With Katie George
TRUE PRESENCE: A MID-SPRING SANCTUARY
FULL DAY MEDITATION, GONG, NATURE & NOURISHMENT RETREAT - AT THE OAK HOUSE (HATFIELD HOUSE GROUNDS)
SUNDAY 3RD MAY 2026 | 10:30 - 17:00
Step away from life’s hum and into the ancient, soothing stillness of Hatfield House and surrounds. The True Presence Retreat is a curated, full-day immersion designed to transition you from the scattered energy of spring into a state of deep, luminous clarity.
Timed with the Mid-Spring Full Moon, this retreat is an invitation to align your internal rhythm with the blooming world outside. Whether you are navigating a period of stress or simply seeking a sophisticated reset, this day offers the tools to return to your center.
THE JOURNEY
We will move through a purposefully designed arc of restoration, blending ancient wisdom with practical, modern application. I will be joined by the phenomenal Melissa Delport; holistic health coach, chef, retreat facilitator and author:
Inner Architecture: Expert-led Mindfulness and Visualisation practices to ease the mind.
The Mindful Plate: A mindful eating session exploring the art of mindful eating to awaken your senses and ground your body.
The Spring Harvest: A beautifully prepared, nourishing rainbow lunch. Tea fusions sipped in ceremony to begin and close the day.
Nature Immersion within the private, historic gardens of Hatfield House. A chance to connect with nature at its most vibrant.
Collective Creation: Tailored journaling that culminates in a Group Spring Poem. This is a unique takeaway that captures the shared energy of our gathering
Sonic Submersion: A signature Deep Gong Bath to dissolve deep-seated tension and facilitate a transcendental state of renewal.
Sessions are informational, yet practical, ensuring you always know why we are using each practice.
