YouTube Live: Monday, November 2, 9, 16, 23 | 12 PM CT / 10AM PT

Come as you are. Take 45 minutes to pause.

For many of us, the middle of the day rarely feels like a place to stop. We move from one task to the next, carrying the news, our responsibilities, our relationships, and whatever else the day has already handed us. Sometimes we need someone to remind us that we can take a breath.

This November, join Christians for Social Action and Nia Campinha-Bacote every Monday for Take a Breath: A Daily Pause, a four-week live series designed to create a little room in the middle of your day for rest, reflection, and grounding.

These 45-minute gatherings aren't another webinar to watch or another thing to accomplish. You can join while you're eating lunch, taking a walk, sitting outside, resting, or opening a journal. Listen quietly or participate in the chat. There is no preparation and no pressure to show up a certain way. Come as you are.

Each week, Nia will guide us through simple practices of breathing and centering, reflection around themes of healing, rest, and presence in the midst of difficult things, and time to simply notice what we're carrying. We'll close with a benediction and return to our days—not necessarily with everything resolved, but perhaps a little more grounded for whatever comes next.

Why Take a Breath?

Rest can be difficult to practice in a world that continually asks for our attention, reaction, and energy. And for people committed to justice, compassion, and caring for our communities, it can be especially easy to keep going without noticing what that pace is doing to us.

Take a Breath is an invitation to practice another way.

Not escape. Not disengagement. Just 45 minutes to breathe, pay attention, and make room for the kind of inner life that can sustain us in our work, relationships, communities, and faith.

Mondays in November. Forty-five minutes. Come as you are.
