The Offering

The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training is the third sacred turning upon the initiatory path of The Feminine Code Priestess School — a spiral for she who yearns to walk the world as a living vessel of the Priestess archetype, carrying the ancient tools and timeless technologies of remembrance. This is the Spiral of Sight, an intimate apprenticeship in the deeper mysteries of the temple arts, where you will be guided through advanced teachings and one-to-one mentorship, weaving the wisdom of great nature, the unseen realms, and the rites of old.

This spiral culminates in a multi-day in-person temple residency, where your journey ripens and your presence
is anointed. Within this council, you are invited to offer your medicine — sharing your gifts both within the Feminine Code Priestess School and outward into the world, as a devoted steward of the sacred.

Due to its personalized nature, this container is very limited in capacity

to ensure a transformative, intimate experience.

PRIESTESS INITIATORY PATH

A 7-Month Spiral of the Practicing Priestess

The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training is an intermediate to advanced path of devotion, embodiment, and sovereign expression, guided by the ancient technologies and teachings of the Priestess, and offered now for the modern woman.
This is the spiral of the Practicing Priestess. She is one who is ready to move from deep remembrance into active offering. One who hears the call not just to deepen her learning of the priestess arts, but to begin truly living them — to walk with them, share them, and become a vessel for the sacred in all areas of her life.

In the Sovereign Spiral, you remembered and received the sacred technologies of the Priestess through guided ritual, ceremony, and temple teachings.

In the Sophic Spiral Priestess Training & Initiation, you will deepen into these mysteries and learn to craft, hold, and offer them yourself. This is a rite of passage into devotional leadership, woven through your own wisdom, lineage, and voice.

You will leave this spiral prepared to carry these offerings into your circles, communities, homes, creative work, and inner life.

At the heart of this spiral are three sacred offerings of the Priestess:

Ritual – The way we work with the invisible, archetypal,
and intimate cycles of Great Nature & Mystery

‍Ceremony – The communal and the reverent; how we mark time and rites by gathering in sacred space

‍Temple Teaching – The transmission; how we carry and share the mysteries, stories, and our own threads of wisdom

‍Each will be studied, practiced, and finally offered by you into our circle, with an option to offer as an apprenticeship within the first spiral, The Sacred Spiral Priestess Journey.

The Initiatory Journey

Over seven sacred months, you will return to the

‍living art and service of the Priestess. You will…

Hold space that is grounded, clear, and deeply attuned…where others feel safe
to unfold so that the sacred may move freely through you

Create ritual that is rooted in intention, woven with your own unique medicine,
and shaped by the moment that is asking to be marked

Offer ceremony with coherence and reverence… honouring the threshold, tending
the collective, and allowing the invisible to be made visible through form

Share your voice and knowing with trust…revealing truth not as something taught,
but as something remembered and transmitted through your own channel

Tend to the unseen with humility and presence…walking in right relationship with the elemental, the cosmic, the unseen, and the archetypal realms

Refine your presence as a guide and keeper of the sacred…showing
up with devotion, clarity, and love

Engage in deep study…learning from sacred texts, herstorical accounts, and remnants
of ancient rites, while working deeply with both human and archetypal guides

Live this path as your Life…where walking as Priestess is not something
you do in compartmentalized moments, but the way you move, speak, create, and offer your being to the world

Upon registration, you will be mailed a package that includes the sacred texts, tools,
and other items that will be most supportive on this journey.

PART I: Core Curriculum (March - June)

Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice

The description of these Mystery School’s journey is purposefully nebulous for two reasons: the first is that a Mystery School’s teachings hold power because of the fact they are just that, mysterious, and second, the training will organically shift depending upon the constellation of women that form the container.

This will look unique for all, and will be bespoke to you and your unique walk on the Priestess path.

During these two months, you will receive:

• Bi-weekly calls with the small council of sisters and Kate,
with a focus on  taking your service out more fully

• Apprentice in the Lughnasadh Ceremony within Sacred Spiral

• Deliver a monthly written homework check-in with Kate, documenting
your process with the Sacred Quest and your sacred Pathfinding

• Select one sacred text of choice to immerse in as an archetypal
guide leading into the Initiatory Rites

PART III: Initiatory Rites Apprenticeship Residency
(August 28th - August 31st)

The Portal to initiation

A Three Night In-person Initiatory Rite held at Kate’s private home outside of Vancouver, BC, Canada.

