Why Attend?
This is your moment to pause — to step away from the demands of life and reconnect with what matters most. To center and ground yourself before the busy holiday season explodes. Whether you’re seeking restoration, inspiration, or simply a space to breathe, The Perfect Pause offers a nurturing container to support your well-being.
Come as you are. Leave grounded, clear, and ready to move into the season ahead with presence and purpose.
Snacks and tea will be provided throughout and everybody will leave with a “swag” bag chock full of goodies to help you continue the momentum of the day. All activities will take place in the space of the Carriage Barn Arts Center- a warm and welcoming, light-filled structure with art-covered walls; and in spectacular Waveny Park, right outside the Carriage Barn doors.
