please consider donating to my fundraiser, for helping me in the short term — because my diagnostic route is long and winding, I will be looking for work and transitional housing despite the near-impossibility of achieving that without familial or communal support (I receive discouragement and punishment for my disability and it’s what has made me psychotic)
this is not about my gender care, idiots in the back

Hometree Outdoor Inpatient Mental Health Facility is a results-oriented recovery model designed as a singular, scalable arm of a broader service network. It operates under the guiding principle that every mental disability and crisis is unique. The facility functions as a licensed residential treatment environment under Washington State frameworks (including RCW 71.12 residential treatment facilities and related behavioral health certifications under WAC 246-341 and WAC 246-337), while delivering care in a dispersed, campground-style woodland setting near a river.
Residents live in individual cabins rather than institutional wards. Shared amenities include shower facilities, an on-site medicine dispensary, diagnostic professionals, case workers, social workers, housing-placement support for urban reintegration, an arcade with classic cabinets, a ping-pong table, streaming television, and a yurt dedicated to meditation and yoga. Therapeutic systems integrate regenerative gardens, consent-based cooking programs, animal stewardship, art studios, peer-mediated restorative practices, and a living laboratory that supports ethical pharmaceutical discovery alongside holistic modalities.
One signature structure is the Hometree Spiral—a Fibonacci-proportioned building dedicated to holistic healing and wellness research. Staff schedules follow firefighter-style rotations (commonly 48 hours on / 96 hours off), with options for on-site housing so employees can live near the work or shuttle from urban centers. Funding is built in through diversified streams: research and IP licensing, educational outreach, sliding-scale contributions that preserve resident dignity, and partnerships that keep the model scholarship-accessible.
The facility is intentionally designed so its systems, protocols, and architectural lessons can be propagated outward while remaining grounded in Washington State regulatory, funding, and land-access pathways.
Core Facility Elements
Individual cabins for privacy and autonomy, with optional gender-responsive clustering for residents with gender-based violence histories.
Central shared services (showers, dispensary, diagnostics, clinical staff) that meet inpatient standards without institutional density.
Recreation and regulation spaces (arcade, ping-pong, streaming media, yurt).
Therapeutic gardens, kitchen laboratory, animal areas, and art studios operated as layered living systems for food, skill-building, sensory regulation, and consented research.
On-site and nearby staff housing plus firefighter-style shift options to support sustained, high-quality care without burnout.
Housing-placement pathways that prioritize rapid, supported return to urban living when the resident is ready.
The Hometree Spiral as both a wellness landmark and a research asset examining the measurable effects of Fibonacci geometry on calm, attention, and recovery metrics.
Living Laboratory and Pharmaceutical Discovery
All research is voluntary, revocable, care-plan-linked, and ethically overseen. Passive environmental monitoring occurs in shared spaces; active participation (wearables, self-reports, outcome tracking) requires ongoing consent. Aggregated, anonymized data support peer-reviewed work on combined pharmacological and non-pharmacological pathways. The kitchen, gardens, animal program, art studios, and Spiral itself function as observation sites so pharmaceutical options can be refined in real-world, individualized contexts rather than isolated clinical settings.
Funding Architecture
Revenue is diversified so that 100% scholarship access remains the baseline. Streams include research contracts and IP licensing (therapy protocols, architectural toolkits, outcome tools), educational outreach and clinician training, sliding-scale contributions calculated to leave meaningful financial breathing room, and alumni or partnership support. Contributions never create debt and can be adjusted or paused. Paid resident roles (garden, kitchen, peer mediation, research assistance) further strengthen the internal economy while building transferable skills.
Staff Model
Employees—from psychiatrists and social workers to kitchen and facilities staff—work in a setting that prioritizes peace, continuity, and professional growth. Firefighter-style rotations (48/96 or equivalent) reduce commute frequency and support recovery between intensive periods. On-site or near-site housing options allow staff who prefer immersion to live within the campus ecosystem. Research participation, continuing education, and a culture oriented toward resident agency create a workplace that attracts and retains people who want the time and conditions to do their best work.
The three linked content pieces below expand the operational, ethical, and human foundations of the model.
