The Initiatory
Rites Residency

SPIRAL FOUR
The final in-person threshold of the Initiatory Rites

November 2027,  held on an island near Vancouver, BC, Canada

WALK THE SPIRAL PATH

For she who is called to become Initiated.
The Initiatory Rites Residency is the fourth & final spiral in The Feminine Code Priestess School. The spiral that guides you out into the world, as you carry your woven lineage into the future.

Since ancient times, women have been witnessed in their devotion, in their gifts and in their service. The Priestess Path was not a solitary journey. In the Initiatory Rites Residency, we reclaim the power of sovereign intiation and sisterhood.

This is a call to A LIFE OF DEVOTION.

The Temple is FOR SHE WHO...

The Initiatory Rites Residency is the fourth and final spiral in The Feminine Code Priestess School. Initiates who choose to embark on the residency journey will have walked The Sacred Spiral as Initiate, the Sovereign Spiral as Devotee and The Sophic Spiral as Apprentice. Upon completing the three spirals, the initiatory walk is both and ending and a new beginning.

Initiation is a Rite of Passage that recognizes your sovereign devotion to the path of service, of love and of The Priestess.
It is not given, but, chosen.

APPRENTICES WITHIN THE SOPHIC SPIRAL WILL RECEIVE A PRIVATE INVITATION TO THE INITIATION.

ABOUT the RITE

The Initiatory Rites Residency is a four-day ceremonial initiation, held in sacred sisterhood on the wild shores of an island near Vancouver, BC. Remembering a woven lineage, this residency invites you to cross the threshold into your own initiatory rite.

Reclaiming a rite is being recognized by other initiates in your own becoming. This happens over multiple days of ceremony, sisterhood and deep immersion into Great Nature. Arriving to this threshold asks that you have journeyed through several years of devotion, and are ready to be witnessed fully in your role as Priestess, whatever form that takes for you.

HOW to INITIATE
as a PRIESTESS

If you feel called to initiate as a Priestess through this body of work, you will be offered the opportunity to journey through a trilogy of initiatory spirals...
The Journey begins with The Sacred Spiral, an initiatory year-and-day spiral of the womb. Guided by the Wheel of the Year and the wisdom of the sacred seasons, this foundational spiral immerses into the arts of ritual, ceremony, archetypal wisdom, and the ancient relationship with Great Nature.The Second spiral is The Sovereign Spiral which deepens this path, as the spiral of the heart. Here, the teachings anchor as you begin to uncover your own divine blueprint and strengthen your relationship with ceremony, ritual, mentorship, temple teachings, and sacred leadership.
The Sophic Spiral is the third sacred turning on the initiatory path, the spiral of the sight. This is an advanced apprenticeship for the woman whose life is woven with the Priestess path. It is where we move from our inner healing and transformative journey, to the outer path of service for the greater good of all (knowing that they are in fact, not separate).
Finally, the fourth spiral, The Initiatory Rites Residency seals the path. Initiation has always been a commual, ceremonial experience, where one is witnessed in reclaiming a rite of passage. This is offered on an annual basis, and can be attended year-over-year once you have crossed the threshold.
To initiate is to choose this devotional walk in this lifetime.

Immersed among acres of island forest, where the land meets the sea, you will be held in the wild and wise embrace of Great Nature. We will gather for Temple Time between 9 AM - 9 PM daily. There are a limited number of suites on site; however, there are many nearby accommodation options to suit your desires.

Every nourishing vegetarian meal is prepared with intention and is made with ingredients sourced locally. In between temples, you are invited to sip coffee or tea, overlook the ocean and explore the gardens, cliffs and the apiary in contemplation. Vegan and gluten-free options are available upon request.


“Kate is pure Love and embodies grace, mastery, and the powerful Mystery in everything she does and shares—it is so very beautiful and humbling to watch her presence in the world and to have the opportunity to spiral with her.”

Karen


“Working with Kate has been a HIGHLIGHT of my life. I have never felt so understood and so very much in the “right” place. She was incredibly patient and answered all questions. More than anything I felt such a deep sense of sisterhood and acceptance that I’ve never seen or felt in any other container.”

Christina


“Kates energy, the ceremonies, the inspiration and example of being in the presence of someone who has already walked themselves through the process felt like a transmission of wisdom I’m still absorbing.”

Kami


“Kate’s knowledge of ancient feminine principles and modern business practices is vast and she is able to access a powerful unfolding within your own feminine power in order to bring about tremendous growth and potential.”

Elizabeth


“I walk away from every teaching with Kate greatly relieved, smiling from ear to ear and bursting with joy for my next steps and what is to come. To say I feel empowered is an understatement. I feel full of hope and possibilities. I feel fully alive and free!”

Katy


“Kate is love embodied. Working with her was so much more than learning something new, it was an experience through my body, senses and soul. She mirrored to me the love and wisdom I carry and did so with such grace and compassion.”

Kelly


“Kate created a deeply nourishing, insightful and empowering container within The Sovereign Spiral. She shared with us open-heartedly her wisdom and knowledge, held us with her kind heart in ceremony and ritual, and guided us intuitively and naturally towards our soul’s purpose and destiny. I gained much clarity and confidence in my journey here on Earth, as well as courage to step into my power and honor my mission.”

INITIATION is a
SACRED path of....

Devotion to a life of service and the sacred within it

Reclamation of the feminine mysteries once forgotten

Remembrance of the magic within self & Great Nature

Truth...the witnessing and weaving of it in the world

Love as an embodied vessel and way of being

Protection for all of life and all that is innocent

Trust in the unseen and all that is asked of you

Sovereignty in how you walk your life's path

Belonging to a woven lineage of remembering

MEET YOUR TEMPLE GUIDE

Kate is a Priestess, a ceremonialist, and teacher of the feminine mysteries.

She has walked the path of remembrance for nearly two decades, guided by the ancient teachings of the Rose, Avalon & Golden Age pathways, as well as her own Celtic ancestral roots.

Her body of work, The Feminine Code, is a remembrance of the sacred feminine, the wisdom of Great Nature, and the mysteries that live within and around us.

At the heart of Kate’s offerings is devotion to the Earth, to the feminine, and to the sovereign path each woman is here to walk. Her teachings are not bound by any one lineage or dogma, but open the doorway to a deeper truth — one rooted in love, unity, and the wild intelligence of inner gnosis.

Through The Feminine Code Priestess School, as well as ceremonies, retreats, and mentorship, Kate holds sacred space for women across the world to return to their own knowing,  to remember the fullness of who they are and how they are called to walk: as vision-holders, mystics, leaders, and creatresses.

Though her journey once led her through the world of business as CEO of a major tech company in Norway, Kate now walks in service to the sacred. She bridges the seen and unseen, the structure and the spiral, the ancient and the modern, guiding women to live, lead, and create from the deepest well of their feminine knowing.
