We offer courses for families and women-only options. Many feel less self-conscious about making mistakes and are more inclined to ask questions in a relaxed, informal environment.

At the heart of Five Senses is a desire to enable people to be independent and live comfortably in the natural world, but we feel this is particularly important for women and children.

Families can opt for a course together, learning different skills at their own pace. Survival and outdoors skills have often been dominated by men, so some women enjoy learning in an all-female environment because it feels relaxed and safe.

If you are interested in enrolling on any of our courses and would like to be in an all-female group, just let us know.

As with all our courses and tours, we encourage you to speak up about your preferences and interests, and we will do our very best to incorporate them.