1. Ethical Holistic-Pharmaceutical Hybrid Care: Individualized Pathways for Every Unique Journey
Treatment at Hometree is results-based and co-created. There are no fixed discharge clocks. Weekly Discovery Rounds review measurable progress (executive function, sensory regulation, mood stability, pain, agency, relational safety) and adjust the plan. Pharmaceutical options—traditional and evolving—are integrated with gardening, cooking, meditation, yoga, art, animal contact, and restorative practices only when they serve the individual’s documented needs and preferences.
Core ethical safeguards include voluntary participation at every layer, trauma-informed and culturally competent facilitation, confidentiality protections (including mediation under Washington’s Uniform Mediation Act), and weekly auditing against the care plan. Gardens supply nutrient-dense, regenerative food and personal plots that residents may accept or decline each season. The kitchen operates as a therapeutic laboratory linking clean ingredients to measurable outcomes. Animal stewardship is segmented for allergies and sensitivities, with lifetime sanctuary placements sourced ethically. Art studios in Fibonacci-proportioned spaces support non-verbal processing and skill development. Meditation and yoga occur in the yurt and Spiral. Peer-mediated restorative circles address conflict without adversarial escalation.
All data collection remains secondary to healing. Residents may contribute to research that advances hybrid protocols; findings feed publications, training, and IP that sustain scholarships. The model rejects one-size-fits-all menus, schedules, or medication regimens. Every pathway is shaped by the resident’s changing condition and readiness for urban reintegration or longer sanctuary residence.
2. Siting the Sanctuary: Wilderness Locations, Equitable Land Access, and Gender-Responsive Design for Results-Oriented Recovery
The ideal site is wooded land near a river that supports cabin dispersion, regenerative gardens, animal areas, and emergency access while remaining within regulatory reach of Washington behavioral-health licensing and medical backup. Campground-style separation reduces institutional density yet preserves full inpatient-capable amenities (dispensary, diagnostics, clinical staff, structured recreation).
Equitable land pathways prioritize conservation tools already operating in Washington: agricultural and habitat conservation easements, land-trust partnerships (Buy-Protect-Sell models that lower purchase price after easement placement), state programs such as Farmland Protection & Affordability Investment (FarmPAI) paired with conservation grants, and acquisitions or partnerships involving the Department of Fish & Wildlife or local trusts. These mechanisms make larger, river-adjacent parcels more accessible without relying on pure market-rate speculation. Target geographies include Cascade foothills and Olympic Peninsula areas with existing private parcels surrounded by public forest, creek or river frontage, and feasible utility or septic solutions.
Gender-responsive design is built in from the start. Individual cabins provide baseline privacy. Optional gender-clustered zones and enhanced safety protocols are available for residents with histories of gender-based violence; participation remains choice-based and is revisited in care planning. The overall layout supports rapid reintegration: housing-placement specialists work alongside clinical teams so that when a resident is ready, urban housing, employment, and ongoing support connections are already in motion. The Hometree Spiral serves as both a wellness landmark visible from the landscape and a controlled research environment for studying the effects of Fibonacci geometry on recovery metrics.
3. A Regenerative Workplace: Staff Housing, Firefighter-Style Shifts, and a Culture of Peaceful Excellence
Hometree is designed as a workplace that attracts and retains the full range of staff required for high-quality inpatient care—psychiatrists, case managers, social workers, diagnostic professionals, peer facilitators, kitchen and facilities teams. The physical setting (woods, river, dispersed cabins, Spiral, gardens) and the operational model (consent-centered, results-based, research-integrated) create conditions of peace and professional freedom rarely available in conventional facilities.
Staffing follows firefighter-style rotations, most commonly 48 hours on followed by 96 hours off. This pattern reduces the number of weekly commutes, provides multi-day recovery blocks, and supports continuity of care during intensive periods. Employees may choose to live on-site or in nearby staff housing, shuttle from urban centers, or combine both options across their rotation. On-site living is treated as a genuine residential choice with the same dignity standards applied to resident housing.
The culture emphasizes time and resources to work at the level of one’s training and values. Ongoing research participation, educational outreach roles, and internal professional development are available without mandatory overload. Funding structures that include research revenue and diversified streams reduce the pressure to prioritize volume over quality. Menial and clinical roles alike are framed as essential to the living laboratory and the recovery environment. The result is a workplace oriented toward sustained excellence rather than burnout, where staff can help residents move toward their own goals with the calm and continuity the setting itself supports.
