GATHER
Where we experience the beauty, power and the ceremonial nature of coaching while developing our space-holding practices, together. The heartbeat of community.
For those who know that devoting to the art of space holding isn’t just a nice-to-have, it's what'll ensure your work will FLY.
Who want to walk through the world facilitating rich, important, expansive and healing conversations.
Who are in this for the long game and want to meet the best of themselves.
Who are here to be moved! Expanded! Cracked open! Courageous!
Let me open the door for you…
There’s a teal, velvet couch and a thousand candles on the stage. We’re gathering in a warm, luxurious auditorium, dimly lit with the gentle hum of humans taking their seats. As we quiet down, this song turns up in volume, our hearts beating in time. The air is rich with intention and magic.
And then - we’re silent. Together. We take a collective breath.
I invite one person to join me on the couch, we sink into our most comfortable positions and dive into the deepest, truest conversation of our lives, gloriously witnessed by the room full of humans, holding the highest vision with each other, for each other.
Coaching feels like a ceremony when we hold this intention.
May we bathe each person receiving coaching in the kind of community love we’ve all craved.
Seen, held, together.
Learning, witnessing, receiving.
Sacred, connected, reverent.
This is the essence of Gather.
WELCOME
to GATHER
My entire life I’ve wanted nothing more than the world to be full of deep, true and honest conversations. My heart is on fire for spaces where we get to be heard, held, brave.
Gather has the heartbeat of the community that you didn’t even know you needed.
The space we arrive at, land into and connect. It is a sacred environment of deep, non directional coaching where we come to be loved, together. To witness and be witnessed. To be moved by our humanity. To allow for spontaneous healing and the kind of belly laughs that rumble our worlds in the most delightful way.
Gather is for those who are in devotion to the art of space holding.
It’s a space where we both experience the beauty and power of coaching (we gather for regular sacred coaching experiences) and develop our space holding skills, together (there’s a ton of opportunities for you to receive mentorship, deepen your practice, have all of your questions answered and be invited into ceremony).
I’ve always been enamoured by the craft of deep conversation and for over a decade, I've made it the art of my life. I know that I’ll be 95 years old, still fascinated by the threads of brilliance and the powerful questions that can create transformation, one conversation at a time.
The most devoted space holders require environments of depth. That I know for sure.
It is an ongoing practice of my life to have spaces to immerse in the power of coaching. To sink into the magnificence of witnessing someone having their own, life changing, profound insight.
To gather together to explore the integral art of space holding.
In a sense, this is a return to the deep, ancestral way of connection. Circling, listening, sharing.
“It has been an honour and a blessing to have received Sammie’s expert space holding.
It’s been truly life changing. It came in perfect timing, as things always do. Sammie got me tuned into that magical frequency where the answers and the sweet knowing live.
I loved having such deep space held for me (especially as I am usually the space holder for others). It felt so nourishing and supportive with such powerful questions leading to deep transformation.”

Award Winning Coach
WHO is GATHER for?
This is a 12 month, light investment experience for space holders. It’s most obviously suited to coaches, therapists, energy workers, healers, mothers, breathwork practitioners, birth workers, ceremonial workers and somatic practitioners.
It will be beneficial if you’re someone who is in conversation with your clients and you want to hold your people in your highest integrity.
If your work lies outside of these industries but you know you are called to gather in this way and deepen into your space holding gifts, I trust the call. Just send me a message here if you want to explore if this is right for you.
May we deepen into this, together.
There’s a collective pulse to Gather, invoking an expanded sense of space holding skill through the practice of being with each other, learning and experiencing, together.
The coaching, online self development and healing industry often works in the way that we practise and hone these skills in private, with our clients, behind closed doors. While that is a beautiful thing, imagine the shared expansion that becomes available when we do it - together.
When skill and self-trust are cultivated not just in solitude, but in shared space. When your growth is witnessed, your wisdom reflected and your presence amplified by a space that values depth as much as you do.
It’s a powerful thing to enter the room and gather with humans who desire depth and are walking the path of devotion in the way that you do.
Shared vulnerability creates shared connection, after all.
If you’re new here, lemme tell you a little bit about who I am and what brought me here, creating spaces for us to Gather together in this way.
I’m Sammie (she/her). A coach for devoted space holders and creatives across the globe who are here to connect with their true, deep, integrity-fuelled leadership.
I have been coaching and holding sacred space for over eleven years and have personally and privately coached over a thousand people. I worked as the in-house life coach at a wellness retreat and rehabilitation centre for three years. I’ve run international retreats and hundreds of workshops and circles. I have taught the craft of coaching for nine years and the sacred art of holding space for six.
Along the way I have fallen wildly-in-love with humans who choose a courageous path, who want to build a more beautiful world and are willing to enter into brave self enquiry, conversation, connection and ceremony to explore the work they're here to do.
I have put my attention on building and honing the skills of depth coaching and sacred space facilitation over any and all other skills in my business because this is where I know the real magic lies.
I believe that when you focus on honing your craft, you watch your work fly.
I know that I can powerfully guide, support and coach you and - of course - I am an eternal student of the art of space holding, the craft of deep conversation and what it is to truly and absolutely be with one another.
I am committed to continuously and actively engaging in learning, both through practice and mentorship.
My path of devotion when it comes to space holding is one of depth, always. I don’t believe I’ll ever master it. I’m definitely not attached to that. I’m much more interested in a life-long curiosity journey.
May we walk this path, together.
Truth is, above anything I say to you, I will always (always!) believe that you are your own greatest teacher. No matter who is guiding you, I hope that rings true in your being.
This is a space for us who aren’t concerned with perfection but rather desire to feel more rooted, more skilled, more connected. A space for our humanity to be entirely welcome.
We don’t hold the rigidity of having the answers, we can embody the softness of open listening and a true sense of responsiveness. Of adaptability and meeting each other in the mystery. We can hold the energy of the ever-profound “I don’t know” in the field.
This tremendous, important humility leaves breathing space and room for the magic that resides within the richest conversations.
It feels honest.
May we be honest, together.
This is an exploration of the depth of community, fresh perspectives and expansive learning in a multitude of ways.
Together we will witness one another. Together we will deepen.
Gather - where we experience the beauty, power and the ceremonial nature of coaching while developing our space-holding practices, together.
The heartbeat of community.
“I knew that Sammie held exquisite space because I have been in her spaces before - but to have this modelled to me so consistently and beautifully, has changed me.
You are exceptional, Sammie. Your heart is next-level open and kind and I loved being in your company and having you in my corner - it has truly changed me.
I already knew that my community of recovering women is full of some of the best humans - but I feel it more deeply now. I know that I am going to continue to advocate for systemic change within settings that don't have access to personal development and coaching/wellness and that is because I am more confident, more myself, more secure in my human-self and I feel as though my work is more needed than ever.
I am still processing it and don't feel as though I can fully articulate the experience yet, but I know that I am different than before I began.”

