FAQ

What Archetype Academy students want to know:

Note: The Mystical Year program has it’s own set of specific FAQ’s. Click HERE to check it out.

What if I don’t know anything about archetypes or ritual?

Perfect! The Archetype Academy is the right place to begin your experience. You’ll get lots of information and support via workbooks and Facebook Live sessions about archetypes and ritual.

Is this course only for women?

The Archetype Academy online courses are designed for women and female identified people, though men and male identified people would certainly gain insight from participating. The course language is entirely in she/her/hers pronouns.

Note: The Mystical Year program is offered to female identifying people only.

How do I get my course materials?

Check out our handy download guide to see how the course is delivered upon checkout: How to Download your Course Materials.

Can I share the course materials with my friends and clients?

We’re really glad you asked! In short, no. You’re investing money and time in this experience. In honor of your investment and Katie’s creative work, we ask that you NOT share any course materials with folks who haven’t made the same investment. Each person who accesses this course materials should enroll properly.

Is this a teacher training?

Nope. This experience is designed exclusively to enhance your life and deepen your self-knowing. The material presented is meant for your own growth. 

What cultural practices will be covered? Which cultures?

This course is inspired by ancient European earth-honoring cultures, which is Katie’s lineage. Instead of covering specific practices we’ll focus on bringing updated versions forward for you, the modern-day mystic. 

What sort of supplies will I need?

For the Fundamentals and DIY Materia Mystica courses, you’ll need an email address, access to a computer or device to download course materials. You’ll also need access to a printer to print out your workbook PDFs. You may also like to get three-ring binder and paper if you plan to print the Materia Mystica and other course materials. You’ll want headphones, ear buds, or a speaker to hear the audio recordings. There will be options to acquire certain “tools” like a chalice or hand mirror in each segment of the Materia Mystica. All altar and ritual supplies are up to you.

What’s the refund policy?

While we totally understand the desire for a “safety net” before enrolling, because of the subjective nature of this class (in that there’s no way to tell if it’s “working” because the course material is so deeply personal) there are no refunds. 

Testimonials

“I enrolled when I realized I needed to gather myself back together after years of being flung out over space and time.  I can’t speak highly enough about this course and Katie’s leadership. The material was magical and the experience transformative.” – Selinde L. 

“I am incredibly grateful to Katie and all that she offers… she teaches birthright medicine in a way no one else does. She’s a gem, and what she brings to the heart is nothing short of spectacular and miraculous. Don’t miss the opportunity to know yourself through Katie’s eyes.” –C.H.

“Working with Katie Vie was a beautiful soul journey for my spirit. She weaves the seasons and archetypes together in an incredible tapestry of deep learning and heart opening rituals. Katie is a glowing candle, keeping the seasonal changes and our own archetypal patterns in an illuminating, soft focus.” — Sabrina L. 

 “Belonging to a group centered around mystical experience was pretty much what I yearned for my whole life. Within each season of study, there was an honest lesson learned and a new perspective to integrate. My personal goals were not only supported and witnessed by a genuine circle of women, they were anchored and guided by Katie’s expertise in ritual facilitation.  I found true purpose.
— Rebecca S. (2018 participant)

“Katie passionately creates a magical, solid space for thought provocation, delight, sisterhood, and realization. It’s depth with a refreshing edge and wit. You can giggle like a school girl and dive deep all in one day. I sit so comfortably here, it’s easy to explore my mind, heart, and soul and find cohesiveness. It’s a sweet place to land. –Tara B.

“I can’t imagine my life without having the knowledge and tools I’ve gathered in this program. Life feels so much easier when I’m in alignment with the archetypes and the wheel of the year. Through Katie’s teaching and Materia Mystica I was handed a container to live a life of integration and consciousness. I now can recognize the archetypes within me and value their voice. Through her channeling of ancient wisdom and rituals she provided a sacred space for us to gather, connect to our own ability to channel, and learn the craft of honing and improving our individual “super powers”. I am much more fluent in my ability to channel the divine that flows through me.” — Kari T.E.

“Katie Vie is a wonderful guide for any woman who wants to be little more authentic and present in her life, is curious about the feminine divine, and wants to form a more loving relationship with her self. I feel immensely fortunate to know Katie, and to be part of the loving community she has created.” –Katherine D.
