The Owlumni 2026
HELLO & A VERY WARM WELCOME TO THE OWLUMNI
This community is for women who have walked with me... women who have felt the call of the wild woman, who have answered it and who have journeyed through layers of self to arrive at a place where ordinary spaces no longer hold.
Here, you will find a simple, heart-held container... a space that grows, moves and evolves with us. Wherever you are on your journey, whether sensing the first stirrings of your untamed self, or walking a path you have long known, please know there is always a sacred place for you here.
Oh... and the worlds longest internet webpage, so my apologies for that!
This year, I am offering a collection of pathways designed to guide you deeper into your wild, wise self. Each pathway stands alone, yet they are designed to weave together... allowing you to deepen your journey and choose the experiences that resonate most with you.
I have no doubt that as we evolve... and as the women who are called to these spaces make themselves known... the experiences themselves will deepen and transform in their own beautiful way.
The Owlumni Autumn Retreat... a four-day immersive gathering of ceremony, threshold work and sisterhood. Step into the land, the Autumn threshold and the depths of your inner world.
NEW * The Empress Journey... The Empress is the archetype of embodied sovereignty, guiding us through life’s shifts with intuition, rhythm and quiet authority. She isn’t about perfection or doing more... she is the woman who honours her body, trusts her instincts, and holds her power without burning out. For 2026, she calls us to anchor, to root into our truth and to step fully into the woman we are becoming.
NEW * The Seasonal Hearth Gatherings... four times a year, as the wheel turns and the seasons shift, a small group of five Owlumni sisters are invited to Hawthorn Cottage to gather around the hearth for an intimate group day retreat.
The One-to-One Spaces... intimate mentoring and retreats, tailored to your own rhythm. These can be stand-alone or combined with other pathways, allowing you to craft a journey perfectly aligned with your intentions.
With big open arms and a wide-open heart, I invite you to step forward, lean into your journey and allow yourself to be held, witnessed and celebrated as you reclaim your wildness and step even more fully into your truth.
All the hoorays!
Love & twigs
Katy
THE OWLUMNI AUTUMN RETREAT 2026
Autumn carries such a powerful threshold energy for us wild women. It’s a liminal time... neither the full fire of summer nor the deep descent of winter... but that potent in-between where we begin to turn inward, gather our harvest and prepare our bones for the darker months ahead.
Our annual retreat is a time for ritual and reflection, laughter and tears, silence and song. We sit at the hearth, walk the land and remember who we are. We listen for what is ready to fall away, honour the wisdom of the shadows, and prepare our roots for the nourishment of Winter.
The shift is already stirring in our bones: the softening light, the cleansing rain, the call to slow, the call to the hearth, the quiet tug of Hecate at the crossroads. This is the month where we begin to prepare... our homes, our bodies and our bones for the deepening months to come.
Across four days, we will weave ourselves into song, ceremony and earth-rooted ritual:
→ Four nights in a luxury Cornish home, a beautifully held space with like-hearted women
→ Restorative massages, reflection, deep rest and piles of women on soft pelts
→ Gentle and deep feminine movement
→ Circles of stories, truth-telling and laughter
→ Magick and medicine with oracle cards, rituals and guidance
Together, we will soften into the season’s call, release what no longer serves and prepare our bones for descent of Winter.
You may join the retreat as a standalone experience, or weave it together with either The Owlumni Circle or The Path of The Wild Woman. Or you may wish to include one-to-one mentoring with me, creating a deeply personalised and transformative journey tailored to your rhythms and intentions.

4pm on Friday 16th October 2026 - 10am on Tuesday 20th October 2026
With optional add on for two nights, so departing 10am on Thursday 22nd October 2026

Sacred time together at The Owlumni Autumn Retreat
Engage in powerful rituals, ceremonies and earth-rooted practices that foster deep healing, self-exploration and collective empowerment. Each moment is an invitation to let go of the familiar and embrace the magick of being truly present, as we weave together the realms and rituals of Autumn and prepare our bones for Winter.
