Our Wild Retreats aim to promote health and healing for Adult Adoptees through the arts, creative practices, green crafts and green spaces.

Hey up, I’m Bob, founder of The Wild Adoptees.

I was relinquished at birth, which my Birth Mother said she had no choice about, in foster homes for a little bit, then adopted around this age >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Like most of us I’m still trying to find the truth and my full records!!

I wanted to help my community, but didn’t know how I could or what that looked like. I went on my own inward journey to work out what helped me along the way and I realised I’d been in nature as much as I could throughout my life.

I’ve lived on and off grid, in and out of vehicles, dillied and dallied along the way but always doing something, whether creative or not, and always surrounded by nature.

So The Wild Adoptees concept was born.

We know Nature calms the nervous system, plenty of studies out there to prove it, but also for us being around other adoptees and relinquished folks who just get it, makes the world of difference.

So I thought, yep, that’s it, that’s what needs to happen… and here we are!!
