a quick reminder: last call for Sanctuary!


Dear ones -

This email is coming to you only a day after I arrived back in Scotland - a return journey which in many ways began almost immediately after I left last year. Some places take a hold of you, get in under your skin and into your bones more deeply than you would ever have imagined. This is that place for me. At least for now.

My body is needing plenty of rest after all the travel and my brain is still in the foggy, surreal state when you're here but not totally quite yet. So this will just be a quick reminder that this is your last call to join us for this round of Sanctuary.

We start our first gathering tomorrow, Sunday September 29th and will gather monthly on the final Sunday of each month for the next six months - the same amount of time I expect to be here in the UK. And since the land here is already working its way through me and transmitting through my sessions, if you're open and sensitive to this kind of thing, you can expect to feel its presence, holding us through the dark days here in the Northern Hemisphere.

We'll be gathering together here in this Autumnal Equinox and eclipse portals; as well as in the seasons of: Samhain and ceremonies honoring the Ancestors, Midwinter Solstice (the rebirth of the Sun), and Imbolc (the first stirrings of Spring life in the belly).

Winter has always been a time for gathering around the warm hearth, being with each other through the long nights, sharing stories and songs; carrying each other into the return of the light.

If there was ever a season of Sanctuary - winter would be it.

So far, we're quite an intimate group.

Are you feeling the call to join us? We'd love to have you.

Kate

P.S. Do you have any questions for me about Sanctuary? Respond to this email and let me know. I'm happy to do my best to answer.

Hi! I'm Kate - an intuitive, medicine woman, and guide for embodied Presence

I care with every fiber of my being that you, a creature of soul and soil, are trying to thrive in systems not designed for you. Where ancient wounds of disconnect, inherited traumas, and misalignments with our over-culture leave you feeling out of place, too much, or like a canary in the mine, I see invitations back deeper into your own aliveness; vital next steps to a wiser, more relational future. Let’s navigate your big questions and transitions together. I’ll support you living meaningfully in this world even though you may feel like you were designed for a different one. I’ll keep you orienting to the truth, heart, and essential wholeness of who you are at the edge of great joy and when you need your feet held to the fire of your own journey. You can see what I offer: www.wildsacredjourney.com and sign up to get a little bit of me, direct to your inbox!

Dear ones, Colonization, capitalism, industrialization, the enlightenment… all of these moments and eras in history (and present day); these ways of viewing the world which influenced actions, policies, and human survival patterns....(whether intentionally or not), all of them have worked to sever our human sense of kinship and belonging to the natural world. All of them have waged some level of war against and received some amount of benefit from us losing a more land-based, more...

Hello, dear ones - I’ll keep this email as brief/ direct as possible because if you’re anything like me right now, you’re juggling a lot while also wishing you were hiding away in a cozy cottage with a fire where no one knows where you are. Yesterday was the final full moon of the year. I felt called to spent time with water and hung out in a sauna (with cold plunge tubs) next to the ocean. Just what I needed. Podcast I also dropped an incredibly potent and important podcast episode. Tad...

Dear ones - Here we are - the final month of the year in the Gregorian calendar. I’m writing to you from Ireland and here on Éire and Alba (the longer ago names for Ireland and Scotland), our ancestors would have acknowledged the new year as having already begun at Samhain, end of October, early November. This season, instead of being a time of rushing and full schedules and celebrations, would’ve been recognized as the dark, lean times of the year -where food and fuel are scarce and...
