๐ฟ Day of Pause | An Invitation to Step Away and Reconnect
In the midst of busy professional, personal and ministry lives, it can be easy to keep moving without taking time to pause and notice what is happening within us.
Sometimes, we simply need to step away.
On Friday 16 October, Heart of Life invites you to a Day of Pause โ a quiet opportunity to slow down, rest and reconnect with yourself and the gentle presence of God.
Facilitated by Kathleen Ward, the day offers space for silent seated meditation, walking meditation, time in nature, reflection and simply resting in stillness. There is no expectation to achieve or produce anything. Instead, the invitation is to be present, listen more deeply and allow space for whatever may emerge.
A day like this can be valuable not only when we are feeling overwhelmed, but as a regular practice of renewal and attentiveness โ creating space to reflect on how we are living, working and accompanying others.
โจ When did you last give yourself permission to pause?