This option is for you if:
→ You feel called to step away from the noise of daily life and into a space of deep reflection and renewal
→ You’re ready to cultivate authentic connections with other women who share your desire for growth and exploration
→ You seek to honour your wild heart, surrendering to the process of transformation in a supportive and loving environment
How to join
Email Katy if you are ready to gather in the wilds of North Cornwall.
EVERY MOMENT IS A TREAT
I returned to The Wilding Retreat for a second year in a row and was thrilled that it was everything I remembered and more. Katy has a signature embrace that is hard to describe, the sort of hug that makes everything else melt away.The retreat itself is utterly exquisite, from the food, to the massage and all the welcome gifts. Every detail is high quality, classy and enjoyable.
On both retreats I have accessed a level of rest and replenishment that is so hard to carve out of normal life, making space for much magic and inspiration to flow through.
Thank you Katy, you have a gift for gathering. Gathering women, gathering twigs, and gathering love. Every moment in your company is a treat.

THE EMPRESS JOURNEY
The Empress Journey has risen as the central year-long path for The Owlumni.
It carries the belonging of the Circle and the depth of the Wild Woman... anchored now in sovereignty, embodiment and lived wisdom. This is a journey of anchoring, not striving; becoming, not performing; holding power without burning out.
The Empress wasn’t planned, she emerged. Through the work I’ve been holding, the women I’ve been walking with and my own lived initiation this year, it became clear that this container wanted to exist. She gathers what has come before and offers it in a simpler, truer form.
For women who have journeyed with me previously, this path offers continuity. For those arriving now, it offers depth without overwhelm. This is not an initiation into wildness, it is a settling into truth.
Who The Empress is
The Empress isn’t about perfection, productivity, or doing more. She is the woman who knows her rhythms, trusts her instincts, honours her body and holds her power with quiet authority.
She is our guide through the shifting seasons of life... peri-menopause, menopause, transitions, endings and new beginnings... helping us stay tethered to what is true in our hearts, bodies and the work we are called to do in the world.
The Empress is the archetype of embodied sovereignty: not power-over, not pushing, not performing... but the power that comes from living in your body, rooted, regulated, receptive and true. She asks us to slow down enough to hear what’s real, hold steady when old patterns tug us back into over-giving and step fully into the woman we are becoming.
Why she matters for 2026
Next year carries the energy of embodiment, truth, rhythm, and sovereignty. It’s a year to anchor, not push; to tend ourselves with gentleness and steadiness.
The Empress Rising is here to support this... a year-long journey to root practices in your body, align with your intuition and step fully into the woman you are becoming.
She teaches us to:
→ Regulate our nervous system
→ Make decisions from clarity rather than fear
→ Trust the body’s pacing
→ Soften armour we’ve outgrown
→ Stop collapsing our needs or shrinking our voice
→ Root into our boundaries without apology
→ Live from instinct rather than intellectualising
→ Honour the seasons inside our own blood and bones
The Empress is the woman many of us are becoming, and she is the guide who will carry us into this next chapter with steadiness, grace and quiet power.
Dates & times
We will meet on the first Friday of each month, from 1pm - 2pm, beginning on Friday 6th February.
The day retreat will be held on Friday 19th June, 10am - 3pm at Hawthorn Cottage, Dorset. Or we might go up to The Witches Circle!
What the journey holds
→ Monthly 60-minute online circles to root practices in your body, explore embodiment, ritual and reflection
→ A mid-year in-person group retreat day at Hawthorn Cottage to soften & strengthen
→ A private WhatsApp group for sharing, support and ongoing connection
→ A year-long invitation to deepen your embodiment, reclaim your energy, and settle fully into your truth
And never before have I felt the wintry fingers of The Empress calling me into my own winter rhythm. I know I am being readied to lead, to hold space, and to guide this energy with you in 2026.
