About this Retreat
Your Guides
Hi, I’m Katie and I focus on supporting people and workplaces to feel a sense of ease and belonging.
My offerings are primarily meditation and sound (gong) practices to support you to find ease and belonging in yourself; how to feel and be human. I run retreats, courses and online offerings. I primarily work alone, but I also partner with carefully selected humans who I invite to some of my retreats and events.
My way of guiding and being has been passed down from generations of ancestors and I have roots in many parts of the world. My upbringing has been filled with the wonders of African spirituality, Western learning and deep love for Eastern practices. I enjoy a blended approach to what I guide and teach.
I hold a BSc in Psychology and MSc in Occupational Psychology.
I’m a certified meditation teacher and trained under the incredible scholars in Deepak Chopra’s program (Vedic Primordial Sound Meditation : a silent mantra based meditation practice rooted in transcendental meditation). I teach this and many other practices such as self-inquiry, visualisation, metta, mindfulness and many more. I trained with the Dalai Lama in India and am also one of the meditation experts featured on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Wellness app and festivals. I am also a CMA Certified Gong Facilitator.
Overall, I’m not attached to any particular training or perspective. I am open and here for it all in equal measures and with equal respect. Everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation and age are safe with me.