During the residency, we’ll delve into both the sacred art of priestessing and the embodied archetype of the Priestess herself, learning not only how to priestess
(to serve, to hold, to lead), but also how to fully be the Priestess.

We will take a deep dive into the Rites of the Priestess at an advanced level, which will also act as a preparatory initiation into apprenticing the (optional)Rites of the Priestess Retreat.

During this in-person immersive experience, you will have one-on-one time with Kate as well as a very intimate group experience. The Priestess Rites Residency will explore the Rites of the Priestess from the perspective of facilitation as well as receiving.

‍There will also be opportunities to share one’s own work within the sacred container.

Your Priestess Residency

Given the bespoke nature of this component of the training, individuals will receive rites that are in alignment with their own sovereign journey. Some themes that may be explored include the Rites of the Voice, the Rites of the Blood, the Rites of the Oracle, the Rites of the Crone, the Rites of the Priestess, and the Rites of the Temple. There will be a deep exploration of ritual upon the sacred land and participation in  transformative ceremonies.

Following the completion of this temple, initiates are invited to attend and experience the act of Apprenticing by joining The Rites of the Priestess Retreat, taking place in the days following
the Residency.

A Note on Initiation

If you feel called to initiate as a Priestess through this body of work, The Sophic Spiral is the third spiral in a trilogy of initiatory pathways.

The journey begins with The Sacred Spiral, where foundational practices are established and your personal relationship with the Priestess path begins to take form. From there, The Sovereign Spiral deepens this path, guiding you through remembrance, reclamation, and embodiment.

The Sophic Spiral is where the mysteries crystallize.
Here, the archetypal becomes embodied. The teachings become lived.

Initiation, as always, is self-chosen. No one can grant it to you. You initiate yourself — through devotion, through practice, through the lived integration of your own sacred spiral. This container holds and honors that process, should you feel ready to walk it.

Are You Ready to claim your role as Priestess?

“The journey has been really supportive. I have loved each spiral and how well all the information is presented and organized. It is powerful. I feel the presence of magic with this journey, a deep remembrance, and great reverence for the work. Grateful to be a part of this community with Kate.”

Carrie

“Kate has a quiet elegance about her. A calming presence and behind that calm is incredibly powerful energy. It would have to be to create the content and wisdom she brings through for The Spiral. Not only is the information filled with so many layers, her ceremonies are uplifting and meaningful. One of my favorite teachings from Kate is that the only protection we need is love. If you’re starting on this journey or perhaps already on it, this is a beautiful, beautiful course and community.”

Meg


My journey has evolved greatly since Samhain, I am truly in awe when I reflect on the journey I’ve been on since entering into The Sacred Spiral container. There has been a deepening into my medicine, my self-love practices, and a deeper understanding/remembering about love. I have never felt so connected to my purpose, my heart, my body, and and and…”

Raya


“I appreciate the balance of learning, embodiment practice and all the opportunity for growth. Going in, I was completely at a “no” for all things oracle due to some stuff in my past and have now brought her forward and back into a healthy balance in my life. And there are other areas of growth and healing seeded, sprouting taking place.”

Lila

“I recommend the sacred spiral to anyone who wants to celebrate the high holy days surrounded by a beautifully supportive community of women. I absolutely loved the meditations and journeys and have had personal truths and revelations unearthed each time. Kate is a beacon of light who has inspired me to soften and stay true to my heart as I share more and more of who I am with the world. I truly cherish the time I get to spend with Kate.”

Kelly

“Kate’s wisdom and knowledge are impressive yet she hands it down in the most loving, approachable and magical way. She translates the sacred and often secret ancient ways for modern women and thereby revives the priestess lineages. Both the material and the live calls are equally nourishing and informative, the most mundane tasks are transformed into ceremony and I now fully understand how to integrate my gifts and my passions for the greater good. I cannot recommend this container of amazing women enough for anyone who feels like their heart and soul are longing for more.”

Mina

“It’s hard to explain The Sacred Spiral in words. It’s a deep journey that takes you through layers of your being in ways that deepen your soul and your understanding of who you are. The walk with nature and the beauty of the changing of the seasons call on your heart in ways that wake you up to your divinity and the magic within that was forgotten but not lost. Kate holds the space with grace, love, deep wisdom, and knowledge. It’s a safe space where you can truly explore the deeper parts of the inner world and your own sacred path. If you are someone called to that kind of deep and beautiful journey, this is the place for you.”

