Your growth begins the moment you feel supported.
At Elevated Earth, we’re growing something bigger than a farm or a classroom—we’re growing whole humans. Children and teens learn through art, story, and hands-on agriculture, whether they’re attending local summer art classes, exploring nature-based projects, or using our one-room schoolhouse–inspired homeschool curriculum with their families. Young adults can step into farm and art internships that teach real-world skills, leadership, responsibility, and ethical care for animals and land.
For adults, we offer counseling-informed coaching, virtual support groups, brain rewiring and habit-change coaching, and access to guided meditations, worksheets, and mini-courses through our online community. Our animal rescue work—including our ferret rescue—gives participants the chance to practice compassion in action. As we grow, we are actively fundraising to create a dedicated retreat and learning space where art, agriculture, emotional wellness, and community can come together year-round. Every program, session, and donation helps us cultivate resilience, creativity, and hope—rooted in the soil and carried into the lives of everyone we serve.
What We Offer
Homeschool Education
Elevated Earth offers a supportive, community-centered homeschooling program that blends classical education, nature-based learning, and weekly guidance for families. Led by Dr. Kat Holloway—an educator with advanced degrees in psychology, early childhood education, and counselor education—the Homeschool Circle provides personalized weekly curriculum plans for each child, live Zoom support for parents, and evidence-informed strategies to strengthen motivation, emotional well-being, and learning skills. Families gain structure, clarity, and confidence through individualized academic planning, ongoing support, and a warm community designed to make homeschooling feel grounded and sustainable.
Summer Enrichment Programs & Internships
Elevated Earth’s Summer Enrichment & Internship Programs offer hands-on, nature-based learning experiences for children and teens who want to grow academically, creatively, and personally during the summer months. Participants engage in agriculture projects, science and art activities, outdoor exploration, and mindfulness practices that spark curiosity and build confidence. Older youth can join our internship track, gaining leadership experience, mentorship, and practical skills while helping facilitate learning for younger students. Together, these programs foster responsibility, creativity, and connection—all within a warm, supportive community rooted in nature and experiential learning.
Counseling, Coaching, & Transformative Growth
At Elevated Earth, emotional healing and personal transformation come together through compassionate, evidence-informed support. Dr. Kat Holloway brings over 25 years of experience in counseling, trauma-informed care, emotional wellness, and habit-change work to help you step into a steadier, healthier, more authentic version of yourself. Through online coaching groups, individualized 1:1 support, brain rewiring and habit-change strategies, and access to a growing library of healing-focused course materials, Dr. Kat offers a warm and grounded space for deep personal growth. Whether you're seeking emotional clarity, stronger relationships, integrity work, or long-term change, you’ll find a supportive community and personalized guidance designed to help you thrive.

Detailed Project Summary: Elevated Earth Art Studio for Kids
Location: Jack, Alabama
Mission: To provide free and affordable art education and creative wellness opportunities for children and families in a rural community.
The Elevated Earth Art Studio for Kids is a new initiative to build a dedicated, nature-connected art space on land in Jack, Alabama. This studio will serve as a creative refuge where children can explore art, emotional expression, and connection in a supportive, trauma-informed environment. Our goal is to make creativity accessible to all children — especially those who face financial barriers, emotional stress, or limited access to enrichment programs.
The project begins with constructing a small but fully equipped art studio on rural land that currently has no creative facilities. Once built, the studio will host free and low-cost art classes, creative wellness workshops, open studio days, and community art events. These offerings will support children’s mental health, social development, and confidence through hands-on, imaginative play and guided instruction.
Because many families in our area do not have the resources to access programs or private art lessons, the Elevated Earth Art Studio will operate on a donation-supported, scholarship-based model, ensuring that no child is turned away due to cost. All donations will go directly toward building materials, art supplies, studio furnishings, and ongoing programming for local families.
Grounded in the belief that creativity heals and connection strengthens communities, this project will bring something deeply needed to our rural region: a safe, joyful, empowering space where kids can create their own stories — in color, in clay, in collage, in paint — and feel truly seen and supported as they grow.
“Never be within doors when you can rightly be without.”

SUPPORT US
At Elevated Earth, our mission is simple and deeply important: to create a place where children, teens, adults, and families can grow through nature, education, emotional wellness, and community. Everything we offer — from our homeschool programs and summer enrichment activities to our men’s and women’s groups, coaching, and future retreats — is built with the belief that people heal and thrive when they are supported, seen, and given meaningful opportunities to learn.
Your support helps us keep these programs accessible and sustainable. Every contribution goes directly into the heart of our work: maintaining our educational and wellness offerings, developing new community programs, supporting our animals, expanding our outdoor learning spaces, and building the future Elevated Earth retreat center. It also allows us to bring on additional team members who share our vision of compassionate, nature-centered growth for all ages.
When you give, you’re not just donating — you’re helping create a safe, life-giving place where families feel supported, individuals find clarity and healing, children experience hands-on learning, and our wider community becomes stronger.
Whether your gift is small or large, it makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can continue building a place where learning, healing, and connection flourish — a place where every person has the chance to grow into who they were meant to be.
Thank you for helping keep this vision alive.
