Secret 🤫 (not really) wildflower spot in Varley, about 100 km north of Ravensthorpe.Discovered by accident when looking for a spacious pleasant place to have lunch.There are wildflowers here, including many orchids. If you’re heading to Ravensthorpe for the Ravensthorpe Wildflower Show over the next couple of weeks (from 9 Sept) you might want to stop here to see sugar orchids (Ericksonella saccharata), some of the blue sun orchids Thelamytra sp, spider orchids Caladenia sp), Grevillea sp (inc. G. excelsior and ) , Stylidium sp (inc. Boomerang Trigger Plant - Stylidium breviscapum), … and lots of other colourful and unique wildflowers that I can’t look up right now because I’m driving back to Fremantle. Dirt road off Hyden-Lake King Rd.(Winchcombe Rd) On right (southbound)On left (northbound)Great place to let your pooch out for a walk…or have a cup of tea.

EDGEWALKERS - walking you closer to nature & your most creative self

It was during a long coastal hike, along the famous Cape to Cape track, immersed in scented Boronias and Honey Myrtle, surrounded by swishing Peppermint Eucalyptuses and low lying prickly Acacias (names I did not know then) that I came to realise two things.

First, I realised that in spite of loving being out in nature I knew very little about the natural world that surrounded me. When I looked at trees I saw, well, trees; when I looked at flowers, I saw colours, red ones, purple ones, yellow ones.

I wondered if other people also felt the same. Whether they were also yearning for a more profound connection and understanding of the natural world, yearning to move like Edgewalkers, effectively across the edge between the structured and the untamed, between the sophisticated and the primal.

Second, I realised that walking, but especially in nature, was, and is, an integral part of my creative process…that I have been doing it for a long time.

I realised that I hiked the mountains around Almaty, Kazakhstan trying to find a way to finish the first draft of my first novel in 1999, and that I regularly traversed King’s Park, Perth, while solving production issues with my first play Trollop(e) in 2002. I understood that I had walked my way out of every single challenge in all the theatre-based projects I created with Act Out www.actout.com.au from 2007 – 2014 and that I am still bushwalking now as a way to solve problems, to let my mind expand and my imagination soar.

I understood, that day on the Cape to Cape with the Southern Native Roses dangling red above the limestone outcrops of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, with Western Spinebills fluttering among the Melaleuca and the Cockies’ Tongues, that walking is how I negotiate the edge between the world of what is and the world of what is yet to be; between the world of the created and what is yet to be created. I wondered whether others also felt a desire to move more freely between these two realms.

By naming my new business adventure Edgewalkers, I am conjuring the possibility of playing a role in bringing people closer to the edges they yearn to walk boldly along; closer to nature, closer to their natural creative and expressive selves; I am conjuring the possibility of all of us having intimate knowledge and competence of all the worlds we inhabit and create.

OUR RETREATS

We are educators, nature lovers, artists & walking enthusiasts who love sharing our knowledge & passion for nature & a deeply creative life. Our retreats are designed to give you focused and uninterrupted opportunities to immerse yourself in stimulating surroundings and discover/rediscover your creative aspirations...and ways to reconnect with them.

Through aesthetic and embodied activities & techniques you will explore your creative aspirations, your desires and hopes and generate ways to create a trajectory to a more creative & self-expressive life.

During the retreats the creative process is harnessed by guided walks immersed in nature through some of the most pristine and biodiverse environments in the world, including sections of the Cape to Cape track & Boranup forest in southwest Western Australia & in the Altai mountains of northwest Mongolia. In addition, special workshops with contributing local artists during each retreat will enhance your creativity experience.

OUR WALKS

When you walk with us you are not just walking with a tour guide, you are walking with a philosopher, an artist, a writer, an environmentalist who offer a unique perspective and sensitivity to the experience.
