Happy Samhain! (bonus pod episode)


Dear ones -

Have you heard the expression: “the veil is thin”?

And do you have an experience of what that means?

This bonus episode is in honor of what the Celtic culture would call Samhain (though plenty of cultures around the world have other celebrations at this time of year honoring the ancestors and marking this moment of the thinning veil).

In this episode, you’ll hear me muse on:

  • what I think a “thin veil” means;
  • where this particular season fits into the larger seasonal cycles and rhythms of aliveness;
  • how working with the season might support us in burnout recovery or keep us from entering into burnout…

and more.

I also offer some self-inquiry prompts to perhaps hold lightly as you attend to the seasonal themes of clearing space and harvest.

Although most of the episode is geared towards the Northern Hemisphere, I offer some brief thoughts for those in the Southern Hemisphere at this point of your Imbolc, too.

Many blessings for our journey into the cave,

Kate

P.S. I've been back over here in Scotland for just over a month now and soaking up lots of good stories at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival! Some about witches, some about kelpies and selkies. Some about old kind kings and old greedy kings. I've heard stories from Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Palestine, India, and Germany. And all the stories, from ones meant to uplift, to instruct, to entertain, to warn, and to heal... all the stories are seeking to explore what it means to be human. May we remember all the gifts we've inherited, the treasures and the wounds.

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.

Hello, dear ones - “My life has changed so much for the better and I keep trying to tell everyone I know about you… but I don’t really know how to describe it or say what you do… so I just tend up telling them they have to go see my witchy healer medicine person, Kate.” Many of you who’ve worked with me have said things like this over the years. Some of you reading this might remember hosting me in your house for a little get-together with those friends; so I could lead them through a guided...

Dear ones - Have you experienced the grief of wondering whether your life, whether YOU, have any purpose? Only to try thing after thing while seeking your purpose; ultimately ending up more uncertain and confused? And burned out now on top of it? You’re not alone. This episode is in response to a listener who wrote to me after listening to my Episode 49 on Wellness World Pitfalls if we’re not including shadow work. She was drawing some connection between what she heard in my episode and an...
