The Sacred Pause is a thoughtfully curated experience designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate a sustainable practice of reflection.

Join us at the Day Retreat
January 23rd, 2027 from 9am-4pm
Your journey begins with an immersive day retreat where you'll step away from the busyness of everyday life and create space for reflection, renewal, and inspiration. Through guided journaling, gentle movement, mindfulness practices, creative expression, and meaningful conversation, you'll establish the foundation for the 100-day journey ahead.
During the retreat, you'll:
Learn a simple and sustainable journaling practice.
Explore the power of intentional reflection.
Participate in guided mindfulness and gentle movement.
Engage in a creative art activity to deepen self-expression.
Set meaningful intentions for the next 100 days.
Connect with a supportive community of fellow participants.
Continue with the 100-Day Journey
Following the retreat, you'll receive access to a Video on Demand learning platform featuring one short guided session for each day of the challenge. Each video is designed to take just five to ten minutes, making it easy to build a consistent daily practice.
Every day's experience includes:
A brief guided reflection.
A thoughtful journaling prompt.
A simple mindfulness or wellness practice.
A small action to integrate the day's insight into everyday life.
By the end of the 100 days, you'll have more than a completed journal. You'll have created a meaningful habit of presence, curiosity, and intentional living.
Meet Your Guide, Angie Finch
Angie, owner of Living Simply Well, will guide you through the intentional Day Retreat filled with reflection, connection, and renewal, while continuing to provide support and encouragement in the accompanying 100-Day Guided Journal Journey.
Angie is deeply passionate about helping people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and create more intentional rhythms in their everyday lives. Through her work, she brings together a love for wellness, mindfulness, nervous system care, emotional healing, and genuine human connection. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and centered around the belief that meaningful change doesn't always come from doing more. Sometimes, it begins by simply allowing ourselves to pause.
She is so excited to invite you into this journey!
A Practice That Stays With You
Whether you are seeking greater clarity, personal growth, or simply a reason to slow down, The Sacred Pause offers a gentle rhythm of reflection that can transform the way you experience your days.
By the end of 100 days, you'll have more than a completed journal—you'll have cultivated a meaningful habit of presence, curiosity, and intentional living that can continue long after the final page is written.
The Sacred Pause is an invitation to pause, reflect, create, and rediscover the wisdom that already lives within you.