The Gatherings
Twice monthly rich, deep, honest online gatherings
Twice a month, we’ll gather for a coaching call with the sense of being together in that lush, candlelit auditorium. We begin in July and each time we meet, we will infuse the environment with a ceremonial feel and a few people will be personally coached. There will be overarching themes for these calls to imbue a unique energy for each gathering. Whether you’re being coached or witnessing others in the room, this is an invitation into exquisite presence.
Call Times:
→ First Call will be held on Thursdays NZT at 2:30pm
→ Second Call will be held on Thursdays NZT at 8pmYou're welcome to join as many calls as you like - there’s absolutely no requirement to attend them all. You might find one time works best for you, or you might mix it up month to month. Join the calls that work with the rhythm of your life, and if life is life-ing and you miss some, that’s completely fine. Recordings will always be available for you the next day.

Q+A Recordings
Monthly Q+A opportunities to answer YOUR questions
Every month, you’ll be prompted to ask me anything you like. I will respond to every single question with the highest value I can give you, alongside all of the other questions asked, which you can listen to or watch back whenever you like.
These questions may be around specific space holding experiences you’re having, the art of coaching, the way I work or something else entirely.
It’s an open table and you’re welcome to get as personal and juicy as you like ;) This is where I am in complete devotion to helping your space holding develop, deepen and expand. I love supporting you in this way.
Even if you don’t have a question every time, simply listening in can be incredibly supportive and expansive. Hearing the real, behind-the-scenes nuances of others' journeys often sparks insights of your own and reminds you that you are in incredible company.

FAQ’S
-
Yep. I work with humans all around the world! As it is genuinely impossible to schedule calls at a time that suits everybody at the same time, and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to join us, the calls will be held on Thursdays NZT at 2:30pm and 8pm.
We choose alternating times and days to suit all time zones and hopefully this means you’ll be able to make some of the calls. You’ll receive the exact schedule well in advance to make sure you can book ‘em in!
You're welcome to join as many calls as you like - there’s absolutely no requirement to attend them all. You might find one time works best for you, or you might mix it up month to month. Join the calls that work with the rhythm of your life, and if life is life-ing and you miss some, that’s completely fine. Recordings will always be available for you the next day.
-
Each month, you will receive the upcoming theme for our call. This simply allows us to hold loving parameters around the conversations. While there will be overarching topics for each call, each conversation will still go where it needs to go - we trust the magic of the moment and the mystery, after all!
-
I believe all coaching can feel ceremonial when we bring heightened awareness and a true sense of exquisite presence to a conversation. I want to create this for us in a rhythmic, monthly way - together. There is a profound magic to this style of space holding and willingness to truly *be* with each other and personally, I find it to be the most transformative style of conversation and way of being with each other.
It also means we will bring sensory elements into the coaching - you may be guided to light a candle if that is accessible to you, we may have music as we begin a call and we always (always!) have space to ground in to our shared environment.
-
Always! Most people will pay in this way to keep it light and easy and there’s the option to pay upfront if you prefer.

This may be possible based on availability. Please contact me here and I will be in touch.
