Hilltending: Tending Soul in the Natural World
At Root and Leaf I facilitate earth-based practices and archetypal integration for a soulful re-rooting into the earth and re-blossoming into the world. Working together with you in natural areas, I support this process of reintegration through an approach I call Hilltending.
