A Sacred Pause

Breathe. Ground. Reconnect.

In a world that’s moving fast, A Sacred Pause is a chance to slow down—together.
This is a weekly virtual circle for reflection, embodiment, and connection, co-hosted by Tekla Ayers and Tonja Reichley. Each 30-minute gathering offers space to return to your body, regulate your nervous system, and practice being in authentic community.

Whether you show up with joy or grief, rage or hope, all parts of you are welcome here.

All funds are donated 100% to a rotating community-based cause.

  • Pause from your routine and recenter with gentle practices that support clarity, calm, and connection.

  • Our guided meditations and embodiment tools help release stress and encourage presence.

  • You don’t have to carry it all alone. This space is rooted in collective healing, mutual respect, and compassionate witnessing.

  • Each month, all donations go to a selected individual, organization, or community cause aligned with our collective values. Every breath you take here also breathes life into someone else’s healing journey.
