Tuesdays beginning April 7 | 11:30–12:45 In times of chaos and upheaval — and really, anytime — it is a radical act of sanity to take up residence in the present moment. Taking a pause… slowing down… allowing the nervous system a break from constant input… is a powerful form of self-care. The Sacred Pause is a weekly community space to gently practice presence together. Each gathering will include: • simple mindfulness practices • a brief, accessible reflection on topics like – how mindfulness works – common misunderstandings – why it can be hard to stay present • space for quiet connection No experience is needed. Come a little early to grab a drink or some food. Stay for the full time or just drop in for what you can. Cate Wolff is a psychotherapist in Pittsfield, a trauma-sensitive yoga teacher, and a long-time meditation practitioner who first learned mindfulness from Jon Kabat-Zinn. Free and open to all. Goodwill donations welcome for Wander.
