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.

THE sophic SPIRAL
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.
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.

PART II: Priestess Practicum (August - November)
Lughnasadh to Samhain
You will complete the Core Curriculum with a Sacred Quest and receive support in your unique Pathfinding. During the summer practicum months, you will be tasked with bringing your sacred work to life, as well as create a sacred offering that will be witnessed during the Initiatory Rites. 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 (November 20th - November 23rd)
The Portal To Initiation
A Three Night In-person Initiatory Rite held on an island 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 an optional future retreat hosted by The Feminine Code Priestess School.
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.
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 a future retreat, taking place in the months following the Residency.
You have journeyed through both The Sacred Spiral and The Sovereign Spiral, and feel the call to deepen through the initiatory path — the refined, embodied wisdom of the Priestess
You hear the word Priestess and it no longer feels distant, rather it lives within you now, and you are ready to fully step into it as a sacred role (knowing this can look different for everyone)
You seek to weave your initiatory path into the every day, to embody your devotion not only in ceremony, but in your work, relationships, and presence
You feel called to refine your understanding of the divine feminine through a deeper relationship with nature, lineage, and archetypal energy
You desire a high-touch mentorship-based container, where your gifts are seen and your next edge is lovingly revealed
You are ready to be held within an intimate circle of women who have also walked this path, and who are devoted to living it fully
You are called to deepen your integration of woven lineages — not only through study, but through embodiment
You are longing for sacred mirroring, spiritual rigor, and the space to anchor your Priestesshood into the bones of your life
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.
“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. I am forever grateful for Kate’s loving guidance, I truly felt seen and held.”
Bianca, Germany
“The Sovereign Spiral Priestess Training has been a deeply fulfilling journey. The training brought me closer to my Inner Priestess in a grounded, embodied way. I feel even more connected to my Soul’s Path, not only during ceremonies and rituals. What touched me most was how seamlessly the sacred got woven into the everyday. It was a journey of depth, connection and remembrance.”
Heliante, The Netherlands
“The Sovereign Spiral is a container of deep learning, healing, and remembering. The Spiral held me in some significant experiences and shifts in life. 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, Montana
“It’s been a wonderful journey, Kate’s presence was inspiring and her guidance through things that came up or questions that arose was helpful. It’s been a beautiful experience, I will bring the teachings into my daily life in making big and small rituals.”
Helga, Norway
“This training is incredible. Kate is a magical teacher. I couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect Priestess initiation for myself. I can’t wait to join all that she offers!”
Ashley, Missouri
“I feel like my whole life now makes sense to me. Every choice I’ve made leading me to this very moment of claiming my Inner Erotic Priestess nature. I have been doing this work my whole life!”
Patty, California

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.
You are invited to apply for The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training & Initiation — an intimate, high-touch container for those who have completed both The Sacred Spiral and The Sovereign Spiral and are ready to step into their role as Priestess.
This next spiral begins in on May 19th, as Venus moves into Cancer and we cross the threshold of the New Moon following Beltane. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Due to the depth of the one-on-one mentorship, in-person residency, and the ceremonial nature of this work, space is very limited and is by application only.
The container will close once it is full. If you feel the call in your bones, let this be your sign.
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 SOPHIC SPIRAL TRAINING?
You will be walking the path of the Priestess and guided in many ancient practices, and The Sophic Spiral is the third spiral of a several-year initiatory path offered by The Feminine Code Priestess School. The Sophic Spiral serves as an advanced training into service and embodiment 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. The container holds wisdom teachings and learnings that you can incorporate into your own life and work. Initiation is a process that requires years of deep commitment. To journey within The Sophic Spiral, you will have already journeyed through The Sacred Spiral Priestess Training & The Sovereign Spiral Priestess Training. Those who do join The Sophic Spiral Priestess Initiation are those who desire to initiate as a Priestess.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A LIVE SESSION?
In the event that you miss a live session, you'll still have the opportunity to immerse yourself through recordings; however, the nature of this training does encourage that you join as many of the calls live as possible.
Will I get the chance to APPRENTICE?
At the core of Priestessing is the art of creating and nurturing communities. You'll be given the opportunity to apprentice within the Priestess arts in alignment with your unique gifts and offerings. This can occur within The Feminine Code Priestess School, trainings and retreats.
