Classes and Retreats
Transforming How we See
As we move into a post-materialist worldview there is so much more to see.
I offer these classes in the spirit of evolution of our consciousness.
As we learn of more possibilities we can allow ourselves to become them.
Women’s Archetypes
Archetypes offer us new possibilities of ways to be, or not to be. They help us see they ways we allow ourselves to express and the ways we hide, shut down and keep ourselves small.
This six-week, live, online, class presents thirteen key women’s archetypes arranged developmentally - from birth to death.
Together we explore how we express each archetype, which may be in Shadow and which we aspire to.
This class is part of the 8-month Seasons of Womanhood Rites of Passage program but can be taken as a stand-alone class. It is a space for those who identify as “woman”.
This class is offered in collaboration with the Rites of Passage Council.

A Forest of Stories
A One-Day Healing Retreat to Access the Stories of our Soul
The stories we tell to, and about, ourselves determine how we experience life.
Our stories impact our relationships with Self, others, and the beyond-human world.
Do you find yourself stuck in the same old movie? Going around and around with the same problems, getting the same results.
Old stories impact all areas of life - work, relationships, spirituality, our sense of belonging in the world, and our emotional and physical health.
Our inner stories maybe repeated often but rarely examined and revised with an eye to our soul's evolution.
When we take the time to work with these essential life narratives we can change how we perceive and participate in the world.
Is it time for a new story?
Women’s Healing Retreats
This one-day, heart-centered, healing retreat for women is designed to help us re-kindle our relationship with the sacred.
This human-centric world we have created is designed to pull us in, to keep our attention wrapped up in the comings and goings of the humans.
It makes it easy to forget who we are -
…sparks of Sacredness blossoming somewhere between Earth and Sky.
This forgetting leaves us feeling disconnected, isolated,
disempowered,
alone,
confused and lacking in vital force.
This one-day, heart-centered retreat is designed to help us re-kindle our relationship with the sacred so we can:
Touch in to our place of belonging in the world
Return to our bodies and senses
Reconnect to the natural world
Move out old blockages to our vital life force
Rest back into being held by that which is bigger than ourselves
The Science of the Afterlife and Grief
How science shows us that death is not the end of consciousness. Mediumship, Reincarnation, Near-Death and Shared-Death Experiences
Do you sense of presence of your deceased loved one but don't know how to talk about that with others? You may be surprised that many people (maybe more than half the population) experience some form of contact with loved ones who have died. You are not alone in this.
But our culture doesn't provide an easy way for us to understand that or share those experiences with others.
Scientists have been investigating the afterlife and consciousness beyond the brain for nearly 150 years. There is a solid base of published literature looking at the issue from many angles - but most of us don't know about this research.
This class provides an overview of some of the most rigorous science suggesting that human consciousness survives death.
This live, online, class is for those facing death, those supporting others at the end-of-life, the bereaved and the curious.
Celtic Medicine Stories Weekend Feb 14-16, 2025
At the John C. Campbell Folk School, Highlands, NC
Take a deep dive into Celtic mythology in honor of your own inner work with storytelling, dreaming, and writing. Discover how to access the medicine carried in this ancestral lore through techniques drawn from psychology, shamanism, and nature connection. Uncover the layer of your own mythic story while learning stories from the ancient Isles of Britain and Ireland.
This weekend journey is designed to help you access the story you are living but not yet aware of. Together we will explore some core Celtic myths and let them take us into the subconscious, The Otherworld, the Inner World, to find your unique personal mythology.
We work together as a group, individuals, indoors and outdoors. We work with the conscious and subconscious minds, the left and right brains. We travel together between worlds to discover the treasures hidden deep within our souls.
Group Past Life Regressions
Discover a Past Life and Experience Your Own Death
What is it?
Are you curious about other lives you may have lived? Do you wonder if some of your qualities and characteristic have roots in experiences from another time?
Whether you believe in the possibility of past lives or not, experiencing a Past Life Regression (PLR) can be a profound event.
During this group session psychologist and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist, Kat Houghton, will lead you though the process of discovering a past life, experiencing your own death and the afterlife. You will return with deep insights into who you are and why you are incarnated now.
This is not a place to work on your trauma or old wounds, these are best worked on in individual therapeutic sessions. In this group session the focus will be on finding the past life roots of a quality you wish to enhance in your current life, or on discovering more about your soul's purpose in this incarnation.
How does it work?
Hypnosis only works if you want it to. You must be willing to relax back, follow the guided imagery, and let yourself slip into a light trance state. That's all you need to do! Kat's voice and words will guide you to finding your past life.
Essentially, the guided imagery will encourage your linear, thinking, mind to slow down and step back. That critical part of you won't go away, you will still be monitoring what is happening, but it will be relaxed enough that your subconscious mind can be more available.
It is your subconscious mind that will respond to the prompts in the guidance by showing you images, sounds, sensations or knowings.
Whether you interpret these as simply products of your creative, metaphor-loving subconscious or as scenes from the Collective Unconscious or as memories from a past life stored in your soul doesn't really matter. The impact is the same - you learn a lot about yourself!
Who is this for?
Anyone seeking information about past lives that may enhance their current life
Anyone willing to relax into a trance state in a safe, group setting
Anyone curious about the death experience
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the process.
