About The Harmony
Treehouse
Hello I am Heidi!
Mama to two magical wild things. My life was utterly transformed the moment I knew I was going to be ‘Mum’ – did I anticipate being a puddle stomping, nature exploring, frog catching, treasure collecting, barefoot, Earth Mama? Not entirely, but my golly, gosh, am I grateful.
My wild boys, have led me to a place of mystic and wonder and have initiated me back to my soul and re-wilded me. They have reminded me about the magical connection between childhood and the natural world. Reminded me that magic still exists, all we need to do is open to the wonder of our inner worlds. Get our feet muddy, wear feathers and flowers in our hair, and walk a little on the wild side.
We are the ones who make the choice to live a full and creative life. We can choose a life where living in complete harmony with nature is our main virtue. We can choose to authentically explore ways of being and doing that align with our heart song, and when we do this, we heal deeply and we create a whole new pathway for generations to come.
My Playgroup, which is affectionately called Billy Buttons, came from a need and deep longing to connect with other like-minded parents. In my early days of navigating life as a new mother, as soulfully rewarding as they were, I found myself isolated and very lonely. I lost my mother in my early twenties and my sisters lived on the other side of the country and my husband worked long hours and often away. I was found myself dreaming about the proverbial village. It was never meant to be this hard. I was craving community and connection friends and company. I started creating this “village” in my head a beautiful safe place where parents and their children come together in love and support, dreaming, creating, telling stories, and most importantly growing and thriving together.
A Waldorf initiative was established in our community, and I joined in a heartbeat and found myself being drawn to the playgroup like nothing I had ever felt before. I had previous early childhood experience, but this was something so special I could not quite explain. I went on to complete my studies in Waldorf early childhood and outdoor classroom learning and facilitated playgroup for the Waldorf initiative for a few years.
When the time came, I knew in my heart of hearts that facilitating a safe and nurturing place for families to come to, to look forward to, and to connect with each other and their children was my calling. I healed my own childhood trauma by connecting, creating, and being fully present in my own children’s childhood. I felt called to hold space for others in this exact same way. The path literally opened for me, and I knew it was time. And just like that Billy Buttons was born!
