Pause is a space to step out of the usual pace and reconnect with your life as it is. Each monthly gathering offers a different way to slow down and notice what’s here: through reflection, creative practice, quiet, movement, time in nature, or even a bit of play and laughter. Some sessions may feel still and spacious, others more active or expressive, but all are designed to help you reconnect, engage your life more fully, and make room for whatever you’re carrying.

Gatherings may take place at the Bread of Life office or in other community settings.

join us for a time for your artistic expression to unfold

This is an opportunity to allow water, color, and simple lines to guide you in meditative, creative expression. No art experience required. Wear comfortable clothing that can tolerate drips.

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Hope that is ours, needing our focused, observant attention,

that we look for signs of it near, and everywhere.”