Katrine

“Through finding out about Kate and her priestess journey last year, I felt an opening inside of me, like a message from my higher self, a remembering of my soul. From that moment on I slowly knew where to go next and that it was time to weave my spiritual side into my work more and go into the next layer of healing and authentic living. I feel more connected to my creativity and intuition, to the natural rhythms and to the divine again and I am so grateful as it has been challenging to move through my shadows and fears. Kate is a wonderful and wise guide and her offerings are deep and a gift for anyone who is willing to bring in more feminine wisdom into their lives. Thank you from my heart!”

About Your Guide

Kate is an Initiated and Ordained 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.

FAQs

  • WHAT LINEAGE IS THE FEMININE CODE PRIESTESS SCHOOL FROM?

    The Feminine Code’s priestess path is non-dogmatic, in the sense that you are working with the alchemy of the Sacred Feminine and its wisdom. Today, no lineage has survived intact, as so much of the divine feminine wisdom was desecrated and destroyed. For this reason, The Sacred Spiral aims to weave together the pieces that have been found and remembered.  All women are welcome here - all beliefs, from all backgrounds, from all places. The Feminine Code Priestess School combines teachings from several different lineages that Kate has studied and initiated into, including that of her Celtic ancestral heritage. Kate’s initiations include Mary Magdalene’s Priestess lineage, and is an initiated High Priestess of the Lineage of the Rose, a Priestess of Avalon, and a Priestess of the Golden Age (Egyptian origins). Weaving together the earthly paths with the celestial, you will embark on a journey with Great Nature in what is referred to as The Feminine Code.

  • WILL I INITIATE AS A PRIESTESS IN THE SACRED SPIRAL TRAINING?

    You will be walking the path of the Priestess and guided in many ancient practices, but The Sacred Spiral is only the first year of a several-year initiatory path offered by The Feminine Code Priestess School. The Sacred Spiral serves as a foundational training before embarking on a deeper journey within. This work is essential for anyone wishing to walk this path devotionally and those intending to initiate into the priestess path. This program is also wonderful for those who are curious about the Priestess path, but do not necessarily wish to initiate. The container holds wisdom teachings and learnings that you can incorporate into your own life to begin or deepen your spiritual journey. Initiation is a process that requires years of deep commitment. Kate believes it would not be in integrity to initiate someone within the single-year training of The Sacred Spiral alone.

  • Can I still participate in the course if I don’t have any prior knowledge or training about the Divine Feminine?

    The doors to The Feminine Code Priestess School are wide open to all those who are feeling a call to delve into the timeless wisdom of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine in balance, Mother Nature, and the cycles of the natural world. All cultural or religious backgrounds are welcome here and do not compete. Think of Priestess School as a place where you can gain a wider breadth of how you experience spirituality. If you're new to this space, be assured that this journey will usher in a completely transformed connection with the sacred, the feminine, and, above all, with your own authentic self. No prior training is required.

  • I AM GOING THROUGH A LOT and not sure I have the space for something like this right now - is this program suitable for me?

    Absolutely. This program is created in a way that you can ebb and flow with the material. There is no rush, limited homework and it is totally at your own pace. In fact, it might take you several years to truly "complete" the training, but completion is not the point. It is the journey. Practically speaking, everything is recorded if you can’t make it live, so you can also dive into all the content at the same time. Especially if you’re going through some big transition, this work will help to hold you through it and bring the sacred understanding into your stage in life. You are supported and welcomed here.

  • With numerous spiritual programs available, what sets this one apart and makes it the right choice?

    First and foremost, it's essential to acknowledge that there's no definitive "right choice" in this journey. Every experience, be it through a program, coach, mentor, or spiritual teacher, offers valuable lessons. What truly matters is the resonance of energy and trust that you feel with your chosen guide for this particular point on your path.  This decision is deeply intuitive and can only be made by you. If you sense that inner calling, then trust that.

    ‍    That being said, The Feminine Code Priestess School brings forward a very grounded approach to an area that can sometimes feel less tangible to grasp. Kate is deeply devoted to this path and practices what she preaches - you will feel that expressed in everything you receive in this offering.

  • WHAT IS A PRIESTESS?

