Sophie and Leonie were exceptionally knowledgeable and keen to take every member of the group along, whatever their background or knowledge base. Their enthusiasm for foraging and the natural world was palpable. Particular highlights included being tasked with cooking the Scarlet Elf Cups and the tasting of nettle beer!Posted on Chloe DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Leonie and Sophie are fabulous hosts. Sharing their deep knowledge of the plants and the land with humour, gentleness and respect. No question was too stupid and the course suits beginners to more experienced folk alike. Well worth it and highly recommended.Posted on Victoria GoldsmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended a Live Wild foraging course and it was so insightful and humbling. Sophie and Leonie are really knowledgeable, making foraging accessible for any beginner. Who knew there is so much to forage in March! I'd really recommend any of their courses if you're interestedPosted on Georges AlmondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a beautiful day whittling and weaving with Nature Queers. So grounding and refreshingPosted on Bex ShindlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked Live Wild to lead a foraging workshop for students of The Mindful Kitchen Retreat Chef Training Programme. We spent a magical afternoon connecting with nature, wandering the woodland in search of edible plants and mushrooms, then cooking up our findings over the campfire. Sophie & Leonie have so much knowledge and experience, and they deliver it so passionately, it was a real highlight of our weekend. We also got to try some delicious foraged treats made by Sophie - we came away with so much inspiration! I would highly recommend these foraging experiences.Posted on MorriganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sophie and Leonie are super knowledgable and great guides. I went on their mushroom hunting course towards the end of the season, and it was awesome, so worth it! Would fully recommend.Posted on Bean Cheng (Hamia)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was instantly hooked after joining Live Wild’s autumn forage day course last year. I later signed up for their year-long course, The Forager’s Journey, as I wanted to dive deeper into the wisdom of the land. I also love the way the course guides you through the seasons, helping you understand how beautifully the ecosystem works throughout the year. This year I’ve learnt so much and truly deepened my relationship with nature. Not only have I gained knowledge, but I’ve also found friendship in a wonderful group of people. We cooked over the fire like a little tribe, using the seasonal foods we’d foraged, and shared the most amazing meals together. We’d sing songs and read poems by the flames, and the campouts were the cosiest and full of lovely memories. The course has changed me in so many ways. I’m far more confident in identifying mushrooms now, and I can’t wait to start foraging again come springtime! Leonie and Sophie are both incredibly talented, caring, and full of wisdom and experience.Load more
Monthly Nature Club and the Forager’s Journey are two of our flagship programmes here at Live Wild.
Watch our short reels for a flavour of what they are both about.
As old as the hills and as mysterious as the night sky, our connection to the wild world runs deep. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors interacted with nature all the time, relying on it for everything they needed to survive & thrive. From harvesting wild plants and mushrooms to making fire and nonouring natural cycles with ceremonies, these interactions were central to life. We have all inherited this legacy of wisdom and ability- it’s in our bones- but in an age of screens, cities, and endless information, it can be hard to access.
We invite you to rediscover this legacy. To realise how deeply we can connect, how alive we can feel, how empowered we can be, when we give ourselves the space to learn, play and explore.
We live wild by tuning in to all of our senses and to the cycles of nature. By awakening mind, body, heart, and spirit, we get to the places inside us where the magic and wisdom lie. We also find the joy, resourcefulness, cooperation, and resilience that helps to build strong communities.
In a fast changing world where so much of nature is in need of healing, learning to live wild goes beyond the human. Connecting to and understanding more about nature inspires us to take better care of it. We tend to the land that nourished us, and discover how to be inspirational ancestors for those humans yet to come.
