the Goddess
The Divine Feminine is true medicine for our times – the embodied, wild wisdom of love & liberation for our world.
In these days of great upheaval and change, death and rebirth, She moves as Sacred Midwife for us, helping us to birth new ways of living in justice and peace.
In the midst of uncertainty, what if you could tap into Her primordial Wild Wisdom?
What if you could let it guide you and guard you, leading you to new horizons in your own life and in our collective journeys?
Last year, over 1200 of us gathered to ReWild Christianity with the Divine Feminine. This year, we continue to hear the siren song of Her Wild Wisdom, and together, we are responding, remembering and returning!

We believe the Goddess lives in all of us, and our diversity reflects Her infinite beauty! During this summit, we are committed to honoring each person’s sacred dignity by creating environments where people of every identity and experience feel safe and included.
Wounding from dominant, patriarchal religion
Lack of connection with the Sacred Feminine (God as She)
Wanting to stay Christo-centered AND wanting the Divine Feminine in your life
Feeling trapped by old patterns of religious guilt and shame
Separation between your spirituality and your body, sexuality, femininity, or emotions
Difficulty integrating your (or your ancestors’) Christian faith with a more expansive, inclusive spirituality
Join us to find inspiration and solidarity in your journey with Her!

As Catholic-raised priestesses of the Divine Feminine, we have found so many people are longing for the healing and renewal of the Goddess, in dialogue with Christianity - but there isn’t much public conversation around it!
We created this summit to change that.
Kathleen Joan is a priestess of Brigid committed to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine, especially among those with Christian ancestry. Formed as a spiritual seeker and leader in the Catholic Christian tradition, she holds a dual Master’s degree in theology and ministry and has over 15 years’ ministry experience, including directing retreats, teaching classes on religion and spirituality, and leading small group spiritual communities. Kathleen offers Reiki energy healing and spiritual direction for all genders, as well as women’s circles and retreats, to help you reclaim the sacredness of the wild Feminine within you and take your place in the Divine Mother’s return today - which is the healing and rebalancing of our world.
Erin Duffy-Burke is a midwife of the soul, movement minister and priestess of the Divine Mother Love. Rooted in Catholic Christian spirituality, sacrament and social justice, she rises in service to the reclamation and renewal of Sophia, the Feminine heart of Christ. She is excited to re-member and reweave this golden thread of Sophia Christ all the way from the Great Cosmic Mother Goddess into our lives today. She holds masters degrees in Catholic Education, Multicultural Ministry and Christian Spirituality and over two decades of experience teaching, facilitating small groups and retreats and serving as a spiritual companion. She lives in St. Louis, MO.

Her message is “I am the passageway through which your soul makes its way in or out of the world of form, my body being a conduit for the eternal. On either side of the threshold, you will pass through me. My womb delivers and my womb receives. At the last hour, I will sing your return to my body. The transition is timeless; your experience, temporary.”
This summit is for you if you...
Long to connect with the Sacred Feminine - God as She!
Have Christian roots or consider yourself Christian, and desire to integrate Mother God+dess into your beliefs and practices
May have experienced wounding at the hands of Christianity and/or know your ancestors have
Want to know how the Divine Feminine can transform the systems of our world back into mutuality and justice
You want to rediscover the meaning of liberation for these times— with Her as our guide
Have always had a sense that opening to Her could transform our world, even if you don’t know how
Are longing for a more vibrant, embodied spirituality
Want to meet others who have similar questions, curiosities and longings
“I was deeply moved by the Resurrecting the Goddess Summit. Connecting with so many other like-minded souls who are equally hungry for Her, feeling touched by music that speaks of the Goddess and of her many names, and just knowing that many others are seeking a more expansive experience of the Divine all filled me with so much life! Gratitude to Kathleen and Erin for creating a much-needed and powerful gathering.”
-Karen
“As a recovering Catholic, this is a home I can feel comfortable in.”
-Cynthia G.
“As a lifelong Christian who only learned to call God ‘Father,’ I invite everyone to come learn about God our Mother!”
-Christopher F.
“To anyone seeking a spirituality of the feminine, especially if you come from a patriarchal Christian background, I cannot recommend this summit highly enough...Last year’s speakers celebrated the Goddess in all her lovely variety through scripture, nature’s rhythms, art, dance, guided meditation, and embodied practice. They challenged me to midwife my own spiritual rebirth and to embody the goddess within myself to bring healing, justice, and peace to the world. Please, give yourself this gift!”
-Marianne
I didn't know what to expect when I stepped into the Resurrecting the Goddess Summit but am SO glad I did! I love the inner connection I experience with Kathleen and Erin's gentle guidance but, it was dancing that set me free! I danced around my house during breaks. I danced with the other women online. And through the improv of just moving while reclaiming my body as the Temple to the Divine, I found Her once again, right inside where I left Her!
- Debi L.
No! This summit is for everyone who feels drawn to the Divine Feminine and wants to put that longing in dialogue with the Christian tradition. From “recovering” Christians to lifelong churchgoers - we’re here to help you return to Her in a world where She has been suppressed for too long.
No! We warmly welcome ALL genders to come learn and grown with us, held in the love of the Divine Feminine. We believe that since our world has been so unbalanced through patriarchy and suppression of the feminine, Her rising is part of our individual and collective return to health, balance, and wholeness. We welcome and affirm our non-female-identified attendees, including our genderqueer, Trans, nonbinary, and genderfluid siblings, as bearers of Divine wisdom and grace, which all of us can learn from in the process of rebalancing our spirituality and our world!
May you remember who you are… alive, awake and One with the Soul of Life.
May you remember whose you are… in every moment held and helped by She of Many Names.
May you return to Her rhythms… the cycles and seasons of life, death and rebirth.
Together, may WE come home to Love, where the wound becomes the womb, where there is room for EVERYone at the table of Life, and where we midwife the world anew!
