Pause Foundation
Pause Retreats
“Where stillness becomes ceremony, and presence becomes power.”
A Sacred Space For Renewal
There comes a time in life when everything catches up with us.
A loved one departs. We lose ourselves in caregiving, heartbreak, or burnout. Our mental health begins to crumble.
What happens to a garden left untended for years? ...
Pause is the tending. The watering. The quiet return to life.
Pause Retreats are immersive, holistic experiences that restore well-being from the inside out.
Held on ancestral land where healing is remembered, not rushed, each retreat offers ceremony, reflection, and reconnection.

Why
Pause Retreats Exists
Pause Retreats was created by a suicide loss survivor for those standing at the edge of change: for the ones grieving, unraveling, awakening, or simply needing to breathe. We honor the seasons of endings, the weight of mental health struggles, and the quiet ache of transformation. Whether you are navigating loss, burnout, identity shifts, or the silent battles of the mind, Pause Retreats offers a holistic experience that naturally boosts well-being.
Our retreats are not escapes, they are intentional spaces that help people move toward healing, reconnect and rise.
At Pause we believe that giving is receiving. That’s why every retreat is designed not only to support those who attend, but also to give back to the communities and lands that host us. We partner with Indigenous leaders, local healers, and wellness professionals to ensure that reciprocity is woven into every offering.
Pause Retreats are rooted in ceremony, healing, and care.
It is a place where mental health is honored, grief is not rushed, and transformation unfolds in its own sacred rhythm.
