✦ soul-reviving medicine for dehumanizing times ✦

“And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
”
— Rumi

We find ourselves in soul-starved times where ‘more, faster’ is king.

Longing and belonging are out of balance.

We’re severed from ancestral wisdom and the elders who could help us complete the initiations life sends our way (hell, we often don’t even recognize our initiations for what they are as they’re happening).

And instead of webs of animistic kinship, weaving us into reciprocal relationship with the world, we’ve inherited cultures of exploitation and oppression which we act out internally and externally.

 
 

You may be experiencing this as symptoms of:

  • general emptiness and dissatisfaction, no matter how successful and good your life is;

  • wanting to run away to the woods and leave it all behind;

  • bone-deep weariness and lack of inspiration or creativity;

  • being alone in the darkness of your mind;

  • paralysis when it comes to making changes or doing what matters most;

  • being pulled in a million directions;

  • numbness or confusion when you try to identify what’s ‘wrong’;

  • anger that what seems obvious to you about your experience is being discounted by our overculture;

  • friction in your close relationships because of some or all of the above;

  • having tried a lot of talk therapy and mindset work but your own thoughts still hurt, your own actions still seem hijacked by past experiences, and you know there’s something deeper still missing which could bring you to the next level.

You may be yearning to:

  • feel like yourself again;

  • live your most soulful and meaningful expression;

  • experience more joy and vitality;

  • be more resilient and peaceful;

  • access more pleasure and play;

  • set boundaries or know where you end and the world begins;

  • experience interconnectedness or belonging with your partner/ children/ the world;

  • expect and recognize miracles;

  • find a community of other ‘canary in the mine’ humans

And you sense the missing pieces may be found in:

  • slowing down;

  • looking through a more soul-centered lens;

  • ancestral, animistic wisdom traditions;

  • myths, archetypes, and ways of knowing which dance right at the edge of flickering flame and shadow;

  • crafting, stories, song, or movement (ie being in your body and engaging with ancient, rooted cultural practices);

  • being in nature more;

  • unlearning exploitation, extraction, oppression, and superiority/ inferiority in your mind and body to be more available for reciprocity, power-with, enoughness, sustainability, and liberation for all…

If so, welcome, friend.

 
 
 

I'm Kate and my super power is helping you deepen into the truth, heart, and essential wholeness of who YOU are, whether in moments of great joy or when you need your feet held to the fire of your own journey.

A medicine woman, ceremonialist, story weaver, and soul-reviver, I track where the wisdom and wounds you carry in your body-mind-soul (from your life, our overculture, or from ancestors or past lives) are waiting to be remembered, reclaimed, and lovingly alchemized into your unique medicine.

I believe rupture is inevitable but so is wholeness, and through: 

  • a somatic, shamanic, animistic approach to trauma repair and meaningful embodiment; 

  • myths, stories, and archetypes; 

  • ceremony; 

  • rooted, ancestral cultural practices; 

  • and kinship with nature;

we can tend our personal hurts, our communal nervous system, and the bigger question of: in these times, how do we double down on our wild, sacred, magical humanity?

With courage, curiosity, and compassion I’ll help you shift from head to heart, to complete your initiations, and strengthen your own ability to navigate the world with animal instinct and soulful intuition intact. And through the intimacy of deep listening, we’ll create the context for radically loving and authentic relationships, internally and externally, which makes you more available to what you long for and the life that’s in front of you.

Are you standing at a life threshold right now? Experiencing an initiation that has been interrupted or you were never shown how to complete? Asking questions that feel too big to see clearly? Seeking to integrate the peak experience of a spiritual quest, a medicine ceremony, or a deep evolution into your everyday life?

I see you. I hear you. I honor you. I believe in you.

Let’s do this, together.
