Hello, Pause/Players! We had another year of strong applications for our cohort... which is to say, we see just how many pastors across the country, across denominational affiliations, are experiencing burnout, weariness, and apathy in their preaching lives.

Whew. It's a lot.

We have sent the first 10 invitations to the cohort, and we could have sent many more. The Pause/Play team continues to explore ways to expand outreach so we can offer more clergy the chance to build a community of accountability for rest and play.

And if you did not make it into the cohort this year but still want to attend the gathering, please let us know! Registration is open through June 1!

You all are beloved, creative, and wonderful! Take a micro-pause today, even if it's just a 30-second dance party!

Dr. Chelsea Brooke Yarborough rejoins us as we prepare for our Annual Gathering! 🚨registration deadline June 1🚨 We explore “micro rituals” of pause, attunement to the body as a loving signal rather than a problem, and the costs of living on adrenaline, perfectionism, and “macro” rest that arrives too late.

🚨Early birds!🚨One week left to save $100 on registration for the Annual Gathering!

We promise that this gathering is going to kickstart healthier rhythms of Pause/Play under the guidance of Rev. Dr. Chelsea Yarborough.

You also will make connections with fellow pastors seeking to lead differently, honoring a slower pace, deeper wells, and playful practices. Say YES to this liminal space!
