WHO WE Are
With many years combined experience, facillitators Paula Cowie and Mary-lou Anderson have a deep abiding commitment to providing high quality immersive experiences that bring out the best in everyone and build resilience, confidence and co-operation skills.
Wilder ways started with a yearning to live more fully, a desire to rethink education and nurture our young people in nature, and the courage to imagine sustainable communities.
Supported by community, a core group of us spent a year meeting, visioning and designing what became a very successful pilot year. One that nurtured and grew 10 young people and many adults that acted as mentors, skillsharers, volunteers and visitors along the way.

About Paula
I was born in the North-East Highlands growing up with the sea and the hills all around me, and in me.
My family smelled of fish and were full of stories. My path through life wove over the globe, across many countries and continents and always brought me back to Scotland.
It has been a path of aliveness, agility, service to the community and caring and tending. Now I am an outdoor mentor for young people in Fife, still journeying outside and in. I have learnt much from baby orang-utans, rescued strays, injured birds and the children and young people that have been present in the woods with me.
My commitment is to witnessing and holding, letting the young folk fully emerge with no judgement. I look forward to their stories and their laughter.
I founded Wolf Ways in 2014 and Wilder Ways in 2017.
I am blessed to journey with special friends who help me on my way.
