The Offering

The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training is the third sacred turning upon the initiatory path of The Feminine Code Priestess School. This Spiral is for she who has crossed the Sacred Spiral threshold as an Initiate, and walked through the Sovereign Spiral as Devotee to the Sacred. In the Sophic Spiral, you sovereignly choose the journey towards Initiated Priestess. It is here where we move from an inward focused journey to outward focused service in devotion to the land, to the woven web of the seen and unseen, and to the innocent. Across seven months, you will be guided through advanced temple transmissions, Ceremony, and one-to-one mentorship, weaving the wisdom of Great Nature, the Mystery, and the ancient rites.

The Sophic Spiral is the third spiral within the initiatory Priestess Path. Upon completion, you will be invited to The Initiatory Rites Residency, where your initiation is ceremonilized and sealed. This 7-month container is where your service deepens, and transmissions are received directly from the land & Spirit. Within the Sophic Council, you are witnessed in your becoming and in your being. Its intention is to support you in taking your service out into the world in a way that you, too, are held. Together we grid the Ancient Future Temples.

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 Initiating Priestess

The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training is an advanced path of soveriegn devotion, embodiment, and service, guided by the transmissions, technologies, and teachings of the Priestess.

This is the spiral of the practicing Priestess. She has journeyed through deep remembrance, reclaimed her sacred gifts and now ready to reveal them through her true service.  Within this container, you will be witnessed as you claim the rites of the Priestess, and choose to walk as a vessel for the sacred.

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, you will reclaim the deeper 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 emerge from this Spiral with a refined sense of how your service is here to support the transition our world needs now, carrying the thread of those that came before you and supporting those that come after.

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

High Holy Day Ceremonies – The communal and the reverent; how we mark time and rites by gathering in sacred space

Temple Transmissions – The transmission directly from Great Nature & archetypal wisdom

1:1 Sovereign Ceremony – Bring your intention and desire for transformation into 1:1 Ceremonies

1:1 Mentorship –
The deepening you will experience in relation to your own journey, held in a 1:1 container

Guided Journeys A etheric deepening to witness the unseen realms

Sacred Tools Creation – Crafting and creating in ritual and ceremony

Invitation to Residency – Sophic is the final prerequisite for the in-person sovereign Initation

As you study and embody this work on a deeper level, there are opportunities to apprentice within The Feminine Code Priestess School.

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

Before we begin, you will be mailed a package that includes the sacred tools,
and other items that will be most supportive on this journey.

PART I: Core Curriculum (May - August)

Beltane to Lughnasadh

The description of a 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.

YOUR INVITATION TO THE FOURTH SPIRAL

Initiatory Rites Residency
(November 2027)

The Portal To Initiation

The Sophic Spiral is your gateway to the fourth & final Spiral, The Initiatory Rites Residency, an annual 3-night in-person reclamation, on an island outside of Vancouver, Canada.

The path of devotion asks us to reclaim the Intiatory Rites, and remember what it is to be witnessed in our wholeness. When we initiate on the path of the Priestess, we are held in a woven sisterhood as we offer our service.

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 and be witnessed in crossing that threshold.

In the fourth residency Spiral, you will have one-on-one time with Kate as well as a very intimate group experience. The Initiatory Rites Residency will support you in spiralling out into the world, and carrying forward the threads of the Mystery in your own way.

DISCOVER SPIRAL FOUR

Your Initiatory Residency

Given the bespoke nature of this component of the training, individuals will receive rites that are in alignment with their own sovereign journey based on the threads that emerged within Spiral Three, The Sophic Spiral. 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 Matriarch, 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.

You are ready to receive direct transmissions that ask more of you and your service in the world — and act on them

You are called to deepen your integration of woven lineages — not only through study, but through embodiment

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, which completes with the fourth spiral, The in-person Initiatory Rites Residency.

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 Sovereign Spiral
then 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, 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 Initiatory Rites Residency seals the path. As initiation has always been a commual ceremonial experience, where one is witnessed in crossing a sacred threshold. 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.

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.

About Your 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 is The Feminine Code.

It is an ode to the 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 around the world to return to their own knowing, to remember the fullness of who they are and how they are called to walk.

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 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 Feminine Code Priestess School 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.
  • WILL I INITIATE AS A PRIESTESS IN THE SOPHIC SPIRAL TRAINING?

    Maybe... Initiation is a process that requires years of deep commitment - and - it is something that you sovereignly choose as opposed to having an outside source bestow it upon you. 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 and is incredibly supportive for anyone wishing to walk this path devotionally and to initiate. Those who do join The Sophic Spiral Priestess Training are invited to attend the in-person Initiatory Rites Residency where one can cross this threshold and be witnessed.
  • 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. In person residency is a must for those wishing to complete the training.   

  • 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.
