Join our monthly newsletter

A free, nourishing letter for families, once a month.

Hello and welcome. We’re so happy you are here.

Our story.

Ananda Kids began as a simple offering from our family to others, shaped by years of experience working with children and families and a desire to share our love of creativity, nature and holistic living.

We have run Ananda Kids programs and workshops for our local homeschooling community for many years and now we are excited to be sharing our offerings worldwide.

Our offerings: the 5 petals of Ananda Kids.

Through this space, we share simple, meaningful tools and reflections that have supported the wellbeing of families in real, lived ways, both in our own family and in the spaces we've held for others.

Each month, our newsletter offers gentle, nurturing ideas you can weave naturally into family life, including:

Creative, seasonal prompts and art ideas shaped by our work with children and families
Gentle yoga and mindful movement practices
Simple breath and nature grounding tools that support balance and self-awareness
Reflections on holistic living and conscious parenting
Slow living ideas that support a more connected family rhythm

just small, supportive practices that have proven meaningful for fostering calm, creative, connection.

"expertly crafted to playfully blend art, nature, yoga and general wellbeing"

At Ānanda Kids, Natalie and Adam, together with their gorgeous children, cats, dog and chickens; have created a wonderfully warm and welcoming multi-aged learning space where curiosity blooms and friendships flourish as children discover the joys of learning and playing together. An eclectic mix of hands-on activities are offered - many embracing culturally diverse art and craft experiences. Pottery, sewing and weaving, Yoga, gardening, cooking, music and storytelling are particularly popular pursuits. Every activity is thoughtfully designed to foster creativity, practical skills, cooperation, collaboration and a sense of responsibility and gratitude for our natural world. If you are looking for kindness, wellness and truly positive learning experiences for your children you should certainly consider the offerings at Ānanda Kids.