    To answer this question in a few sentences would be doing a disservice, but in an attempt to shed light on an important question: a priestess is a guardian of ancient wisdom, a spaceholder, a threshold holder, a healer, and an embodiment of an integrated feminine and masculine leader. The priestess honours the Sacred Feminine and acknowledges the importance of balance and unity. With a deep connection to nature and an understanding of natural rhythms, she perceives the sacred within each individual, recognizing the oneness that exists between the Divine, nature, and humanity.

  • Can you really learn Priestessing online?

    While there are aspects of walking the priestess path that are important to be in the physical plane together, much of the work and teachings happen on an energetic level. As a result, the online space can be a wonderful way to dive into these teachings with less distraction and in the privacy of your own home. While there will be in-person opportunities to work together throughout the year, you can glean so much depth from the online Sacred Spiral Training and Feminine Code Priestess School. The energy within these digital containers transcends the constraints of time and space. Even though the setting is virtual, it remains profoundly sacred and potent.

  • How can one balance the demands of a busy life with the sacred path of the Priestess?

    In the midst of life's busyness, embracing the path of the Priestess is even more important. If you’re feeling like there is too much going on and you’re spread thin, we encourage you to reflect on how this may be even more important to prioritize.

    ‍    The teachings guide you to weave the sacred feminine into your daily life, bringing harmony and integration as a natural by-product. By recognizing the significance of balance between the feminine and masculine, nurturing a deep connection with nature, and aligning with natural rhythms, one can weave the sacred into everyday existence.

    Moreover, it's worth noting that for those who embark on this journey, the course materials are thoughtfully provided with flexibility in mind. You are granted ample time to navigate the materials at your own pace, allowing you to tailor the experience according to your unique circumstance and schedule. This is not an “intensive course,” it’s an embodied container that spans weeks to months. While the live ceremonies have fixed dates (but are recorded), the majority of the course content is designed to accommodate the diverse rhythms of life, ensuring that the sacred path of the Priestess remains accessible.

  • Will I get instant access to all the course materials?

    In the event that you miss a live session, you'll still have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the magick by receiving the recording of the ceremony. This allows you to explore the sacred teachings at your own pace. It's worth noting that The Sacred Spiral moves with the divine feminine rhythms, and so come when you wish, do what you can.

    The rhythm and pace at which you navigate the materials are entirely under your control. While Kate will offer new insights and wisdom, the heart of this transformative journey resides within you. Thus, it's paramount that you progress at a pace that feels most aligned with your needs.

  • What happens if I miss the live sessions?

    A recording will be uploaded to the Sacred Spiral portal the same day of each recording, so you can watch at your leisure.

  • Will I get the chance to connect with the community?

    At the core of Priestessing is the art of creating and nurturing communities. You'll be given the opportunity to connect with other women in the ceremonies as well as through our private online community (which is optional). You will have the wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with remarkable women hailing from diverse corners of the world, each bringing a rich tapestry of professional, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds.

  • I'm truly drawn to the Priestess School, though I'm currently facing budget constraints. Do you offer any payment plans or scholarships?

    Kate holds a strong belief that this wisdom should be available to as many people as possible, and she wholeheartedly understands that financial challenges can sometimes be a barrier to that accessibility. Kate’s vision for both The Feminine Code Business School and The Feminine Code Priestess School is to empower women to find freedom in all aspects of their lives: financially, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. She is confident that this program will exceed your expectations upon registration.

    To ensure inclusivity, Kate offers both payment plans and scholarship opportunities. For more detailed information on scholarship opportunities, please feel free to reach out to us via email at     thefemcode@thisiskatemurphy.com.

  • Is it possible to obtain a refund?

    Please be aware that all sales are final, and refunds are not provided. We genuinely believe that our community and content will offer you a profoundly enriching and soul-nurturing experience. If you have any questions or concerns about registering for any of The Feminine Code Priestess School’s offerings, please feel free to reach out to us via email at thefemcode@thisiskatemurphy.com.

  • What’s the difference between Feminine Code Priestess School and The Sacred Spiral Priestess Training?

    The Feminine Code Priestess School (FCPS) is the container that will hold all future courses, training, retreats, and events related to the Priestess Path. The Sacred Spiral Priestess Training is the first offering by the FCPS and marks the first year of initiation as a Priestess.
