Exploring the Hill Through the Lens of Minecraft ⛏️
Today I want to share a reoccurring theme that I’ve been noticing in my spirit to spirit sessions – my sessions with nonspeaking kids. Over time, I’ve noticed some really sweet connections between how children experience “the Hill” and how they engage with a game many of them love: Minecraft.
This post pulls together a few of those insights.
If you’re familiar with Minecraft, you’ll know it’s a game where players can build, explore, and create entire worlds. And interestingly, that’s very similar to what I see happening energetically on the Hill.
The Hill is a spiritual/energetic space—a place where I usually meet kids in sessions (they created an office there for me) But it’s also flexible, imaginative, and deeply personal.
🧱 Constructed Worlds: The Hill and Minecraft
One thing that really stands out is this: the Hill is a constructed space, just like a Minecraft world. It exists in what you might call a higher dimension, a place where spirits gather to learn, grow, and connect.
In Minecraft, you build your world. In the Hill, the “world” is built too—but it’s built with intention, spirit, and love. It’s not rigid. It shifts to meet the needs of those who visit.
👓 Unique Perspectives: Seeing the Hill Differently
Just like no two Minecraft players experience the exact same thing, no two children see the Hill the same way.
Some see a beautiful green field (my client from Scotland). Others describe it like a floor on a skyscraper or a library. That’s part of what makes the Hill so special—it adjusts to the perception of the child visiting. There’s no “right” way to see it. It’s interpretive, responsive, and unique to each spirit.
In one session, my own view of the Hill shifted dramatically—it reminded me that the Hill is always teaching us, not just through what’s there, but through how we see it.
🌐 Shared Realities: The Hill as a Server
It made me think of my son and his friend used to play Minecraft together across different states. They were in totally separate locations, but they’d meet up in the same virtual space and create together.
That’s exactly how the Hill works.
The Hill is like a shared spiritual “server.” It’s a place multiple children (and sometimes adults!) can access at the same time. It transcends physical space, but still allows for shared experience. How amazing is that?
🎨 Creativity and Purpose in Spiritual Spaces
Minecraft encourages creativity—you can build a treehouse, a city, a castle in the clouds. But there’s usually purpose behind the creation.
That’s true for the Hill, too.
It’s not just a place to hang out (though that’s beautiful in itself). It’s a place where spiritual purpose flows. Kids might go there to rest, to learn, to connect with others, or to receive comfort. What they build or experience on the Hill often reflects something they’re working through in their real lives.
🔑 Accessing the Hill: Intent and Awareness
Accessing the Hill isn’t automatic—it comes through intent. I often describe it as tuning into the right frequency. It’s kind of like logging into a Minecraft server—you have to know it exists, choose to go there, and then settle in.
Some children naturally know how to access it. Others learn through experience, sometimes after connecting in Spirit-to-Spirit sessions.
One thing is clear: the Hill adapts to each child. It can offer just what their soul needs in that moment—comfort, clarity, friendship, or peace.
🌟 Conclusion: The Hill as a Multidimensional World
So yes, in many ways, the Hill is a lot like Minecraft. It’s a co-created, multidimensional space built from love and intention.
When my family moved, Minecraft helped my son stay connected to his friends. It was more than a game—it was a bridge.
And the Hill, in its own sacred way, is a bridge too. A place where nonspeakers can connect with their inner world, and even with each other, in beautiful and healing ways.
Whether or not this metaphor lands for you, I hope it opens your heart to the ways kids are already connecting to spiritual truths—sometimes through the very tools we’d least expect.
