"If you want to take a new look at what it means and what it could mean for you to be human, this is the book for you. You will be amazed at the possibilities. If you are interested in helping yourself and others find health and happiness, and true fulfillment, this course gives specific, easy to follow instructions. I will tell you from experience it works! It feels wonderful and I am sure this is the book that has made the biggest impression on me ever. I am a different person, a better, more loving person and it is so easy and I love this change in me. It is just common sense in a way but magical at the same time, but not airy-fairy. It is practical, true and useful. Try it for yourself. It cannot be described, it must be experienced."

"Kinchem is a bridge between worlds. And not just a guide pointing the way. She is a muse, a siren and a teacher. And she will help you connect with a deeper part of yourself, as she did for me."

"Kinchem's group has changed my life. She instilled a sense of courage to move forward with my shoulders back and heart open. I have learned to trust. Better late than never.”
Heidi, Canada

"Kinchem is a sage for our time. She is full of wisdom as she guided our group of women, from different cultures and different backgrounds, through ways to tap into their creativity while delving into what might be holding them back. Although hard at times, I really enjoyed the process and how Kinchem held our group."

"The twelve weeks that Kinchem dedicated to some 30-odd individuals has created a massive shift within a community that was already a somewhat progressive one. The ripples of her efforts with the program that she customised for us have been deeply felt and have, at least for those I know, created shifts within each individual and the community at large. I did not know exactly what I had signed up for and I wish I could have been there for more weeks than I was, but the time I was there has made an impact. This is something that I have been suggesting that all of my friends do as it has the potential to open up a new or perhaps forgotten way of looking at life."

"I ended up in the course because I was meant to be there. As said in The Alchemist, the Universe conspires to give us what we want. The most difficult moment in the process was the ending. Our "Tuesdays with Kinchem" became the landmark of our week. I know I can speak for all of the women in the group when I say this. Those Tuesdays unleashed so much greatness. I feel honoured to be part of such a transformative process. I watched lawyers become art film makers, moms tap into to their musical side and chronic "Yes" women learn to put up boundaries. It was beautiful."
Heidi, Bali

"My inner landscape is forever transformed in the most amazing way! All those things you never thought you could do become possible during this twelve week window. You will look at life through a new lens. It is heart opening, self loving and community building."

"During the 12 weeks I've found the courage to follow my inner guide and to listen to what I really want. My playfulness and curiosity is re-awakened. I've become more mindful, joyful and excited about each day. I'm embarking on a fascinating new chapter. I feel awake for the first time and truly believe the best years of my life are ahead of me."

"I had the honor to do individual work with Kinchem during the past six months working with Inner Landscaping tools. It's a process in which we get to see the interconnectedness of things, and that enables us to see our role within that complex and diverse system. Inner Landscaping was like the process of a bud, opening up to the sun."

"I feel more in love with my life. I feel so privileged to be happy and inspired by something that is free ;-) Nature!!! I have been waiting to do the Inner Landscaping course for over two years, and it magically happened exactly when it had to, when I was ready and when I was truly starting to understand many of these concepts on my own. I have always felt Mother Earth as such an inspiration, but never really acknowledged that it was my biggest school, my most adored teacher. By understanding how to work with her and not against her, appreciating her cycles, her patterns, her metaphors... I can understand myself from a new perspective which I believe is my spiritual path to a higher consciousness.
Inner Landscaping is not a 12 day course, it's a lifetime learning that will stick with me for the rest of my years. And doing this in The Green Village took the experience to a whole other dimension! Kinchem represents her teachings well by embodying them with love and passion, inspiring us to be connected to ourselves and to our own creativity. Kinchem left me in awe with her ability to communicate in her writing, such a sensitive, authentic and talented soul that I can go deep deep deep into her truth, allowing us to feel vulnerable, compassionate and raw as she did. What great honourable teachings to spread around the world for self-love and for Mother Earth."

"I had the incredible fortune of participating in Kinchem’s inaugural men-only Inner Landscaping program in early 2016 — it was the best personal development and discovery program I have ever taken in my adult life. My wife was very enthusiastic about it and she had committed to being part of a women-only cohort to be run at the same time. I was initially very sceptical and wasn’t sure what my return on time investment would be.
Fortunately, I listened to the recommendation of my wife who said this program was exactly what I needed. Regardless, she was right again, as she often is, and this program truly changed my life. I was in my early 40s and 16 years in finance and business, I was bored, restless and uninspired. Perhaps it was because I was always caught up in my analytical left brain, and this program allowed me to explore my right brain through various creative activities, or perhaps it was because I was given the ‘permission’ to play and indulge in activities that I had previously thought to be frivolous. The return on time spent is incredible and gents, I tell you what, it helped me understand my wife so much more as a life partner, brought us closer than ever before, and this I would say, is PRICELESS!"

