You might be here because you're exhausted—from caring for everyone except yourself, from watching the world fray, from feeling powerless in the face of life's challenges.

​

Conventional solutions offer more self-care consumption or call for actions requiring energy you don't have. But they don't address what's actually broken. So many of our struggles come from the severed relationships between humans, and the living world that sustains us.

 

What if healing yourself, healing community and healing the earth weren't separate tasks—but the same work, done with your hands in the soil?

​

At Nurturing Earth, we practice ecopsychology: understanding that human wellbeing and ecological health are inseparable. We don't use nature as a therapeutic backdrop. Instead, the garden is a container in which to build reciprocal relationship with nature.

 

There, tending a compost pile becomes an act of both self-care and climate action, growing food is a means of nourishing yourself and regenerating damaged soil, and planting trees is both present-grounding and future-building.

​​

These are empowering actions in times of stress, change and uncertainty, such as navigating motherhood burnout, neurodivergence, chronic illness, climate grief. They offer steadiness and connection in seasons of overwhelm and isolation.

​

Our programs weave therapeutic horticulture, permaculture ethics, and ecopsychology into practices that restore both you and the land. You don't need to be a gardener first. You don't need to be "well enough" to begin. You just need to be willing to show up and connect - to plants, soil, yourself and the future.

​

Because when you tend your relationship with the earth, she offers you strength. And when you feel held, you become capable of caring for the earth.

​

That's reciprocity. That's resilience.
