About Wild Light
Wild Light Experiences was born from a simple understanding: that wellbeing is not found by leaving life behind, but by returning to it — through nature, movement, and shared moments of presence.
We create experiences shaped by coast, community, and the elements. Experiences that invite people to slow down without stopping, to move without striving, and to reconnect without retreating from the world.
We offer guided coastal walks, elemental wellness rituals, and gatherings that bring people together through food, story, and shared presence. Each experience is intentionally small, thoughtfully facilitated, and shaped by the place it occurs.
We work slowly and collaboratively, partnering with local guides, creators, and cultural custodians to ensure that what we offer is grounded, respectful, and meaningful.
Meet The Founders
Wild Light Experiences is shaped by the shared vision of Mark and Tammy — united by a deep respect for nature, movement, and meaningful connection.
Together, they bring decades of experience across wellness, outdoor leadership, and experience design, creating offerings that feel both grounded and quietly transformative.
Mark is the founder of The Nourishment Co, a community-focused wellness studio rooted in yoga, Pilates, mindfulness, and holistic movement practices. With a deep grounding in mindful movement and embodied connection, he brings a lifetime of experience supporting people to build strength, presence, and calm through body-mind practice.
Tammy is the founder of MIZU & MORI, a nature-inspired wellness brand drawing on water, forest, and stillness to help people reconnect with themselves and the natural world. Her work blends mindfulness, meditation, and intentional rest with the elemental rhythms of place, offering space for people to slow down, breathe, and return to what truly matters.
Together, they design Wild Light experiences that fuse mindful movement, sensory restoration, and communal connection — grounded in place and guided by nature. Their work is an invitation to return to rhythm, presence, and the quiet wisdom of the wild.
The Beauty of Port Stephens
Port Stephens is not just where Wild Light is based — it is why Wild Light exists.
This coastline holds a rare convergence of elements: calm bays and open ocean, moving dunes and quiet bushland, salt air and long horizons. It is a place where nature still sets the pace, and where light, tide, and season shape daily life.
Port Stephens offered something few places do: a space to create experiences that feel both grounding and expansive. The region naturally invites slower movement, deeper breathing, and a renewed sense of presence.
Wild Light’s experiences are designed in conversation with this landscape.
From coastal walks and water rituals to gatherings held at golden hour, each experience is shaped by the rhythms of this place and delivered with deep respect for land, sea, and community. Located in New South Wales and within easy reach of Sydney, Port Stephens remains refreshingly uncrowded — offering travelers the chance to reconnect with nature without urgency or excess.
It is a destination for return.
To rhythm. To light. To life.
Acknowledging Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we gather, and pay our deep respect to Elders past, present and emerging. This ancient Country has been cared for over countless generations. Today, we invite all who walk here — whether your connection spans millennia or a lifetime — to move with respect, gratitude, and a shared responsibility to protect these landscapes for those yet to come.
Green is our Gold
At Wild Light Experiences, we believe the best way to protect nature is to help people connect with it.
Every experience is thoughtfully designed to tread lightly, deepen appreciation for the natural world, and inspire care for the remarkable landscapes and wildlife of Port Stephens.
As proud participants in Tourism Australia's Green is Our Gold initiative, we incorporate responsible tourism practices into every stage of the guest journey, from our website and booking process to the experiences themselves.
Our commitment includes:
Small group experiences that minimise environmental impact, reduce disturbance to wildlife, and create more meaningful, personalised experiences.
Site-specific environmental guidance tailored to each experience, such as staying on designated walking tracks, leaving no trace, respecting wildlife, and caring for the places we visit.
Supporting wildlife conservation, with a portion of every booking for experiences held at the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary donated to the Koala Hospital to support the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of koalas.
Ongoing education through our website, social media, booking journey, and guided experiences, helping guests become active custodians of the natural environments they explore.
We believe every experience is an opportunity to connect more deeply with nature, and to leave it just as remarkable for those who follow.
