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

Are you a compassion warrior, culture worker, and rebel who cares deeply about humanity; who's tired of doing all the “right things” and still getting what you’re trying to avoid; and who feels trapped between burning it all down or dying but would rather be wildly, and sacredly alive? I'm an animist and ancestral wisdom guide; ceremonialist, and empath. And I love guiding other humans who want to use their burnout and purpose anxiety as a jumping-off point to journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern society in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness. This newsletter contains wisdom nuggets, podcast episodes, and invitations to paid and free offerings from my business. All in support of remembering a more animist and land-based culture; holding firm to our humanity in a dehumanizing world; and living with compassion, vulnerability, and reverence.

Hello, dear ones - Blessings of nature on our creaturely bodies as we drop into the post-holiday darkness of on-going winter. Though light and life are slowly returning from dormancy, this is still a time to unplug from urgency; to rest and dream. To be very conscious and careful of what we are feeding and nourishing now... because more than any resolutions or intentions, what we feed in the dark days of the year becomes what grows and fruits in the light. All that "unplugging from urgency"...

Hello, my dears - Welcome to the Gregorian Calendar New Year. We made it to 2026. Some of you may be hating on 2025 right now. I mean, fair. It sure was hard at times. But what a lot of beauty, too, heh? I've heard a few people say they're ready to be done with 2026 already. That doesn't seem quite fair. We haven't even given it a chance yet and I have this sense that big changes are in store. Hopefully, none of you have been hating on yourselves. I'll offer my gentle yearly reminders: there...

Hello, dears - I wanted to hop on here and remind you that we're at *last call* for both our Winter Solstice online round house tomorrow and the in-person ceremony in Winchester, VA on Sunday. Registration for both closes tomorrow morning. But along the way, I noticed how much work I'm having to do to stay centered in myself and the type of seasonal life I want to live. And I thought this was a great opportunity to pull back the curtain a bit and share a bit of my process with you. photo by...
