THE ART OF SPACE HOLDING
A special weekend event with Pause Place
The Art of Space Holding comes with time and with experience but during a weekend like this, you will get a visceral feel for it. Your body, heart, soul and mind will begin to sense into the structure, the rhythm, the power and the dignity, that lays in your hands.
It is the most exciting unfolding. Because there is infinite possibility and yet infinite grounding. Both these two polarities are necessary for magic to unfold. One needs attention, awareness and precision and simulansoulsy the devotional calling of the Lover.
Next year, 2026 will be Pause Place’s 10 year anniversary. For the last 10 years, I have been holding spaces for groups. Making space for transformation to happen both within and without.
There is a mastery involved but it can also be for the beginner because the heart is involved. And with the heart, time is irrelevant. It is about presence. And all can unfold now.
It is in your hands. The beauty and the mystery. And I am hoping that throughout this weekend, the spell will be unleashed within your own heart so that you can continue to share with others. With yourself, those you love and those who will find you.
Expect poetry, devotion, silence, spontaneity, grace, beauty, love, presence and connection.
I cannot wait to meet you. Whether you have been to Pause Place before or whether this is the first time. You will be so so welcome. It is loving like no other. The safest and yet freest space I know of.

““I had felt the gentle whisper inviting me in beforehand, and throughout the weekend Katie and the group held the most gentle, loving, warm embrace of a space I could ever have imagined.””
““I genuinely believe it is impossible to convey in words the beauty of the space. There is something deeply mystical about it, there is presence that is beyond the human form, and the ability to meet a deeper part of yourself that only feels possible when in that space.””
““It’s a mystery that takes place in these weekends, but what I do know is that whatever it is I touch upon is an echo that stays with me long after we close.””
““A weekend spent with Katie will move you in ways you couldn’t possibly conceive of.””
““I can attest to this being one of those rare doors that lead to the most magical of places.””
““There are no words to describe my experience of this- just follow the pull of your curiosity. Time spent with Katie and the people she gathers will be one of the most important things you choose to say yes to.””
““All I can say is, if you want to take the journey of a lifetime, to experience a holding like no other, a love like no other, whilst being so utterly grounded in humanity, this is it.””
““Don’t sit on it, if it’s calling your name book it! You will never regret it. Katie truly knows how to hold space for others. I have met the most incredible people during my weekends with Pause Place.””
““It felt like home.””
““Thank you for this space. For the love, presence, tenderness, and precision.””
““It just gets more and more beautiful Katie.””
““If there is even the slightest whisper calling you, listen to it. It’s too magical and precious for words really.””
