Kev Place


A musician who always finds peace and joy in song.

With over 36 years of military service, he has transformed inner conflicts and experiences of war into sources of peace and happiness, which he shares now as a full-time NHS hospital chaplain specialising in staff wellbeing and palliative and end-of-life care.

Kev’s spiritual journey has deepened his commitment to living mindfully, developing compassion and true communication.

His work with healthcare colleagues has reinforced his belief in the transformative power of deep listening and shared moments of joy and happiness.

Kev cherishes meeting new people from all walks of life and is dedicated to fostering a welcoming space where we can connect and find harmony.

Known for his thoughtful and compassionate nature, he looks forward to co-creating a space in this retreat where peace, joy, and togetherness can flourish through the power of song.
