Spiritual Direction & Therapeutic Tarot
What is Spiritual Direction?
“The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and the way you live can evolve with it. Our common goal is to make it become a soul-centered life. It’s the best magic carpet ride there is!”
-Kathryn Dickel, Resident Spiritual Director, Pollinate Ritual
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS MISSING IN YOUR LIFE? ARE YOU SEEKING A DEEPER CONNECTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, WORK - YOURSELF? ARE YOU DELVING INTO YOUR PURPOSE OR WANT TO CREATE MORE PEACE IN YOUR WORLD? ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT SPIRITUAL PRACTICES AND HEALING MODALITIES AVAILABLE TO YOUR ACROSS THE WIDE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE? IF SO, SPIRITUAL DIRECTION MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU.
Spiritual Direction is a sacred and profound mission aimed at helping to fostering spiritual growth and creating or deepening one's connection to their faith and inner self. Through the guidance of a Spiritual Director, individuals are offered a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore their spiritual journey, reflect on their experiences, and discern the presence of spirit in their lives. In this nurturing environment, seekers can gain new insights, clarity, and a sense of peace as they navigate the complexities of their beliefs, doubts, and aspirations. Spiritual Direction is not about providing answers per se, but rather about asking the right questions and accompanying individuals as they unravel the mysteries of their spirituality, ultimately leading them to a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
Kathryn Dickel is Pollinate Ritual’s resident Spiritual Director. She is a seeker herself and as such has learned the essential value of listening–to yourself and others–above all else. With this mindset, she helps each client determine what questions they are asking in their lives, what influence make up their unique understanding of the universe and where their curiosity is leading them.
Kathryn fosters an open environment for the seeking and works with a variety of modalities including narrative therapy, therapeutic tarot, somatic tools, music and art therapy, rituals from a variety of source traditions and the “cuddle puddle” space to create a journey for clients that ultimately helps them build a foundational spiritual practice of their own, centered around a personalized spiritual practice.
Kathryn is the founder of Pollinate Ritual and Pollinate Hive House which includes a robust community of seekers and fellow practitioners from multiple disciplines. All of which are accessible as part of our work together.
Kathryn is currently training for certification with the Haden Institute, which she will complete in January of 2026.
Therapeutic Tarot
Therapeutic Tarot is a safe, confidential modality that uses the ancient healing art of Tarot to help an individuals dive deeper into their life’s journey. We focus on specific areas of inquiry and integrate the iconography of Tarot to call up relevant themes and open dialog around life’s challenges, wisdom and new areas of exploration. While Tarot is the main tool, we also incorporate other systemic decks into the practice.
Ongoing work with Tarot will help a client build a pathway for distinct areas of inquiry in their healing journey helping them see subconscious patterning and lead them into internal guidance for next steps in the journey.
Therapeutic Tarot is not entertainment, fortune telling or predictive in nature. It is not a singular modality, but used most effectively as a tool in a larger, integrated self care practice, or an ongoing stand alone practice. Tarot can be utilized with an experienced facilitator or as a solo practice.
