Katie Chiaravolloti
Katie Chiaravolloti is a commitment to unearthing true self and bringing forth consciousness with curiosity and love. She is a queer, cis-gendered Soul Guide, an Emotional Baggage Hander and a Creatrix of Sacred Space. Having studied under Ann Sousa, an initiated elder of the West African Dagara Tradition, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés Réyes, ALisa Starkweather, and within the teachings of BodySoul Rhythms® (Marion Woodman, Anne Skinner, and Mary Hamilton) through Janice Steiber-Rous, Jean Ester, and Polly Howells, Katie believes that making space for one’s own inner wisdom (especially in community/groups settings) weaves the path toward healing. Katie walks as a witness and guide for folks to discover and harness the gold that lives hidden in the shadowy places. She is a Shadow Types® Practitioner and Shadow Work® Facilitator and Coach. It is her hope and prayer that as one integrates one’s own healing, the ripples of love and care will blossom out to family, friends, and community.
Katie is part of the transition team holding the thread of hope for the world we are creating. She can be found in South Jersey, weaving communities in healing ceremonies and is always up for an adventure. Katie has been partnered for over 25 years and is mama to three young men who have been catalysts for consensual parenting, living a vibrant life, and transforming generational pain and trauma into a lineage of love and liberation. She is a child-led, earth-based, secular homeschooling mama who has co-created and co-led various learning laboratories over the years. Co-creating embodied, healing spaces and ceremonies calls deeply to her being. Connect with Katie here:

Laurie Martinez
Temenos Creatrix
My dedication is creating space for women's gatherings, ritual, and intimate workshops with a focus in Somatic Exploration, Story, Dreams, Art, Movement, and Creativity utilizing an interdisciplinary approach for embodied processing.
I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling, the Creative & Expressive Arts, & Holistic Leadership and am a nationally board certified body therapist. My work is inspired by BodySoul Rhythms®, a method developed by Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman, Mask Specialist Ann Skinner and Movement Professor Mary Hamilton.
In 2018, I created a grassroots not-for-profit organization which brings this work to women who might not otherwise have access to it. Additionally, in tending the legacy and growth of BodySoul Rhythms® work, I'm in service as Board Member to the Marion Woodman Foundation. I'm also an assistant for the international professional development training program for BodyDreaming®; an embodied practice that helps to ground psychotherapy and ensoul somatic practice, a unique methodology of a combination of the psychology of C.G. Jung, Marion Woodman’s BodySoul Rhythms®, Peter Levine's trauma therapy Somatic Experiencing®, Neuroscience, and Attachment & Developmental Theory, developed by Jungian Analyst, and author, Marian Dunlea, Director of Training for BodySoul Rhythms® Europe.
For the past 11 years, I’ve had the good fortune to sit at the feet of a wise teacher, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés Réyes, Senior Jungian Analyst and beloved author of "Women Who Run With the Wolves” in her residential study program at the Institute for Archetypal and Cross Cultural Studies. My study with Dr. Estés is a compass for my work as well as my experience as apprentice in a women’s mystery school with ALisa Starkweather. My work is also touched by Advanced Training in Shadow Work® & Shadow Types®. I'm an Intentional Creativity teacher with the Musea Center for Intentional Creativity and Consciousness and having a ceaseless curiosity of Depth Psychology, the Mythopoetic, Alchemy and Animistica, I continue studies as student at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
I’m a native New Yorker, currently residing in Florida. Previous chapters include working in International Finance on Wall Street, becoming a Mother and Homeschooling Mom, then in Hospitality Management, the Performance Arts, and Live Event Production Coordination before moving into the Healing Arts.
My archetypal flow is Kitchen Witch, creating magic with a wooden spoon, Hearth Tender, Storyteller, Medicine Maker, living at the Forest’s Edge,….drop by the cottage for a cuppa along your journey.
