Announcing:
The Pa’lante Pause

Pa’lante Pauses are intentionally curated live experiences of healing and restoration where attendees will have a uniquely supported opportunity to create a personalized path toward resistance that is not at odds with wholeness. In breathtakingly beautiful natural surroundings, we will center the experiences of historically marginalized people while integrating a variety of somatic and energy practices. Our time together will be unapologetically anchored in abundance, spaciousness, rest, fellowship, reflection, humor, and joy.

Our first Pa’lante Pause experiences are explicitly and exclusively designed for leaders who, by virtue of their personal identities, face disproportionate stressors and threats in our current national context.
