Facilitation
I love to create safe containers and facilitate experiences for groups of people to learn, create, explore and expand! I have a range of offerings which I’ve been curating and facilitating over the past three years across conscious festivals, retreats and private events.
Here are some of my core workshop offerings and testimonials:
ACROYOGA FUN-DAMENTALS
-
Free your inner child and feel wonderfully connected to others through this embodied practice of lifting and balancing each other!
This is an open-level, playful workshop teaching some acroyoga fundamental skills, poses and transitions, through a mix of verbal teaching and dynamic exercises and games. Expect games, giggles, and gravity-defying gorgeousness.
-
‘I felt amazing for the rest of the day - it was my favourite workshop of the weekend.’ - Agathe, Medicine festival workshop attendee
‘My partner and I forgot about our arguments and actually had fun together! It was just what we needed to come back to love and laughter.’ - Chris, Rumble festival workshop attendee
‘I didn’t believe I’d be able to do what I did - it was so empowering. I also loved the little massage at the end, it was really grounding and helped us wind down after all the magic!’ - Lucy, Burning Nest festival workshop attendee
JOURNEY TO HANDSTANDS
-
Explore the joy of the journey towards helping ourselves find balance upside down.
This is an open-level, skill-building workshop teaching some of the fundamental building blocks of progressing your handstand practice - including the key ingredients of presence and playfulness. Journey through animal-movement inspired warm ups, group games and partner exercises. Learn how to integrate intentions into your handstand practice, and remember always that the journey is the destination!
-
‘I’ve never held a handstand like that for more than half a second. There was something about the lack of pressure, that we were just playing without fixing on the goal. Cat is an excellent teacher.’ - Amir, retreat centre guest
‘It’s given me great confidence to be able to build up my home practice. I’ve even started teaching my friends a few things I learned!’ - Tom, retreat centre guest
‘I feel so amazing and am so proud of myself for what I could do. This was a very good workshop.’ - Anastasia, retreat centre guest
AUTHENTIC RELATING
-
Authentic Relating (AR) is the practice of freely expressing your true experience in the company of others, and receiving the authentic expressions of others with openness and compassion.
My AR workshops are adaptable to different settings and group sizes. I create a group container of safety, non-judgement, radical acceptance, compassion, and curiosity, and guide us through a range of games and exercises to help us explore what it really feels like to authentically connect. Check out ART online for more information about the practices of Authentic Relating.

‘Feeling seen is the most powerful thing. It was beautiful to experience that so profoundly in this workshop.’ - Michael, Burning Nest workshop attendee
I usually find this kind of thing uncomfortable, it’s hard for me to feel safe in a group. The radical acceptance was so moving - for the first time in ages it felt ok to be where I was really at. - Ellie, retreat centre guest
SOUND JOURNEYS
-
Drift into dreamstate with a guided visualisation mediation, then float through a restorative sound journey of crystal bowls, guitar, percussion and ethereal vocals.
Sound speaks to our nervous system, and is one of the most powerful tools we have aside from the breath to support relaxation, restoration and integration. Combining my skills and experience as a singer with my trainings in energy work and sound healing, over recent years I have been developing my sound journey offerings within retreat centres abroad and for festivals and events in the UK.
I offer 60-90 minute guided meditation and crystal bowl sound journeys tailored to the space and audience. I also love collaborating with other musicians and facilitators to expand the experience!

‘Cat’s voice is something else. I’ve been to a lot of sound baths, but this was next level. The safety of the container, Cat’s loving energy, the vocals… this was the best sound journey I’ve been to.’ - Farid, retreat centre guest
‘This was an amazing journey. Feelings moved through me with the sound and it felt safe. I felt a lot of acceptance and peace. I’d definitely do it again.’ - Dana, retreat centre guest
FIRE CIRCLES
-
Gather as friends welcoming all, and enjoy co-creating the feelings of love and community around a fire! With stories, magic, and music.
Having experienced much growth and expansion myself through sacred fires and song circles over the past years, it is close to my heart to offer this experience for others. I love to hold space in a circle and support others to share their favourite artforms, bringing us all together in a shared spirit. Over the past year I’ve hosted small fire circle events in London, small UK conscious gatherings, and abroad for a wellness centre.
-
‘I was planning to go to the pub but ended up here after a friend convinced me. I’m so happy he did. I’ve been looking for answers for years, and I found some of them sitting around that fire. It really is the most simple things that can make a huge difference.’ - Dave, Sit Around The Fire London event guest
‘I’m usually shy to share but Cat helped us feel so safe and welcome. It was beautiful to hear sharings from so many different cultures.’ - Maria, wellness centre fire circle event attendee
I also offer sharing circles, spaceholding and welfare support for small organisations and community events, on request.
