About
Pause Place was founded in 2016, dedicated to the strength of love, presence and connection.
From its conception, it was clear that the work was for all people, regardless of faith, background, disposition or anything else.
Grounded in a formless energy, Pause Place strips everything back to the essence. It is uncomplicated, clear and precise.
Pause Place not only explores the raw reality of being human it is in equal measure a mystery- one that is only made possible by an undeniable trust and alignment with the beyond.
The one thing repeatably said is that it is impossible to describe in words.
And it is true- it cannot be captured completely- it has to be experienced and then lived.
It is beyond words.
Our founder
Katie Abbott worked as a Therapist from No 1 Harley Street in London for twelve years, founding Pause Place in 2016.
She was the meditation specialist for the Soho House group for six years and has taken hundreds of people on journeys both in the UK and worldwide to explore the strength of love, presence and connection.
Her work has travelled far and wide, including the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, Kerala in Southern India, Marrakesh and the Atlas Mountains, to the heart of Paris and to the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
Poet, author and mystic, her first book ‘Love’s Secret- A Journey to the Beyond’ was published by the Quilliam Press in 2022.
She is a respected teacher and confident to some of the world’s most well known public figures and the precision, depth and potency of her work, makes it unforgettable and life changing.
