Pause in August

for A contemplative walk

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.

You are invited to a contemplative walk in nature. This gathering offers a intentional space to quiet the mind, notice the sacred in the earth around us, and connect with a like-minded community.

THEME: finding the holy in nature

The experience will include a prayer by John O’Donohue to begin, a time of walking in the quiet, a regathering to notice and share, and then sharing on the rest of the journey. We will walk approximately 2 miles on a paved trail…..etc.shady, bring water, parking available…

For Beauty

As stillness in stone to silence is wed,
May solitude foster your truth in word

As a river flows in ideal sequence,
May your soul reveal where time is presence.

As the moon absolves the dark of distance,
May your style of thought bridge the difference.

As the breath of light awakens colour,
May the dawn anoint your eyes with wonder.

As spring rain softens the earth with surprise,
May your winter places be kissed by light.

As the ocean dreams to the joy of dance,
May the grace of change bring you elegance.

As clay anchors a tree in light and wind,
May your outer life grow from peace within.

As twilight pervades the belief of night,
May beauty sleep lightly within your heart.
— John O'Donohue