The exchange
£1,111 per person for the full year
(Payment can be made in full, or in 12 monthly instalments of £93)
Who is this path for
Engage in rituals and reflective practices that foster deepening, self-exploration, and connection with like-hearted women. Each month is an invitation to let go of the familiar and attune to the quiet stirrings of your own inner wild.
This is a year-long container for women who are:
→ Navigating perimenopause, menopause, or profound identity shifts
→ Tired of over-giving, over-functioning, or self-abandonment
→ Ready to live from instinct, rhythm and embodied knowing
→ Longing for steadiness, continuity and meaningful sisterhood
How to join
Email Katy to step into the circle and weave yourself into the pulse of this sacred sisterhood.
WISDOM, EARTHINESS AND WARMTH
"There is something undeniably magical about the way Katy holds space for women. It’s a unique blend of wisdom, earthiness, warmth, compassion and deep belly laughs" Stacy

THE OWLUMNI HEARTH GATHERINGS
As the wheel of the year turns, there are moments when the wild woman doesn’t need a long retreat or a deep descent... she needs a pause. A hearth. A place to land, soften and remember herself in the company of women who already know her.
The Owlumni Hearth Gatherings are intimate, seasonal day retreats held at Hawthorn Cottage, created exclusively for women who have journeyed with me before.
Four times a year, as the seasons shift, a small circle of just five Owlumni sisters are invited back to gather around the hearth. These gatherings are gentle, nourishing pauses… spaces to come home to your body, reconnect with your inner rhythm, share in circle, receive a guided seasonal meditation, enjoy a simple lunch and spend a slow afternoon crafting or creating with your hands.
What a Hearth Gathering holds...
→ Arrival and grounding into the body
→ A shared opening circle and seasonal reflection
→ A guided meditation attuned to the energy of the season
→ A simple, nourishing lunch together
→ A slow crafternoon... making, weaving, creating at the hearth
→ Spaciousness, laughter, quiet moments and soul-tending
Dates & times
The Owlumni Hearth Gatherings will be held four times a year, aligned loosely with the turning of the seasons:
→ Friday 27th February 2026... Winter loosening, early stirrings
→ Friday 15th May 2026... Rooting before summer’s fullness
→ Friday 11th September 2026... Re-grounding and harvest
→ Friday 4th December 2026... Threshold into winter
Time: 10am – 3pm
Arrival from 9.45am to settle in and land
You are welcome to book individual gatherings, or anchor the year by reserving multiple dates in advance.
The exchange
£111 per person
Limited to five women per gathering
These gatherings are intentionally small, intimate and held within my home. The exchange reflects the care, presence and space being offered. Seasonal food and all materials included.
These gatherings are for you if:
→ You long for seasonal pauses without committing to a full retreat
→ You value intimacy, warmth and depth over scale
→ You want to stay connected to this work, this rhythm and this sisterhood
→ You feel nourished by simple ritual, shared space and slow creativity
Optional Add-on... The Hawthorn Day Retreat (one-to-one styles)
For women who feel called to deepen further, there is an option to wrap a one-to-one day retreat around a Hearth Gathering.
This can be booked for the day before or the day after your chosen gathering (subject to availability), offering space for deeper listening, personalised guidance and integration.
→ Full-day 1:1 retreat at Hawthorn Cottage
→ 10am–3pm
→ Exchange: £333
This is entirely optional and offered quietly for those who feel the call.
How to join
The Hearth Gatherings places are limited and offered on a first-come basis. Women are welcome to book individual gatherings, or anchor the year by reserving multiple dates in advance.
Email Katy to express interest or book your Hearth Gathering day/days.
THE ONE-TO-ONE SPACES
For those who feel called to walk more intimately, I hold personal spaces designed to meet you where you are. These sessions can be stand-alone, or woven alongside The Owlumni Circle, The Owlumni Autumn Retreat, or The Path of the Wild Woman.
