Kara

Hi, I’m Kara, and my path started when I was sixteen and stumbled across my first book on Paganism.My family thought it was a teenage phase, but twenty five years later I am still walking the winding road that felt like home from the beginning.I spent many years identifying as eclectic and celebrating the holidays in my own quiet way, what I jokingly called being a lazy Pagan, until Freya made it clear that my quiet era was over and it was time to step into something more intentional.These days I work primarily with Norse deities and root myself in healing and energy work.I have been part of Spirit Haven for close to fifteen years and have served in many volunteer roles throughout that time.I am a Reiki Master and certified life coach with a focus on helping people process grief and find meaning in the experiences life hands them.My mantra is simple.Things do not happen to us.They happen for us.Transformation gives weight and purpose to our stories, and to me Wayfinding Retreat is a way to give people the tools to discover what their own transformation looks like.Outside the formal parts of my life, I am a proud feral aunt to three nieces and one nephew.When I am not holding space for someone’s healing, you can usually find me practicing self-care by watching sports.I also love reading and feeding people.Cooking is my love language, and fancy myself pretty good at it.I have a dark sense of humor, an endless appetite for learning, and a deep belief that the path reveals itself one brave step at a time.I look forward to navigating that path together.Kara
