Katherine Allen (KaDi)

KaDi devotion is in facilitating transformational and empowering Women’s Temple and Conscious Movement gatherings.

A central focus of her calling is to support women to awaken a powerful connection to the wisdom of their own body. This commitment grew from many hard-earned lessons of giving herself away on the devotional path following other powerful guides.

KaDi’s spiritual journey of self-discovery lead her to spend several decades traveling across India and Nepal on countless pilgrimages to Goddess temples. Eventually her desire for traveling to holy sites guided her back to her own sacred body knowing, following a deeper call to turn within and radically trust the body.

Reclaiming our innate worth and holy body, rooted in self-trust and our vast creative power, are her foundational stones.

KaDi received the quiet whisper of her ceremonial name KaDi many Moons ago at a women’s circle. In the Sanskrit map, Ka is the first syllable of the alphabet and emanates from the front of the heart lotus, and this powerful syllable also has roots with KaDi’s family lineage. The sound Di (pronounced Dee) is short for the Hindi word Didi, meaning sister. So it is the energy of heart-sister, that mutually empowering reciprocity of loving connection, which KaDi aspires to embody.

“I vow to dance with love at the center, following the spiral path of deep listening, grounding in dignity, and honoring the sacred gift of life. My wish is to be a catalyst, a heart-sister, supporting and empowering other women to reclaim their inner truth, so we may walk in clarity and purpose together.”

As a leader and facilitator, KaDi aspires to lead in love, honoring our innate capacity for healing and transformation. Personal choice, expression and intuition is centered in a practice of deep listening through our body. She is passionate about co-creating empowering experiences through dance, ritual, and community building.

Some of her skills have come through trainings in Women’s Temple Leadership with Awakening Women Institute (2014-15), Priestess Path with ALisa Starkweather (2016-17), and Azul Conscious Movement Teacher Certification (2021-23). In 2023 KaDi and another sister launched a weekly Conscious Movement gathering in central CT – www.CTConsciousMovement.com. KaDi also co-leads a women’s monthly temple circle in CT. In 2022-2023 KaDi participated in 13 Moons guided by Jonah Ruh Roberts and Una Gallagher and in March 2023 stepped into co-leadership of 13 Moons with Jonah.
