Restorative, high‑touch experiences to help reimagine wholeness as resistance.

Pause,

events by Pa’lante

Pa’lante creates spaces where leaders who carry more than most will ever know can breathe, gather, and reconnect with themselves and one another.

Our Pauses are not typical retreats that prepare you to return to the same grind; they are invitations to imagine a new way of being.

Pause by Pa’lante:
Queer Leaders Edition

Exclusively for leaders who identify as Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and/or LGBTQIA+

November 17-20, 2025 | Alderbrook Resort & Spa, WA

Slow down, breathe deeply, and gather.

Nestled on the shores of Hood Canal, you’ll have space to restore your energy, reflect on your path, and remember the power of leading from wholeness.

Our time together will be structured around the concepts of rest, recovery, and planning for reintegration with our lives back home. We will invite reflection and connection with ourselves, with others, and with nature through guided meditation & visualizations, journaling prompts, firepit s’mores, opening and closing rituals, a free clothing swap for those interested in updating or trying new options in their wardrobe, a guided forest meditation and an opportunity to experience our bodies in shifting temperatures culminating in an optional cold plunge.

Coming soon…
