Unlock More Life  ‍

A modern animist ministry

I craft encounters of communion and catharsis that ignite your deep aliveness.

Meet Katharine

Medicine woman, writer, psychedelic minister, and initiatory guide based in the wilderness outside of Washington, D.C.

What I live for? The deep end. I am fascinated by consciousness, the mechanics of transformation, sound, language, reality, ritual, and nature. All of my work is fundamentally about designing the conditions that empower profound change.

For almost 15 years, I’ve supported people, companies, and communities in meeting their edge: that terrifying and necessary threshold between who you are and who you know you must become.

Any kind of transformational process will require you to shed old stories, beliefs, and identities in service of your truth and self. The journey we take together will require you to become more courageous, creative, and yes – uncomfortable.

My speciality is crafting cathartic encounters of communion – with yourself, your ancestors, the land, and the divine – that foster healing and ignite evolution. I’m here as an initiatory guide, a sacred ally, and a teacher of ancient technologies – one who has walked through many doorways and dimensions. I am here to walk alongside you. What I offer is designed to shift you from confusion towards coherence so the inner map reveals itself.

I carry strong medicine.
I am strong medicine.
Truth be told, I’m not for everyone – but I am for those bright, brave souls who are ready to swim in the deep end.

  • P. Tavernise

    Thank you for facilitating one of the most profound healings of my life.
    And one that feels like it will simply continue. I didn’t know I was capable of this. It feels like a high water mark. A crystallization. A true blessing.
    Nine bows of gratitude to you.

  • S. Fox

    I feel open, alive, empowered, inspired, and ready.
    Thank you for your powerful and deeply resonant work.

  • N. Wang

    Kat’s connection with the wild and elemental realms is PALPABLE, literally. During our sessions I can actually feel my own access to this greater field of intelligence and support, because of how clear she is holding herself as a channel.

    Absolute gem of a healer.

  • A. Volin

    Kat is an energy conduit. An empath. Warm and welcoming.
    She holds your hand as you dip your toe into the spiritual world and serves as your guide as you plumb its depths. She will listen and help you find a meaning that serves you as you navigate your spiritual journey. I always begin our sessions in an anxious state and end in a peaceful one.

    And I exhale.

  • K. Merchant

    It takes just one spark to light a wildfire.

    Katharine is that spark - intellectual, creative, empathetic, fearless - and dangerous. Why? Because she has the fast and uncanny ability to make you realize that you're capable of anything.

  • E. Eging

    The container Kat created and held was easily one of the best I have experienced. I felt safe delving into some deep grief due to a recent life transition. I felt honored, respected, and witnessed in a way that helped me process and re-contextualize the hurt and confusion that I had become stuck in. I feel much more engaged and excited for what life has in store for me now.

  • P. Blue

    Kat held an incredible space for me.
    She helped me touch aspects of myself that I had never touched before in a profoundly deep and meaningful way.
