Manifesto

The journey into well-being is not ahead of you, but within you.

About

Kalikara is a curated sacred space offering immersive experiences designed to facilitate radical transformation. Kalikara means ‘friend of the liberating darkness,’ and you may enter an experience, be guided into the depths of your inner world to create profound shifts, and emerge renewed.

Each Kalikara offering has been developed by Katherine Anne Kaplan, after she walked the path(s) she now guides herself. She leads with faith in the rewilding, reconnection, and soul retrieval that may be unveiled on each journey.

Katherine is a Celtic Medicine Woman, Founder of KA Method®, and Author of “Inner Illumination: A Pilgrimage Within to Remember Who You Are.”Her work is informed by training in Vibrational Science, BioGeometry Energy Balancing, Spiritual Science, Daoist Stone Medicine, Yoga, Shamanism, crystal technologies, and subtle energy healing modalities. Her studies include a 1:1 mentorship with Dr. Robert J. Gilbert, Founder of the Vesica Institute for Holistic Studies, a private priestess initiation with Nicki Scully, Founder of Shamanic Journeys Ltd, and a five-year initiatory training path as a Celtic Medicine Woman in Ireland under the guidance of an Elder mentor. Katherine is an accredited Practitioner of Holistic Medicine by the IPHM.

Alongside her formal studies, Katherine’s path has been shaped by a near-death experience in which she consciously journeyed to the ‘afterlife’ and returned with an expanded view of multidimensional reality, and from self-healing from an abusive childhood. These experiences continue to inform the way she works, serving others in supporting their return to embodiment, power, purpose, peace, and sovereignty. Katherine supports you to step out of your own shadow into the most unapologetic version of your authentic self.

Serving with a commitment to peace and sovereignty.
