Is it possible to follow a diety's teachings without worshipping them? Hauli pays more attention to the Balance, though he is learning to be very avid in his learnings of Katia, but he feels little desire to worship her.

Very much so.
I quote this from the Druid information:
Quote:

But a druid is less likely to be a fervent follower than a cleric whose powers derive directly from the blessings of her or his deity. Katia, for example, personifies nature, and as such can give a druid a very powerful and tangible point of will focus. But a druid’s strength is not gifted from Katia herself. A common druidic philosophy is that the gods themselves are a product of a natural confluence of natural forces. They evolved. It is considered blasphemous by many and in some places gives druids a hated outsider status, but to them the gods themselves emerged from nature and are in many ways subordinated to its fundamental flows and connections. Thus, druids are not always worshipers of Katia as is commonly thought, and even those that are may view worship in an entirely different light than others.

My Druid follows Folian S'pae. She always has, probably always will; however, she talks more of the Mother then anything. And by Mother she does not necessarily mean Katia is the sense that others think of her.
Anyway, yes you can.
