where innovation, rest and belonging, gather.

You are not about to sleep on the need for deep care for your people at this chaotic moment in history.

You are the visionary that brings your family, friends and your workplace into the action of new possibilities.

You understand that you and your team are at a point where pushing through to meet grant and board deliverables is not an option:

you want to make space for the fears coming up about the fast paced terrifying changes in our government.
you yearn to find solutions to the separations of hierarchical structures
everyone feels burnt out
the disconnection at work is starting to concern you
almost every project feels stuck and uninspired
drinking and staff dinners are boring you to death.
you want to offer a retreat that goes deeper than ice-breakers and swag bags
you want to feel connection and belonging at work.

A real pause is needed. You know that our current administration is planting seeds of distraction and separation and you are committed to focusing in on joy, pleasure, imagination and cultural wisdom as a strategy.

Grind culture has removed us from our bodies and our deepest desires of belonging to each other.

It’s scary to leap into something new like pausing, breathing, playing and building real connection with the people around you but the benefits of grounding in these practices now will restore everything that makes life worth living.

What does restoration of humanity look like in work and life?

Work and home space feels electric with belonging
Your movement work is supported by emergent rituals of letting go and celebration
Your movement work is supported by tagging people in and out when rest is needed
You have new and exciting ways to engage yourself and your team and reignite passion and creativity.
Your whole team is doing fun things like taking dance breaks, stretching on the floor and bringing nap blankets to work.
Burn out is a thing of the past because you understand cycles of work and pausing
Your team is vibrant and thriving because everyone is taking great care of their own wellbeing
You have created a refuge space in your office and now people have a place to go when they need to cry or have vulnerable conversations.

Let's Talk Rest As Strategy

BE BOLD

When it comes to your corporate or non-profit workplace you may feel surrounded by a lack of imagination for how to move in new directions. You may even feel resistance and fear around making any bold choices right now.

Here is the thing.

The sooner you make the decision to start aligning with what is most important to you, the more time you will have on this earth to say that you walked in integrity with your values AND your destiny.

I have recently realized that throughout my 42 years I have stayed fully aligned with my destiny because I have never been afraid to take pauses along the way.

I have taken moments of time to go on weekend or week-long retreats. There have been years of my life where
I would meet with a group of artists every month and we would all create together.
There was a moment in my life when I was determined to have some kind of movement practice and I would put on a song and dance or sing until the song was over.
Here I am years later and all have my pauses have manifested into this beautiful business where I am aligned with my deepest purpose to restore humanity through belonging, creativity and rest.

Your workplace can reflect your values. Your life can reflect your deepest purpose. But,

You have to commit to pause.

You have to commit to practice the thing that feels so important to you that if you died today you would regret not focusing on that thing. If you are hear, those important things probably fall in line with:

learning how to hear and be with the people in your life
Learning how to say yes to your own creative impulses
Learning to pause and honor your own life
Taking pleasure in the beauty and the people around you.
becoming emotionally aware

Whether you are a boss deciding whether or not to pause with your team, or you are creating designated spaces in your conference or your office where people have permission to rest, or whether you are an individual who is considering how to weave your own sacred pauses throughout your life…

What are we waiting for?

Rest is resistance. Our Imaginations are a weapon. Our unity is dangerous. Lets make time for the real fight.

Let's Pause Together

TESTIMONIES

"Sojourner, I can't thank you enough for the rest that you helped provide - it was amazing. I have never experienced anything like it in a retreat setting. I WANT MORE!!!"

Terri Johnson, Director of Collective Impact
"Sojourner’s skill as a facilitator is unparalleled—whether guiding us through breathwork practices to regulate our nervous systems, leading creative movement sessions that invite us to reclaim joy and embodiment, or facilitating cultural leadership legacy work that reconnects us to our lineage and ancestral wisdom. Every space they hold is intentional, sacred, and deeply impactful."

Anika Tene, Director of Grants Awards and Programs
“It was so much better than a mediator, not just people complaining but our staff talking about how they wanted to be better people at work and in their personal lives. By Moonlight held a safe space for our collective and individual healing processes. My staff commented that the experience was cathartic. I highly recommend Sojourner!.”

Michele Young, Division Chiropractic and Acupuncture, Owner
“The wellness workshops facilitated by Sojourner were excellent — They did a phenomenal job facilitating and we were impressed with how well these went. Sojourner was attuned to where we are at this time, and provided not just a welcoming and inclusive style but real, tangible tools. We loved how we were guided to get in tune with our bodies and connect with colleagues in a different way. The breathing and movement techniques were great tools to help us refresh and calm ourselves during high-intensity times. It was a necessary and healthy moment for our community to signal to each other that we value care and respect for each other and each other's wellbeing.”

Gabrielle Lyon, Executive Director at Illinois Humanities
