I advocate for the healing and tending of our relationship to the natural world. Hilltending is a multifaceted approach to human-earth relations that allows us to “apprentice” to the ecological psyche and live authentically human lives within a regenerative and thriving wholeness with the wider earth community.
To apprentice ourselves to the ecological psyche is to engage our relationship to the nature world as a collective ecological Self, we can confront ecogrief and celebrate the larger story of being a part of the entire earth community. My work advocates for an integration of psyche and world that empowers a proactive tending to the human-Earth relationship.
I refer to my approach to ecopsychology, ecotherapy, and eco-coaching as “Hilltending.” Rooted in a depth psychological framework, Hilltending is a nature-based method of archetypal facilitation that invites psyche and soul into a more immediate interaction with nature. Hilltending integrates psyche and world, empowering deeper and healthier relatedness to nature and the ecological Self.
Hilltending is an approach that integrates the conceptual and pragmatic aspects of a healthy human relationship to the earth. Recognizing that our immediate habitat is the earth but that we also share a cosmological habitat with the earth, Hilltending works with two ecotherapeutic modalities that I refer to as the terracentric and the geocosmological.
