Whether we're walking in the beautiful pristine Kakadu National Park or canoeing down the embroider wild wild river, we seem to be able to engage with practices that include our whole selves… The big gift we have to bring to this planet in our time

I'm discovering that people enjoy the creativity and trust in the depths we can go through together as well as the celebration and lightness and even fun and sense of play that we can encounter that these two… Celebration and Mourning are not so far apart from each other.

I put my intention and attention here.

Chloe passionately believes that allowing our children time to connect in nature is the best healing we can do for ourselves and the earth. She loves nothing more than spending time outdoors with her children as together they nurture a sense of identity that is entwined with country.

Growing up on a small property on Biripi Country (Mid North Coast), being active and outside was an integral part of Zea's childhood. Connecting with a variety of people and places has driven many of Zea's life choices: From travelling internationally to exploring Australia, from changing careers to sparking new interests. Zea values relationships and places importance in connecting with people and nature.
