Our Debut E-Course
Initiating the Conscious Wedding Journey
Rings are the bookends of the wedding journey — the ring symbolizes the intention to marry, and are exchanged in ceremony to mark that the marriage is complete. The rings hold the arc of the story, beginning to end, and live on as a reminder of these original intentions deep into the marriage.
The course is interactive - part self-guided, part live workshop with Kate Ellen. You will join your beloved on a journey to choose a ring with love and meaning, all while deepening your connection and building a foundation for navigating the complex life transition of becoming a married couple, bookending your experience with your unique intentions.
In this course you will learn how to choose a ring that reflects your values and the unique beauty of your relationship, serving as as a guide for the rest of your wedding journey.
This course brings consciousness to the entire process — from proposal to ceremony — ensuring that you start your marriage fully aligned and joyously connected, not just going through unexamined traditions or expectations.

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.
