From winter feasts under candlelight to sunlit summer picnics, every detail is crafted with care — using foraged ingredients, sustainable décor, and mindful touches. These gatherings offer more than just a meal; they invite guests to slow down, share stories, and savour the moment.
