The Women 

We have gathered together a group of women who have been on the path of empowerment and healing.  These are women who have taken a deep dive into knowing themselves, the feminine aspect of divinity, and how to share healing tools with one another.  
Katrina will be at all weekends, with 3 other women rotating every weekend.

Katrina Coravos

Katrina has dedicated her life to the return of the rightful place of the feminine- in the center of our lives, in divinity, and on our planet.

​She started hosting women's circles over 15 years ago. She is initiated as a fire keeper from indigenous teachers, and as a Priestess. She believes now is the time to share the teachings of the Goddess and the Mother with men. 

The absence of the divine Mother has effected all of us. Through the years of learning Her mysteries and ways, Katrina is ready to bring this forward. 

Katrina is the creator of the Earth's Rising Sons initiation and will be at all of the weekends.
