The Training Unfolds

Train in the Temple Arts of the Priestess

The Sovereign Spiral Priestess Training is the second spiral in The Feminine Code Priestess School. Sisters who find themselves here are ready to enter the deeper mysteries of the Priestess and to explore the Temple Rites, Sacred Technologies and the art of Ceremony at a more advanced level.

This is a practitioner-level training in the art of holding. We move beyond foundational teachings into the practice of creating spaces of coherence, resonance and Ceremony ~ with presence, discernment and integrity.

Through 1:1 mentorship, Teaching Temples & training in the Rites and Sacred Technologies that underpin them, you will develop the understanding, skill and embodied capacity to hold Ceremony and sacred space for others in whatever form your path of service takes.

These abilities live within every woman. Yet, there is profound value in being trained, witnessed and supported as you step more fully into your gifts & capacity to receive from the work you are here to offer.

Over 13 weeks, we will gather and meet in sisterhood for advanced embodiment and ritual practice, complemented by 1:1 Mentorship calls, as well as bespoke SacredAssignments, and integration. This is a container of transformation and practical application. New layers of the self are here to be uncovered.

APPLY NOW

During the journey, we will deepen in devotion within this Mystery School of the Priestess Arts. Each lunar cycle we will engage in ritual practices & ceremonial work to uncover the deeper mysteries. The teachings will resonate with the cosmic energies at play.

We begin our journey in the cosmic void of the Winter Solstice Portal. we spiral through to the return of the light, first at Imbolc, and then again at Spring Equinox; the time of rebirth. This creates the container from which you will step into sovereignty, centered in the light of the heart.

WHY 13 WEEKS?

We move through these 13 weeks with a connection to the power of the number 13 and its innate relationship to the divine feminine.

There are 13 Lunar Cycles in the true lunar year

A woman’s moon blood cycles 13 times in a year, and ovulation happens around the 13th day

The moon, connected to the feminine element of water, moves approximately 13 degrees in her daily orbit

Venus, the planet of love and the divine feminine, makes 13 Revolutions in her 8-year cycle

Many ancient cultures used lunar calendars that consisted of 13 months

There are 13 Tones in the Mayan Calendar, each tone reflecting an aspect of creation, often associated with feminine energy and cosmic cycles

In the dark season, the Priestess retrieves the RITES of SOVEREIGNTY

THE JOURNEY WITHIN THE SOVEREIGN SPIRAL TEMPLE

Our 13 weeks is guided by 4 Lunar Cycles and a 13th completion week. The description of these weeks 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. Second, the training will organically reveal itself depending upon the constellation of women that answer the call.

Weeks 1 - 3: The Opening

In the Opening, we begin with the Winter Solstice Ceremony. While in the depths of the darkness, we will also call back the light. Welcome to the initiation of holding resonance and frequency. One of the key areas we will focus on in this opening spiral is: How to hold a container so that transformation can occur. We will also go more deeply into the Blood Mysteries, Blood Rites, as well as Plant Allyship. In this chapter of the Spiral, you will receive healing journeys, the Opening Ceremony, a Ritual Call, your personal Rose Reading, and a Teaching Temple call. On Week 3, we begin the first of our Sacred Assignments. One-on-one mentorship calls also begin in the third week of our container.

Weeks 4 - 6: The Rising

In the Rising, we emerge from the stillness of winter and begin to ascend, while keeping a strong connection to the earth-based practices and our sacred plants. Without its roots, the tree falls. During this phase, you will engage in sacred rituals and powerful embodiment practices to clear yourself to be a more embodied channel. You will learn about the Anointing Rites and the Myrrhophore tradition. One of the core tenets of walking this path is holding a clear container so that we may be a conduit for love and healing. Sacred Quests with Kate continue in this phase, as well as teaching temples, all designed to support your rising and deepening on the Priestess Path.

Weeks 7 - 9: The Precipice

In the Precipice, we stand on the edge, with sight and trust in the unknown. In this phase, we will go more deeply into uncovering our clairs and other extraordinary gifts, learn to harness them with more clarity, and use them for the greatest good of all involved. Here, you'll be guided through live ritual meetings and Q&A calls, where we will explore the theme of transformation. We will meet the celebration of Imbolc together and journey deeply in ceremony. One-on-one mentorship calls and correspondence Sacred Quests continue during this phase as well.

Weeks 10 - 12: The Descent

In the Descent, we journey inward uncovering the wisdom found in the depths, as well as learn how the descent can also occur even when energies are rising. We will learn to Mistress (as opposed to Master) the opposites as a path to healing and understanding our wholeness. These weeks will work with the Rites of Blue Lotus through ceremony, and the cycle of birth-life-death-rebirth and how it relates to the ascent-descent waves we experience as humans. The descent is a time for introspection and there will be no Sacred Quest or one-on-one calls during the first week. In the subsequent weeks, we will return from the silence to prepare for our rebirth.

