Katie Sharrock

My journey in transformative practices began in 1986 when I was introduced to Tibetan Buddhism, particularly the Dzogchen approach. Over the following two decades, I attended numerous retreats and received teachings from many eminent Tibetan Buddhist teachers. In 1992, I completed a six-month Foundation Course in Core Process Psychotherapy — a Buddhist-based psychotherapy training — followed by a three-month retreat. My professional development continued at the Rigpa Buddhist Centre in London for five years, where I ultimately served as National Director.

Following the birth of my daughter in 1998 I undertook a three-year training to become a Steiner Waldorf Kindergarten teacher. Managing the University of East London’s Children’s Nursery for two years led me to becoming Early Years Lead at the St Michael Steiner School in London, where I taught for over 15 years.

Since 2019 my home has been the Findhorn Ecovillage and spiritual community in the north of Scotland, where I continue to live part-time, alternating with Denmark, where I married in 2023. During the pandemic I served as community leader whilst living in the Findhorn community on the Isle of Erraid, off the west coast of Scotland, and undertook a training in Trauma-Informed Leadership in Community.

As a qualified Spiritual Coach and Caregiver, my work includes tutoring on the Quietude® Practitioner Training, a programme for those wishing to become soul companions to people approaching the end of life, as well as hosting public Death Cafés and singing with the Moray Threshold Singers.

I am a qualified TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) provider, integrating a trauma-informed approach to body therapy, and certified with the three-year Grof Legacy Training in May 2025. Currently serving as Administrative Director for the GLT Nordic programme and a member of the trainer team, I am also pursuing a master’s degree at Ubiquity University, specialising in Grof Studies.
