Susie Kincade
Founder, Women’s Empowerment Workshop
Ceremonialist · Retreat Co-Facilitator · Private & Group Coach
Susie Kincade is the founder of Women’s Empowerment Workshop (WEW), established in 2011 to offer transformational nature-based retreats for women around the world. She also designs and leads empowerment camps for girls and boys in Colorado, rooted in nature and personal growth.
A pioneer for women in collegiate sports at UCLA and a mother of four daughters, Susie’s lifelong mission has been to empower girls and women through all of life’s transitions. Recognizing the need for balanced masculine and feminine empowerment, she later expanded her youth programs to include boys and girls ages 7 to 17.
Nature is the foundation of Susie’s work. An ICF-certified spiritual and life coach, she is also an author, public speaker, trained ceremonialist, and ordained Minister at The StarHouse in Boulder, CO. She leads rites and rituals for life’s significant passages. “Ceremony deepens my life as a leader, a climate and wilderness activist, and a teacher of ceremonial arts,” says Susie. “I’ve always felt deeply connected to the natural world and the miraculous web of life. That connection to Spirit and Life is at the heart of my teaching, ceremonies, and daily life.”
When she’s not guiding others through transformation, Susie finds renewal in the wilderness—hiking, rafting, tending her vibrant organic garden, and cultivating adventures in the ever-unfolding garden of life.

Co-creator and facilitator for Ceremonial Arts Training program in 2023
After 30 years of teaching young children, parents and educators I experienced hearing an “inner call” to move to Boulder Colorado. It was so profound I could not dismiss it. Little did I know by following, my whole life would change. This journey brought me to The StarHouse where I began a new way of engaging with the unseen energies that are always available to support us. The Path of Ceremonial Arts program assisted in my embodiment of the Sacred Art of Ceremony. On completion of PCA I became a facilitator of the program for 15 years and then a Minister of The StarHouse. My attention became focused on assisting people create meaningful ceremony in their lives to mark the important transitions in life.
Ceremonies for Sacred Living was born from this desire. My joy is to co-create with others, helping make life’s threshold moments sacred.
Our Mission
Women’s Empowerment Workshop programs empower women and girls to nourish mind, body and spirit by connecting to the natural world in a profoundly enriching, compelling, and transformational way. By reconnecting in a receptive way to the gifts of nature, women and girls discover and build their feminine power, confidence and purpose.
