You know the world is full of magic.
You have felt it.
Somedays you can see it in a glimmer in the sunlight or hear it in that small inner voice.
You have probably had moments of clarity and insight that have left you without-a-doubt aware of a world intelligent and alive and of which you are a part.
These moments have made it clear to you that there’s something more to the daily whirlwind called life. A slower, deeper wisdom inside and around you. You know this in your bones.
But most of the time, life moves so fast it’s really hard to hear it.
You have such a big heart and long to be a change-agent–but you barely have to look around for it to feel like that heart of yours is constantly breaking.
There must be something more than the daily grind, right?
I'm here to tell you: yes, there is.
You've been curious about nurturing a deeper spiritual life, right?
But maybe you feel like you don’t know the right words or rituals…
Or maybe you’ve never been part of a spiritual community…
Or maybe you have had a religious upbringing, but got burned or disillusioned or traumatized by traditional “church”…
If that’s you: you are in the right place.
This is for you if:
- You are unchurched or estranged from traditional church or religious institutions, but long for meaningful traditions and rituals
- You feel stuck in “survival mode” and long for greater ease and balance
- You feel like there is “something more” to life but can’t seem to find the time or space to figure out what that thing might be
- You feel isolated on their spiritual path and desire a deeper connection to spiritual community
- You are processing loss, grief, or significant life change
- You have a big heart and grieve for the struggles of the world, but never feel like you can do enough.
- You are interested in a deeper, more nuanced, authentic and holistic approach to spirituality and embodied living than what you have experienced from mainstream religions, particularly Christianity, have offered.

"I would absolutely recommend working with Kate. I have been able to get some grounding, answers and opening in some areas that were always so tender and wounded and have a grounds to do healing work around them, supported by Kate and a greater community. I had been searching out something for so long and when I worked with Kate, we found part of it and began a healing process with it. It was actually life-changing. Or life-illuminating....... Or some other wondrous adjective like that!"
Beth S.
"Kate’s unique spiritual background brought the perfect touch to our ceremony. We sought her out because we are non religious but wanted to express our respect for all living creatures and native peoples of the planet in our spoken ceremony and her perspective was exactly what we had been looking for."
Cindy and Miranda Ortega, illustrator and coffee maker
"Working with Kate allows me to connect more deeply, on a more intimate level, with my spiritual work, my guides, the earth. Having connection to he circle and Kate's journey has opened up my own path, strengthened, and challenged me."
Heather Evans
"Kate is deeply wise beyond her years...She has an incredible gift of guiding you to your own wisdom and discovering the resources within your own body. She has deep knowledge about somatics and healing trauma in the body, in addition to her deep commitment to anti-racism work. [Working with Kate provided me with] incredible support to develop trust and strength in my own intuition and deep knowing."

HI! I'm Kate Fontana.
I've been where you are. If you feel like there must be something more than the daily grind, but feel unfulfilled by traditional 'church', I'm here to tell you that you can change that and I can help.
I am christian-pagan priest/ess-at-large, psychic, and founder/steward of The Sanctuary Northwest, a center for trauma resilience and cultural restoration. I’m also a recovering ‘nice white lady’, workaholic and angry activist, trying to live more aligned with my body, my ancestry, the world, and my human and more-than human kin.
In 2015, years after having left the Catholic Church of my upbringing, Jesus came unexpectedly back into my life--not as triumphant victor, not as dewy eyed shepherd, but as a lover: tender, nurturing, and kinda sexy. Mary Magdalene showed up not long after that, and a surprising love affair was ignited. It's been a confusing and electrifying journey into an emergent version of my own spiritual and cultural lineages, and I am excited/humbled/terrified to be offering some of my learnings and musings.
Over the last 15 years teaching and facilitating 1-on-1 and group practice, I have had the privilege to support hundreds of people come into deeper relationship and alignment with their own body, spirit, ancestors, human and more-than-human allies and the Earth.
I was on a formal ordination path with the Roman Catholic Women Priests until my guides informed me that no outside authority names one a priest--rather, that office is given by those whom the priest serves.
So I withdrew from the RCWP and expanded my own offerings to support my fellow spiritual fringe-dwellers in accessing and living life by their own innate connection to Source/Spirit/Gaia/God/dess.
My clients are folks who are deeply immersed in service to our world, attentive to social, systemic and ancestral patterns of trauma and discord, needing sustenance for the long road: therapists, social workers, parents with small kids, educators, activists, care-providers. I've helped these anchors of community well-being live from that deep center of wisdom that connects us to all of creation.
A deep bow of gratitude to my many guides, teachers and allies of the visible and invisible realms.
I have been greatly shaped by the animist somatic work of Tada Hozumi, Dare Sohei, Larissa Kaul, the now dissolved Ritual as Justice School, and many friends and collaborators in that field; the sacred activism of the Roman Catholic WomenPriest movement; New Monasticism and interspirituality; and the earth-based cultural-spiritual traditions of Ireland and South Asia; and the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples.
It is with gratitude to each of them, all my teachers and guides, and all of the stewards of the wisdom traditions worldwide, known and unknown, that I make this attempt to respectfully hold, share from, and evolve my small piece of the puzzle. May it be one small offering of restoring/returning my Christian lineage back to the composting earth.
Now it's your turn.
Right now in these turbulent times the world needs you navigating from that deeply rooted place. This free experience will help you rediscover and nurture the divine wisdom in you so that you can downshift 'survival mode' and recalibrate towards thrive.
And just to be clear, having a spiritual life doesn’t have to look like getting struck by the Light of the Lord on the road to Damascus, or sitting in a mountain cave till enlightenment finds you. It can start with these five ingredients you are already doing or already have.