Weeks 13: The BECOMING

In the Becoming, we mark the culmination of our journey, where we rebirth anew. Our final ceremony will take us into the Ostara/Spring Equinox portal in celebration of this phase closing, and a new one beginning. Completion of this spiral on the Priestess path leads you further on your initiatory journey towards a new expression of how you show up in the world.

Priestess Training

in Our Times


For thousands of years, the Priestess held a revered place within the spiritual, cultural and communal life of her people. She moved between the seen and unseen, tending the thresholds of life, the wellbeing of her community and the mysteries of Great Nature and the unseen.



Much of this lineage has been fragmented, obscured and forgotten. Today, we are gathering its hidden threads once again. In this training we are retrieving the temple arts of the Priestess and exploring how this wisdom may be embodied and carried forward in our times.



The Priestess was a steward, Ceremonialist, healer, oracle, keeper of wisdom and bridge between worlds. And...she still is. This is what we are reclaiming.

The Priestess Arts

The ancient arts of the Priestess have always taken many forms ~ ceremony, healing, wisdom, stewardship, teaching, tending the Earth and guiding women through the great thresholds of life. Today, these sacred arts can be woven into many forms of service and expression: through community, leadership, business, motherhood, creativity, ecology, education, healing and spiritual practice.

Through training in the Temple Technologies, Ceremonies & Greater Mysteries, the Priestess learns to carry these arts into the modern world, weaving ancient wisdom to meet the needs of these times.

A Note About Initiation & ORdination

Many women find themselves here with a desire to initiate on the Priestess Path. Others find themselves here for their personal development journey and to explore. Both of these paths are wonderful and welcome. For those who wish to walk the path of Initiation the path includes three spirals inwards and culminates in one final spiral outwards, into your sovereign initiation. That is, upon the completion of your training, you are initiated through and by your relationship to the Divine. No one can do this for you. The school holds you as you move through the temple teachings and your reclamation is witnessed in sisterhood when you receive the Initiatory Rites.

If your desire is to serve as a Priestess as your vocation and service in the world, you may also choose to walk the path of Ordination. Through The Feminine Code Priestess School, you will be Ordained under a legal body, granting you the standing to hold legally recognized Rites, including marriage ceremonies. Please note that this is not simply a title bestowed by the school, but a formal Ordination that recognizes you to walk as a Reverend and Ordained Priestess, with the authority to serve, hold sacred Rites, and lead your own Ministry.

The Sovereign Spiral Priestess Training is for every woman who wishes to walk the path of the Priestess and deepen within the mysteries of the divine feminine. It is a thread within this Mystery School of devotion that weaves teachings from Great Nature and the Great Mystery.


“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!”

MEET YOUR TEMPLE GUIDE

Kate is an Initiated and Ordained High Priestess, Ceremonialist, and teacher of the feminine mysteries.

She has walked the path of remembrance for nearly two decades, and was Initiated and Ordained as High Priestess within the Lineage of the Rose, granting her the blessing to teach the sacred temple teachings that have long been safeguarded. She has also initiated in the Avalonian & Golden Age traditions. At the heart of her training and teachings are her ancestral Celtic 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.

Kate’s offerings are in devotion to the Earth, the feminine, and 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.

As a former CEO of a tech company, Kate has demonstrated how to bridges the structure and the spiral, the seen and unseen, the ancient and the modern. She now guides women to live, lead, and create from the deepest well of their truest 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, both The Sacred Spiral and The Sovereign Spiral aim 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 Sovereign SPIRAL priestess TRAINING?

    You will be walking the path of the Priestess and guided in many ancient practices, and The Sovereign Spiral is the second spiral of a several-year initiatory path offered by The Feminine Code Priestess School. The Sovereign Spiral serves as an advanced training into the mystical arts of the Priestess. This work is incredibly supportive 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 Sovereign Spiral alone.

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR ME TO TRAIN AS A 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.

    With that in mind, it’s important to remember that embarking on this journey requires a meaningful time commitment. Given the one-on-one component and the depth of the embodiment sessions, setting aside dedicated time for this course is essential. However, if you’re in a season of life where you need more flexibility, we warmly recommend considering The Sacred Spiral    . This program allows you the freedom to engage with the materials at your own pace, so you can shape the experience to fit your personal needs and schedule.

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

    Upon registering, you’ll receive access to the course materials gradually, released week by week to support a steady and mindful immersion in these teachings. We believe that moving through each cycle and phase one step at a time is essential for embracing the learning process.

  • What happens if I miss the live sessions?

    A recording will be uploaded to the Sovereign Spiral portal on the same day as each session; however, due to the nature of this training it is encouraged to attend as many of the calls live as possible.

  • 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.
