About the retreat

A day away from
the everyday.

Set aside a day and choose a comfortable place where you can be mostly uninterrupted. The Pause gives you materials and guidance for a retreat you can create at home or somewhere you choose.

Follow the meditations and journal sections at the beginning, middle, and end of your day. In between, decide how you want to spend your time.

Write, draw, walk, sit outside, listen to music, move, rest—or do nothing for a while.

Who it’s for

Time to hear
yourself again.

The Pause is for people who want time away from everyday demands to notice their own thoughts, feelings, and needs.

You can follow the recordings, use your journal, or spend time doing something you enjoy. Your retreat can be as quiet or as creative as you choose.
