Pause

September 11-13
Facilitated by Roy Jacob and Priya Prabhakaran

Pause is a residential retreat where we aim to co-create a safe space where we can welcome, listen to and share of ourselves in all our diversity, challenge ourselves to grow in new ways, and learn from each other.  Facilitated sessions throughout the day help us explore different aspects of ourselves, our relationships, and our connections with the wider world.  

For Whom?

Anyone interested in self-discovery and change at the personal, interpersonal, social and ecological levels.

Preferred age group is 20-35.  

We ask that everyone attend for the whole duration so as to maximize the potential for the whole group.

For this Pause we aim for around 10-12 people total.

Why Pause?

Often, in the busyness of daily life, we miss the opportunity to slow down and take a fresh look at what is really important to us.  To Pause is to take a step back from our routine, and to engage with each other for a time of deep listening, sharing from our hearts, reconnecting to Nature, and finding renewed vision and purpose. It is an invitation to step out of our comfort zone, and work on our own healing as well as the healing of the world. It is a call to take a fresh look at the patterns we are in, and realign with how we really want to be.

What might a Pause look like?

Pausing is one of those things that is difficult to explain without experiencing.  When a group of people come together with an intention to open up their hearts and be real, magic can happen.  Tears may flow.  We may look into each others eyes and receive a gift of healing.  Conflict may become the gateway for a breakthrough.   Despair for the state of the world can turn into empowerment.  And in the deep listening to our hearts and to Nature, new possibilities for ourselves and the world may emerge.

Language

This Pause will be conducted primarily in English.  However we welcome people to speak in the language they are comfortable with, and it can be translated into English.  

By Whom?

The Pause will be led by Facilipators (Facilitators who are also fully Participating).  We do not claim to be experts out to teach our knowledge, but rather co-explorers on this journey.  Facilipators for this Pause include Roy Jacob and Priya Prabhakaran.

Costs

At the end of the Pause we will tally up costs incurred, and invite people to contribute according to their ability.  Please do not let finances keep you from coming.