These offerings are for women who wish to deepen their journey, navigate transitions, or simply receive focused, heart-led guidance.
Options include...
A Year Together... a year-long, soul-led immersion into the rhythmns of life and spirit, a sacred spiral of growth, release and the awakening your wild, wise power. You can discover more here
The Seasonal Sessions... three months of 1:1 mentoring + WhatsApp support, tailored to your journey. You can discover more here
The Hawthorn Day Retreat... a soul tending day to rest, remember and reclaim within the spell-woven walls of my Dorset home. You can discover more here
The Hawthorn Two Day Retreat... a deep immersion in restoration where day one offers hands-on healing and day two carries us into the wild power and presence of The Witches Circle. You can discover more here
Each one-to-one space is held with care, presence and attention, creating a container for release, growth and wild woman embodiment.
You can discover the full richness of the one-to-one experiences and the ways they can guide and hold you on your journey, on the main bit of the website.
If you’re unsure which offering calls to you, simply send me a note and together we can explore the pathway that feels most aligned with your journey.
I FELT OPEN HEARTED AND ACCEPTED
"Katy's magick is subtle, almost invisible at times, yet deeply potent. She brought warmth, love and creativity in the air. She breathed kindness and compassion into our hearts. She reached places I have never been able to reach before. Spending time in her presence made my heart swell with love. I felt open hearted, accepted, worthy and loveable. Katy shone a mirror into your heart and all the pieces that were fragmented and hurting were beautifully pieced back together, woven with twigs, moss, leaves, berries, magic, love and joy.” Katie
ALIGNED JOURNEYS
Women choosing to step into multiple pathways together will receive a bespoke exchange, honouring the continuity of their commitment and deepening of their work.
If you are unsure what is right for you, please get in touch. We can share a zoom cup of tea and explore what feels good for you... or even craft a deeply nourishing, bespoke journey for your 2026, aligned with your rhythms, intentions, and wildest aspirations.
WHY WALK WITH ME?
I am Katy. A soul tender. A wayfinder. A weaver of what’s ancient, sacred and true.
I work with thresholds... the spaces between what is falling away and what is ready to rise. My medicine is born of the land, the bones, the cauldron and the hearth. It’s rooted in witch blood and remembering and shaped by years of walking beside women as they soften, unravel and return to the wildness of their own knowing.
I do not promise transformation... I hold space for it.
Through ritual, through touch, through story and silence, I guide women back to their bodies, their truth and the power that lives in their blood and bone.
My own path has been mossy, messy and magnificent. I’ve walked through fire, grief, thresholds of birth and death. I’ve known the ache of not-enoughness and the beauty of becoming. And through it all, I have learned that tenderness is strength and wild truth is holy.
This is the medicine I bring. Ancient, rooted, real.
If you choose to step into any of The Owlumni offerings, you will be held in this way: with a fierce softness, with a listening heart, with earth and ritual and wild woman magick.
And if you are a little unsure what the option is for you, simply email me and together we can work out the best pathway for you.
I am so looking forward to walking beside you this year.
Love & twigs
Katy

A YEAR OF WILD & WISE FEMININE UNFOLDING
Each of these pathways... from the gentle rhythm of The Owlumni Circle, to the immersive depth of the Autumn Retreat, the seasonal unfolding of The Path of The Wild Woman, and the intimate one-to-one spaces... holds its own unique magick.
They can be experienced on their own, or woven together to create a deeply aligned, transformative journey.
In 2026, the energy of the wild feminine calls us to step into our power, trust our intuition, and move boldly with authenticity and heart. These offerings are here to meet you where you are, to guide and support your growth, and to hold space as you explore, embody, and celebrate the full spectrum of your wild, wise self.
I cannot wait to walk beside you through the coming year, to witness your unfolding and to share in the joy, the stillness, and the magick that each moment brings.
