Here’s a sneak peak into our previous Open Mic!

We at Pause for Perspective hold monthly open mics where everyone, including our team, is welcome to share their art, stories and poems in a safe space.

This time, we centred voices of people with lived experiences of mental health struggles.

Captions for the clips of participants sharing their pieces:
Clip 1: I don’t know what people mean by success. They cite money isn’t wealth in their bank account. I don’t know what people mean…

Clip 2: Here I make mistakes, I’m a mess, I can be a wreck. Unseen, unnoticed…

*Workshop Alert* hybrid mode: online and in person

*Workshop Alert* hybrid mode: online and in person at Hyderabad

Stepping into our hearts: A gentle creative exploration into emotional awareness by connecting with the earth & its healing potential.

We have been taught to hide or suppress our emotions, temporarily it seems to help to function in a world that is driven by agenda’s of capitalistic productivity. But soon we notice fatigue, we notice that our bodies are exhausted, overwhelmed and feeling the pain of everything around us. Our emotions never go away.

The way this hiding of our emotions shows for example, is in how we train to control our anger or not display anger even when we feel it, for fear of ruining relationships. When we are sad or depressed we put up a smiling face because we have learnt that we should never present a droopy face to others. Similarly we are masters in hiding our shame and guilt. We also learn not to worry as it causes stress and to be courageous and never fear or let fear pull you down. We struggle with emotions throughout our lives and go through roller-coaster experiences with our relationships both personal and professional. We can release ourselves from all these by diving deep within and seeking to have emotional awareness rather than patchwork solutions while staying stuck in our heads and fearing to step into our hearts

Each emotion has a purpose for being present in our energy field. There is no such thing as negative or positive emotions and some emotions bring about negative outcomes for us only because of the way we have been socialised to keep them at bay. In this workshop we will come to see how each emotion is meant to take us towards our life goals and that each emotion is just a milestone along our life journey and each emotion can take us to a place of gratitude and joy within ourselves.

When: 13th November 2022
Timing: 10am to 12:30pm
Fee: Rs 1500/- Group discount available. (Rs 1000 per person for a group of two or more)

We’ve created a unique series called Reflections from Lived Experience, and published two new articles in this series. Make sure to read the full articles, links are in our bio.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below 👇

Image Description:
Image 1 - Image contains white box with text on yellow background, with rainbow border. Text in white box reads “Pause for Perspective, blog. Reflections from lived experience, a series. We have created a series of articles on our blog where we offer folks a space to sit with experiences of the systems. This series allows us to wonder and helps us deepen our intentional meanderings to access cracks in these systems. Read More. Links in bio.”

Image 2 - Image contains 3D graphic of the text “New”. Image contains two white boxes with text on yellow background, with rainbow border. Text in box 1 reads “A productive effort against productivity. We know not why the world works the way it does, we know not who we carry these bricks for, we know not why is there is no comfort in solitude, we know not if there is a meaning to the meaning of life. And yet unaware of philosophy and purpose our lives share a singular purpose, the pursuit of productivity…By Shivendra Singh”. Text in box 2 reads “Written up as Lady Macbeth. I recently read the report for my MCMI assessment, and it gave me the distinct sensation of receiving an eerily accurate palm reading. Written in suspiciously broad terms, it used a lot of dramatic language (Treacherous! Manipulative! Tearful!) that reminded me of nothing less than Shakespeare’s most famous femme fatale…By Nakshatra”

We're back with this month's Movie Night! 🎥🍿

The winter months can be quite gloomy and lonely. So, we at Pause decided that once a month we’ll gather and watch a film together. There will be a cozy atmosphere, sense of community, and a special snack menu at our cafe! Join us and experience the warmth for yourself.

Swipe to see a sneak peek of the wonderful Movie Night we had last month 🤗

This month’s film is Toc Toc, a light-hearted Spanish film about a group of people with Obsessive-compulsive disorder who navigate each others experiences, as they wait for their flight-delayed doctor to arrive for their appointments.

Registration cost is Rs. 100/-. All proceeds from this event will go to our donation fund, which we use to provide free therapy to those who cannot afford therapy. DM us to register.
