Unlock the deeper patterns shaping your life, relationships, and decisions with a personalized 1-hour Jungian/Archetypal Consultation. This session moves beyond surface-level issues to explore the rich landscape of your unconscious mind using the profound insights of C.G. Jung. We utilize classic Jungian methods—such as dream work, active imagination, and the exploration of archetypes—to interpret recurring themes and symbols in your experience. The goal is to illuminate your current struggles, catalyze the process of individuation, and empower you with a comprehensive, holistic understanding necessary for meaningful personal transformation and greater emotional wholeness.

Hilltending workshops and seminars are experiential deep dives dedicated to bridging the gap between psychological theory and practical, embodied living. These sessions are designed to equip participants with tools for tending Psyche and tending the Earth. Each workshop leverages the serenity of nature and the wisdom of Jungian concepts to guide attendees through the essential process of ecological individuation and the cultivation of authentic, integrated wellness.
Elevate your organization’s expertise or your individual practice with our specialized, custom training programs. Designed to meet your team’s or your own specific professional development requirements, we offer bespoke workshops focused on either Jungian Concepts or Ecotherapy Methodologies. Participants gain the tools to authentically integrate these powerful concepts directly into their client care—whether by exploring archetypal patterns and shadow work (Jungian focus) or by harnessing nature-based techniques for systemic healing (ecotherapy focus). Invest in specialized professional development that is precisely tailored to enhance client outcomes and deepen the profound impact of your work. Call for pricing.
Living Hilltending
Hilltending is not confined to the written word or consulting sessions; it is deeply rooted in a belief that holistic wellness requires the integration of the mind, the body, and the Earth. My work in ecopsychology has invited me to live the principles I write and teach about, turning the abstract idea of the ecological psyche into tangible, sensory reality. The below projects are the living laboratories and extensions of my own practice of Hilltending, where the ancient wisdom of the land is actively applied to the modern psyche.
Cloudscape Hill Lavender Farm and Regenerative Campus
Cloudscape Hill is more than a lavender farm; it is the physical incarnation of the Hilltending ethos. The act of cultivating and processing lavender—a plant that is well known for calming the nervous system—is an example of an ancient form of ecotherapy. Amidst the lavender fields, Cloudscape Hill serves as a vital regenerative campus, offering ecotherapy spaces, a diverse range of workshops, and guided experiences that anchor participants in the healing rhythms of the Earth.
Lavender & Leaf Holistic Goods and Wellness Provisioning
Lavender & Leaf is a retail shop in the Grand Rapids Holistic Health Collective and is the bridge between the land and your daily life. It is where the calming properties of the lavender and other natural elements are crafted into tangible products that actively support the conscious tending of the psyche. Every product is an invitation to engage a moment of sensory wellness, helping you resist the external chaos of the modern world and restore your internal balance.
