FAQ
Counsel sessions are for anyone — whether you are:
- thinking of working with the wovekind studio to craft your jewelry
- have an heirloom you'd like to redesign
- have a milestone in life you want help processing through adornment and/or ceremony
- already have adornment but want to reinvigorate it with new meaning
- working with another jeweler but want guidance on creating the sacred container to make the experience profound and meaningful
Kate Ellen will meet you where you're at, and create a tailored session and experience for you. She uses her Holistic Design Method to help guide you through both the practical and emotional landscape of turning your life story into ritual & ceremony.
Individual Counsel is appropriate for folks who are designing jewelry for themselves - OR - for folks who are gifting jewelry to someone special.
Couples Counsel is for folks who are designing a ring or rings together.
Both types of counsel can be scheduled as single sessions, or as a package that takes you through the entire Holistic Design Method framework.
Currently, all sessions are held on Zoom. In the future, we are imagining an in-person space to do counsel sessions.
Sessions run 60 minutes each and include a Zoom recording and a short email with notes following each session. When you purchase the Single Session or Holistic Design Package, you will be sent an email with a link to book your session(s).
The Holistic Design Package should take a minimum of 4 weeks to do (one session per week), though most people will take longer because in-between sessions there are assignments to complete. Having the patience to contemplate and let things unfold will go a long way too!
In your confirmation email there is a link to book your preferred time for your session. You can book it before you start the coursework, during or after. Kate Ellen will collaborate with you to address all your questions, hold your realizations, and provide space for deeper contemplation.
Only if your project aligns! Kate Ellen will guide you through the process and help you consider all the talented jewelers who might make your dream ring, each specializing in their own artistry. If you really want to work with Kate Ellen, that's awesome (but not required). She has her core collection of Ceremonial Jewelry and Heirloom Redesign.
The Holistic Design Method is an intimate journey, our first priority is making sure that you feel secure to explore. If you are unsatisfied or it's a simple misalignment for any reason, you can request a refund.
For Single Sessions, you will be refunded in full for your used session. For Holistic Design Packages, you will be refunded in full and your subsequent sessions will be cancelled.
