Your guide as you find meaning and belonging through new stories and rituals.

Hi, I’m Kitty Edwards

“I'm beyond thankful that this world helped me meet Kitty. She saved my life.”

What I Teach, I’ve Lived, And Continue To Live

In 2024, the non-profit organization I had poured my heart into for years closed its doors. The year before, my husband of 45 years passed away.

Suddenly, every role I had used to define myself — director, wife, caregiver — was gone. 

So… what now?

Let’s Be Clear:
Grief Isn’t Just About Death

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve crossed or are standing at a threshold of a new chapter in life. That might be the loss of a loved one, job, home, community, health, or security.

Or perhaps you’ve stepped into a new role as a parent, partner, or caregiver.

These unravelings are fertile ground. The old story dissolves and a new one hasn’t yet arrived. It’s easy to lose yourself in this in-between.

For decades, I’ve created and held sacred spaces where stories, voices, and rituals support us through life’s great transformations. 

In recent years, I’ve had to reframe my own limiting myths. In doing so, I’ve reclaimed my voice, my vitality, and a new sense of purpose.

I created this website to offer you the same tools to release the old stories that drain your energies, and to invite in a new narrative that’s alive with meaning.

Now, it’s your turn to create a life rooted in purpose and joy.

 

Let’s gather the threads.
Change the story.
Find your way forward, together.

Kitty has been busy the last 40 years!

Consultations
Private Sessions & Resource Support

As a shamanic practitioner, Kitty has trained in Core Shamanism through the work of Sandra Ingerman and is a graduate of the Master’s Program at the Healing the Light Body School of The Four Winds Society.

Rituals
Ceremonies & Creating Sacred Space

Kitty also holds master’s degrees in history and education from the University of Colorado and has studied ritual practices on three continents.

Her favorite holiday is Dia de los Muertos, when we remember how close the ancestors truly are.

Kitty has shapeshifted through many roles, but her true calling has never wavered: catching the threads and stories others miss and weaving them into tapestries of meaning that are unexpected, intuitive, and transformative.

Love for Kitty

  • “Working with Kitty brought me such clarity — not only clearing what needed to be released but also pointing me toward the right direction. I always feel seen and held in her presence. Kitty has a gift for ‘seeing’ what is truly happening on an energetic level, and her guidance makes me feel safe, supported, and deeply understood.”

    Elizabeth McClain,
    Osteopathic and Orthopedic Manual Therapist

  • "Kitty is a compassionate teacher and leader who draws upon her own life experiences to be a guide to others. I trusted her ability to form a safe container for everyone in the workshop to maximally benefit from the subject matter being offered."

    Matthew Quiat
    Shamanic Practitioner

  • "I have worked with Kitty for over two decades with positive results! In our consultations we achieved outcomes that years of therapy did not. Her rituals helped me both personally and professionally. In particular when a loved staff person suddenly died, a ritual helped ease the grief of the remaining staff. Kitty’s writing is approachable and insightful and I always look forward to her emails."

    Debbi MacLeod
    Director Colorado Talking Books Library, retired

  • "Working with Kitty was like peering into a world of magic, hope and love, while still being aware of my humanity. The belief and conviction Kitty held about the raw and real emotions of death, dying, grief and emotion was a modeling I had never witnessed before. It shifted my understanding and world perspective and allowed me to begin my belief in hope, wonder, and curiosity."

    Lila Chase
    Instructional Designer, Thanatologist, Forever Learner + Teacher

  • "Kitty is a skilled workshop leader who has a really good balance of teaching from her wisdom perspective and being open to students' insights and experiences. I especially appreciated bringing in the mythic and energetic perspectives, as well as the experiential practices we did in small groups. Her deep study of shamanic practices and rituals has inspired me as a longtime end-of-life practitioner."

    Jan Booth
    End-of-Life Nurse Educator, MA, RN, NC-BC (Nurse Coach – Board Certified)

  • "Kitty turns toward challenges and frontiers with grace and levity. Kitty has a beautiful mind that makes practical building blocks out of abstract concepts in arenas of our lives. Her organizational skills are outshone only by her humane and compassionate ways of articulating how we learn, grow and flourish. What a wonderful human being, rich with heartfulness and warmth, and intelligent solutions for fluid ways of living fully."

    Dominie Cappadonna Ph.D., CT, WFR
    Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Death Awareness Educator

  • "In Kitty’s presence, time slows and the sacred becomes tangible. Her ceremonies are woven with intention, intuition, and ancient wisdom. She offers more than a ritual—she opens a portal into something timeless, spaceless, unifying, and magical! I feel blessed to have been introduced to Kitty and her offerings!"
