When running my Yoga & Meditation Retreats, I start with gentle yoga to get people into their bodies and out of their heads, and then I invite some quiet time in the form of journalling, deep restful yoga nidra, time by the lake, lying in a meadow or in walking in the woods, sharing in circle and silent meditation. I see this experience, of holding space and allowing for awareness and insights to rise naturally, be spoken and honoured, as very close to the Coaching process. And so I include here some testimonials from recent retreats that I run here in Snowdonia, North Wales, UK.
"We embarked on a gentle journey of self-inquiry - collecting gifts and treasures along the way. Kate holds the space with such love and intention that anything is possible. I returned home with new tools in my well-being kit. Very grateful!" Annie Woolf
"Kate is a wonderful, patient teacher with so much knowledge to share. She has given me the tools I need to cope with a difficult period of life." Sam Piddington
"If you’re looking to be nurtured and held in a safe, sacred space… If you want to be offered tools to guide you through life; to learn about the more spiritual side of yourself, and to learn to experience life in a way that heals and nourishes and enables you to move forward, then Kate is the teacher you’ve been looking for." Tamzin Walton
"All that Kate shares comes with integrity as she is her authentic self, looking to guide you to find yours." Peter Jones
"Kate exudes kindness and warmth. Her wealth of experience enables her to pass on her skills and knowledge in clear, precise ways." Carol Gadd
"I came with an open mind and no pre-conceived ideas. My first impression was ‘What a lovely lady with a soft, kind voice. I am going to enjoy this!” The sessions were amazing! The Meditation was the most wonderful experience of my whole life! To be so still and to be in total contact with my soul – words cannot describe how that felt! Thank you, Kate, you are an amazing healer." Jean Piddington
"Kate is knowledgeable, kind and open. Like levels or platforms of release, she aids in peeling away what is not needed and restores what is." Danica Maier
"This has been a really beautiful and profound experience for me. It was exactly what I needed to restore and reset as I go forward and find my life’s purpose." Jane Townsend-Emms
"Thank you so much for holding such a lovely, positive and welcoming space. Thank you for your consideration and kindness, It was clear you put your heart and soul into it and we felt it! Thank you for all your energy." Jess North
"Kate is so knowledgeable, and a big benefit of the retreat is Kate sharing her knowledge with us all. I find the retreat coupled with my weekly yoga classes with Kate are invaluable to me. They have helped me so much in so many ways." Chris Ratcliffe
"The 4 Day Retreat with Kate at Trigonos exceeded all my expectations. She prepares and facilitates all of her yoga wisdom with such love and care." Angela Horner
