Dear ones -A quick reminder that tonight at 7pm ET, we're gathering around a virtual fire for our first 'Sanctuary' gathering. While this will become a paid membership and monthly gathering, for these first few, we're exploring it freely, together. The idea for Sanctuary came from my own heart and soul hunger and those expressed by some of you, and the format has been slowly percolating in my head since middle of last year. I'm super excited for it to finally come forth. Since a few days from now is Feb 1, a day celebrated in more northern parts of the world as the beginning of the beginning of Spring, we'll center some of our gathering this evening around Imbolc and the increasing return of light, warmth, agriculture, flower, and birds. Although each month will be slightly different, I anticipate them being supported by a regular rhythm - a bone structure of sorts. We will:
So if you've found yourself hungry for more time to nourish your soul, to be with other wildling humans, to find moments of wonder and enchantment... and you're able to slow down and drop in without being instantly overwhelmed (if not yet on that, I recommend starting with 1:1 work first and build up to this space)... you can join us here. You're most welcome around the fire. with Love, Kate P.S. Next month's Sanctuary gathering (currently scheduled for Feb 27th at 7pm ET) will mostly likely also be free, with our official start date for our first group on March 26th (associated with the Spring Equinox). I'll keep you posted about that. <3 |

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...
