Join the Founding Circle by May 18, 2026 - help us shape The EarthCare Journey!
The Ecological Crisis is Heavy.
And Your Care Runs Deep.
If you're anything like us, you feel a lot for Nature.
When you think about the state of the planet, you feel grief, anxiety, or overwhelm.
And the people around you may not always understand why it weighs on you so heavily.
That is a lot to carry alone.
The EarthCare Journey connects you with other Nature lovers across many bioregions who are taking small, steady steps.
Together, we are creating communities of care and impact.
You’re in the right place if you’re feeling...
Overwhelmed by the scale of the ecological crisis, and unsure where your own care fits
Eager to make a difference, but stuck between not knowing where to start and the fear of doing it wrong
Weary from carrying ecological grief and anxiety in a world that does not always make space for it
Worn down by generic advice that ignores your unique Place, your real life, and the genuine constraints of your capacity
Ready to find your people so you don't have to carry this work alone
There is a Different Way to Care for the Earth.
Much of what we have been taught about environmental action keeps us in separation. It treats Nature as something to manage, fix, or protect from ourselves.
It comes from guilt, fear and the destructive belief that humans are a "plague upon this planet." It leaves sensitive, caring people exhausted and guilt-ridden, never quite sure we are doing enough of the "right" things in the "right" ways.
This old approach stripped us of our most meaningful and natural role as a species: stewards of the land.
EarthCare is the way to remember our responsibility.
We are part of Nature too.
We are participants in our ecological community, meant for reciprocal relationship with the living world, where care flows both ways.
This is the oldest human work, and it always gives back.
A way that is Grounded in a Reciprocal Relationship.
“As we work to heal the Earth, the Earth heals us”
– Robin Wall Kimmerer
Welcome to the
EARTHCARE Journey
Founding Circle Starts May 2026
The EarthCare Journey offers support for Nature lovers like you who are ready to move from knowing you want to make a difference to taking aligned action, in a way that honors Nature's pace and your real capacity.
You will get four seasons of support and resources structured around the rhythms of Nature, including:
Welcome + Orientation Tools
A welcome video from Kendra, a four-part audio series introducing the EarthCare Compass, and access links to our live gathering spaces.
Plan Your EarthCare Journey Workshop
A foundational workshop providing the space to take honest inventory of your capacity, tend to your ecological grief, and set a realistic impact goal for the season ahead.
4 Seasonal Wisdom Circles
Quarterly live Zoom gatherings (2 to 3 hours each), facilitated by Kendra. Each Circle holds space for ecological grief, includes nervous system regulation practices, guided reflection, breakout conversations, and live Q&A coaching. The first Wisdom Circle is May 21, 2026. Summer, fall, and winter dates TBD
EarthCare Town Square
A private Slack community with dedicated channels for connecting with other members and EarthCare Professionals between calls. Share your observations, wins, and favorite resources. Meet others across bioregions and remember you are not carrying this alone.
One Year Access to the EarthCare Library
A curated vault of ecological project guides, Nature connection routines, mini courses, checklists, and 40+ archived video sessions. You will also receive a monthly ZINE with seasonal inspo and relevant resources from the Library Archives. Available at your own pace.
So, what is EarthCare?
EarthCare is mindful ecological action emerging from a reciprocal relationship with Nature in your Place.
Your Place is wherever you live, love, work, or worship and have permission to tend: a windowsill, a balcony, a backyard, or beyond.
EarthCare is a radically different approach to caring for the Earth, rooted in curiosity, kinship, stewardship and regeneration.
EarthCare IS self-care. When you slow down and tend your Place with curiosity and care, the reciprocal relationship with Nature tends to you too.
Hi, I'm Kendra.
I am the founder of LadyBug EarthCare, a small ecological design and regenerative landscaping company in my Place: Central PA, which is evolving into a Collective of EarthCare Professionals.
I am also the curator of the EarthCare Library and author of EarthCare Matters - the newsletter for Nature lovers who want to make a difference for the planet during the ecological crisis. For nearly a decade, I have served my local community by offering ecological design, land stewardship, consulting and coaching.
In that time, I have learned that the people who make the most lasting difference are rarely the ones who try to do the most. They are the ones who find a sustainable rhythm in their own Place and keep showing up to it, season after season, with genuine curiosity and care. They are the highly sensitive ones who see something new each time around and love the spiral aspect of the journey.
That understanding came from my own journey, through cycles of grief and burnout, mixed with phases of incredible joy and fulfillment.
The EarthCare Journey is built from everything I learned in that process, and from everything I have witnessed in the people I have coached and facilitated over the years. The 2026 Founding Circle is small by design. I am looking forward to learning from you, listening to your concerns, challenges and ideas, and refining this program with you.
The journey begins in May, and I hope you will join us.
Stay wild and wonder-filled,
Kendra M. Hoffman
"Kendra is more than a capable mentor — she's an empathic listener, an empowerer, and a fountain of knowledge and wisdom." — Ben C.
WHAT MAKES THE EARTHCARE JOURNEY DIFFERENT?
A seasonal rhythm, not a sprint
Each season, we gather to reflect, regulate, and refine our ecological impact goals. This is a cyclical journey, which means you can begin where you are and return to each gateway with fresh eyes, season after season.
Coaching, not consulting
Kendra is a facilitator and Nature is your Guide. The EarthCare Journey empowers you to become the steward of your own Place. You receive DIY guidance and live support, and you lead your own ecological journey at a pace that makes sense for your life and your land.
Nervous system support and co-regulation
The people most drawn to making a difference for the Earth tend to be sensitive. That sensitivity is a gift. Wisdom Circles are facilitated spaces where ecological grief is acknowledged as real, nervous system regulation is woven in, and we move forward from a place of groundedness rather than urgency.
Designed for your actual Place and life
It doesn't matter what size or scope of land access you have. A windowsill, a balcony, a backyard, a suburban lot, or many acres → the EarthCare Journey scales to your Place, your schedule, and your capacity. Some Library resources are specifically designed for urban and suburban environments. You do not need to own land, have previous experience, or know anything to begin.
A decade of field-tested ecological expertise
With over ten years of ecological coaching, landscape design, and hands-on work alongside Nature lovers navigating their ecological awakening, Kendra brings grounded expertise and the experience of someone who has walked this path herself, from childhood.
"Long story short, my therapist recommended you. I need to share that I cried reading your welcome email. Happy tears — my spirit aligns so beautifully with the words you share." — Sam T.
Is This The Right Fit?
This program is for you if…
You want to make a real ecological impact in your Place this year, and know that accountability and structure would support your journey
You downloaded the 9 Signs of Ecological Awakening guide and recognized yourself in those pages
You attended the Plan Your EarthCare Journey workshop, have a plan taking shape, and want 4 seasons of support to actually live it
You’ve tried to build Nature connection practices and ecological habits on your own, but found them fading when life gets busy
You are a self-directed person who works better with a seasonal rhythm and a community around you, rather than working entirely alone
You want live, facilitated experiences to support your process with other Nature lovers and ecological professionals
You want to be part of something from the beginning and carry founding member access into every future version
This is not the right fit if…
You don’t think your individual action matters or can make a difference
You are looking for a structured weekly curriculum with step-by-step modules (This will come in the course planned for 2027.)
You are still in the early stages of exploring if this work resonates with you...The 9 Signs of Ecological Awakening guide and Plan Your EarthCare Journey workshop are great first steps, both are free.
“The skills I developed through working with the land have informed the way I do all my work, land-based or otherwise. Learning hands-on from a coach who authentically lives and practices EarthCare in every aspect of her daily life and business is priceless." — Morgan L.
