Monthly Practice Themes
As a community, we also explore an "umbrella" theme each month that provides a common thread for our classes and discussions.
All of our offerings incorporate this theme to help you deepen your mindfulness insights and grow your practice through a specific lens. We provide additional resources along the way, like blog posts and email tips to help you explore further!

Walk Slowly, Poem by Danna Faulds – Read by Rena Satre Meloy
Go to any of Pause's classes, and it will be the best thing you did that day. Pause creates a safe, nurturing, and supportive space to explore the scope of our consciousness and attention and to uncover what/who we are behind the noise of our busy buzzing minds, lives and world. – Kerry S.
I'm new to meditation but this group is very welcoming and it's so nice to take some time to unwind. – Stefan M.
I started meditating with Pause shortly after moving to Portland and could not be happier with the teachers and community. They put so much thought and attention into all of the practices and approach mindfulness from a very practical place. It was refreshing to find a secular program that managed to host such insightful guided practices. – Danielle R.
The meditation style is secular and based on scientific evidence for stress reduction, so anyone who is open to trying and sitting for meditation can get into it. There's no pressure to 'do' meditation in any particular way, e.g. there aren't specific rituals or chanting like some meditation styles. Perfect for a beginner looking to try meditation but also perfect for someone looking to deepen their practice in a group setting. – Grace C.
I always leave here feeling better than I did when I walked in. It’s my little 'reset' button. And it’s totally welcoming, sans hippie stuff (though I don’t mind a little Nag Champa now and then)! Expect awesome people, all coming together to take a collective breather from 'doing mode'. Pause is an essential part of my wellness routine. – Katy K.
As someone just beginning their meditation practice, I appreciate the research backed methods used by the instructors which help me develop my wellness muscles. The impacts of meditation with a live, in person guide and in person co-meditators is, for me, the pinnacle of the practice. – Russ W.
This place is top notch. The owners are incredibly friendly and professional. Warm attitude and grateful for sure. The location is convenient, the room is comfortable, and they personalize your visit. It's a real gem in PDX - I will for sure be back! – Andrew H.
Pause is an incredible, open, inviting, and patient method/group and works with a full range from the "experienced" meditator to the "beginner" looking for an alternative way of relaxing the mind's wanderings. I've been about 25 times now, and never a bad session, and I have always left reflecting on something new the group dynamic brought forth. – Pete F.
