A Message from Kristin, Your Founder
Hello there! I’m Kristin, the somewhat feral, definitely weird, but deeply passionate founder of MoonWoven Sanctuary Church. I’ve been nurturing and expanding my spiritual practice for over three decades. Much like a stubborn weed that finds its way through concrete. I was raised on a small farm. My hands were always in the dirt. My heart was always connected to the rhythms of nature.
My journey into natural healing started as a rebellion against the idea that my brain needed “fixing.” ADHD isn’t a dysfunction—it’s my superpower, the force behind my creativity and curiosity. Prescription med’s only dulled that spark, and my body never took kindly to them anyway. I realized I could manage my ADHD naturally. I figured I could also help my Fibromyalgia and autoimmune issues the same way. So, instead of relying on prescriptions that made me feel worse, I turned to the earth. I learned to support my body naturally through trial, error, and deep study. I worked with herbs, energy healing, and holistic practices. This helped me find balance in a way that honors my wild, untamed spirit.
I’ve been practicing earth-based spirituality most of my life—think Wicca-adjacent but with my own peculiar twists. I got ordained at 21. Unfortunately, those papers went up in smoke during a house fire, so I got re-ordained in 2018. Now I’m on the other side of 50. I’m still gardening, foraging, and mixing herbs. I follow the moon cycles with the same wonder I had as a child.
Why MoonWoven?
I’ve always been a bit… different. Too earthy for the church folks, too structured for some pagan circles. I created MoonWoven because I got tired of waiting for someone else to build the sanctuary I was looking for. I wanted a place for the misfits to gather. Where the spiritually curious can come. It is also for the ones who don’t fit neatly into traditional boxes.
My path here wasn’t straight—it meandered like a creek finding its way downhill. I’ve collected wisdom like others collect stamps, taking a little from here, a bit from there. What drives me is simple: sharing knowledge, building community, and helping people heal and grow into their truest selves.
The Vision (Or What I See When I Close My Eyes)
MoonWoven isn’t just another spiritual center. It’s a living organism. It breathes with the energy of everyone who walks through our doors. I envision a place where:
- Everyone feels welcome regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey
- Knowledge flows freely through both free resources and affordable classes
- People can receive spiritual counseling, life coaching, and holistic healing
- Community grows naturally, like plants reaching toward the same sun
- Self-sufficiency and nature-based wisdom become practical tools for modern living
What We Offer
My focus is simple but deep—I’m here to teach, to listen, to heal, and to build. Whether you need spiritual counseling, there is space for you here. You might want to learn about herbal remedies. You may just need a community that accepts your beautiful weirdness. There’s a space for you here.
A Little Personal Story
I was raised going to Sunday school like many others. I sat in those hard pews and listened to stories of miracles and faith. After confirmation, I dove headfirst into theology, searching desperately for my place. What I discovered surprised me—what resonated wasn’t just one path but pieces from many traditions.
I’ve learned that spirituality isn’t one-size-fits-all. Mine looks like full moon rituals and plant medicine. Yours might involve meditation. It could also be prayer or dancing wildly under the stars. I don’t fit into the “normal category”—never have, never will—and I suspect you might feel the same way sometimes.
The most profound spiritual wisdom I’ve found is this: our journeys are as unique as our fingerprints. That’s exactly how it should be.