"Being involved in this Inner Landscape group has been a highlight of each week for me over the last 12 or so weeks. It came at a time when I was at a crossroad with my work/career and end of a relationship. I didn’t know exactly what to expect from the group and the process but what I have received is priceless! Everything about the process has been about connecting to spirit. Either connecting, or releasing blocks to connecting by the doing, the action of. It’s a process that asks me to actively remember who I am…spirit. It’s a process which actively connects me to other systems that don’t second guess themselves or fall asleep to themselves and who they are, like Nature. I have loved every moment of our process, collectively and separately. I love each of you in our group. Your stories, your life, your struggles, your healing, your dreams. The happiness that I have arrived with, at each Wednesday evening and the joy that I feel afterward carries me forward to the next Wednesday and the next, and the next… What will I do when it stops???? You have given a layered richness to my life these past 12 weeks. Perhaps it’s always been rich… I can just feel it more now. I am blessed. Ah, the power of a conscious group."

"Inner landscaping has been a life changing journey. I wasn’t sure what I was in for when I said “yes, Kinchem, I’m in.” And I’m so glad I did — it’s given me the confidence to believe there is a brave new world out there for me — and wow, I can't wait to get onto that path."

"I have always had a deep desire to be more connected to the earth and am always trying to figure out how to. Kinchem's Inner Landscaping process allows an awakening over 12 beautiful sessions spent building trust in yourself and others. That trust allows an awakening that when expressed through your story is an awesome experience. What emerged from our group was the deepest level of care, love and patience. I made friends that I will have for life."

"Having done a lot of personal growth work & been involved in many 12 Step fellowships over many years… I signed up for Kinchem’s course not really expecting major transformation, but for the chance to be with a great group of interesting women & having some fun. How wrong I was! I completely underestimated the power of this journey. Kinchem has taken Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, which is powerful in & of itself, and added her own magic touches… exercises, meditations, artistic practices & most significantly the “Your Story” segment. The result was an extraordinary time of transformation for all the participants, gently for some, not so gentle for others… but deep & profound for all. Crucial was the support & bonding that happened for all of us in sharing “Your Story”. It is a wonderful addition to the course that provided an opportunity to gain a new perspective on all our lives… particularly on the decisions we were making about now & the future. Genius Kinchem genius! Don’t miss this opportunity."

"Inner landscaping helps to declutter and spring clean your habitual mind state in a nurturing, fun and truly unique way. The beautifully curated, generous program is full of wisdom, creativity and surprises, and the learning, awareness and self discovery that takes place is life changing. Kinchem draws her essential teachings from a cornucopia of knowledge she has gathered and harvested from a font of sources, over a lifetime of observation and learning. I will be forever grateful to Kinchem for generously sharing her extraordinarily rich and fulfilling program and the personal development and growth experienced as a result. The positive effects of Inner Landscaping experience ripple out into all areas of my life, enriching it and providing long lasting benefits. Thank you, thank you."

"To come to a beautiful place and be gently guided by Kinchem to more deeply explore and articulate my inner life, my struggles and yearnings — at the same time connecting with other women sharing their own experiences, difficulties and dreams — was truly life affirming and energising. Kinchem is so passionate about the process she takes you on and it is wonderful to be led down a path of new discovery — connection with oneself, with other group members, with our natural surroundings and to our hopes and dreams."
Susie, Camden
★★★★★
"Inner Landscaping is an opportunity to take a look around your inner experience; the sensations, wisdom, memories, beliefs and intuition… gently, lovingly, curiously... until something new arises. Perhaps a connection to the oneness one may be longing for. I would highly recommend the wonderful Inner Landscaping process. I went into it with an open mind and heart, and found it to be deeply healing on many levels."
Nel, Young

"A unique inspiring and enlightening pathway to finding your innate creativity and harmony in balance with nature."
Kathryn, Bowral

"Inner landscaping is an invitation to expand, to overlook your own retractions & expand again. The world needs more reminders to look within for answers. Inner landscaping is one of them. I would describe my inner landscaping experience as a home-cooked meal in the comfort of a wood fire after fighting a war. Dramatic changes have occurred in terms of my relationship with my poetry. I also have been reminded to recognise my wants & desires — as well as the limitations I place on these with hidden narratives."
Leyton, Australia

"Inner Landscaping was a very powerful, sacred experience for me. Kinchem was a deeply committed, kind and supportive facilitator who encouraged us all to extend ourselves and participate in creative exploratory exercises. I was able to become conscious of patterns and some of my unconscious behaviours in a useful way. I was able to see my past experiences in a way that I hadn't before and that provided me with huge insights. It was a self-driven process and I really looked forward to knowing that I had carved out a weekly space to work on myself in a natural and organic way. I loved it and encourage anyone interested in nature and our relationships in the world to explore this work…"

"Inner Landscaping has been an invaluable gift to myself. Using permaculture principles and nature as guides to navigate our inner landscapes has opened up so many new possibilities in my inner and outer worlds. My life is changing on so many levels and I am in awe of it all. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to know more about themselves while being inspired in a fun way.
Inner Landscaping is a way of getting to know yourself better in so many aspects. The process is hard to understand with your mind, which is the beauty of it. If you allow yourself to flow with it without much resistance you will be gifted with divine connections with both your inner and outer landscapes."
Heike, Bali

"My experience of the Inner Landscaping journey was at times intense and amusing, and always welcoming. I enjoyed the opportunities to meditate and reflect on my creative practice, as well as meet new friends and share our lives. Giving myself this personal time was a rewarding and much needed luxury."
