Christine Arylo & Katherine Torrini
co-creators of The Team Power Pause Cyclical Planning & Wellbeing System
ONE: Fall Power Pause Guidebook: Personal Leadership Edition
A hand-crafted, illustrated guidebook that walks you through the 3-step Fall Power Pause.
Includes: visual thinking templates, intentional inquiries, step-by-step instructions and space to write in the guidebook (print single sided for more space or double sided is okay too) or use your own paper/journal to write in.
The act of handwriting and visual thinking activates the creative and intuitive parts of our brains and intelligence, and makes links for us that the mental and intellect can’t access on their own.
TWO: Live Reflect & Refocus Session Facilitated by Christine & Katherine
RETREAT SPACE CREATED BY US FOR YOU (Optional and Delightful!)
Sometimes it’s just better to have someone walk you through an experience, share context and examples, provide creative inspiration, and lead you through step by step (so you can just relax and enjoy the process.)
We’ll create and facilitate this space on Friday, September 19th at 11:30am ET – we’ve been facilitating using zoom for over a decade, so we know how to set a field of “co-creative space”, where you get to both be in your own energy field and be part of a collective field. Come however you like in whatever way feels like a retreat for you vs. another zoom meeting you have to go to. And Yes, we will record it.
TIME: Friday, September 19th at 8:30am PT| 9:30am MT| 10:30 am CT| 11:30 am ET | 5:30 pm CEST (90-minutes).
We recommend giving yourself 90 minutes or 2 hours to create spaciousness at the end.

FOUR: Recent Podcasts with Christine – to get primed for the Power Pause (optional and yummy!)
ONE: Reflecting & Honoring What Your Energy + Care has created this year already
Christine will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being:
- How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest)
- That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch – so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained.
- You are supported & sustained in so many ways – but you have to soak it in to believe it.
TWO: On Focusing Your Energy : Playing Your Part: with Inquiries + Perspectives To Gain Clarity on Your Part & Path Ahead
Here is a recent podcast – Playing Our Part on the Planet Now – you can tune into before or after the power pause with Christine that leads you through inquiries and perspectives to gain clarity on your next phase. This is part of the Next Phase on Purpose series and includes:
- Context: For where we are in human evolution and our part in it
- Somatic Meditation: As one instrument in a bigger web, what is your part to play now and in this next phase? Knowing others are also playing their part, so you don’t have to.
- Storyelling Mythic Time: the uncommon but oh so relevant myth of the Holy Grail
- Make it Personal & Practical with 3 Wisdom Inquiries: Go deeper and get to the root of what is your part and not your part in the next cycle
- Compass to Stay Focused On Your Part Forward: so you can stay orientated and focused in the coming months and years on your part for this next phase on the planet.

Power Pauses are visually facilitated, cyclical planning sessions that provide a more creative and collaborative process to prioritizing, focusing, setting expectations and making progress on goals based on how humans and teams naturally work best. These strategic sessions usually happen at quarterly or twice-yearly intervals and work great for teams or for leader/managers, and include:
- The Year-Start or Year-End Power Pause: Creating From Momentum – occurs in mid-late January for teams, giving teams a place to land post-holiday, or in early December to create a path for downshifting. The focus is on reflecting on the team successes, shorts, and impact, and create a path and focused priorities to sustainable success and wellbeing in the next year, from the wisdom gained and lessons learned.
- The Team Prioritizing & Synergy Power Pause – occurs at the start of the business calendar year or in March or September for teams to get clear on how best to focus, prioritize and work together for a specific time span – year, half year, or quarter. Can include workshops focused on working wiser vs. harder, stress personalities & wellbeing strategies, and creating greater synergy & connection among team members.
- The Mid-Year Power Pause: Review. Re-align. Refocus. – occurs in July/August for teams or managers & leaders to pause at half-year, review goals & priorities, and re-set focus for the second half of year.
This whole-brain approach, centered around sustainable success for individuals, teams, and organizations, alleviates burnout and overwhelm, reduces fragmentation of resources and unnecessary work, and leads to an overall greater impact to business success and employee wellbeing. Individuals and teams become more innovative, flexible and resilient, and people feel more engaged, connected and empowered.
The Power Pause methodology is a propriety system that can be customized and licensed for teams and organizations through the Expanding Possibility Consulting Group. We love working with teams, training leaders & managers, and creating experiences for people that support both individual & organizational wellbeing and success. We ask that these materials and processes are not reproduced or shared. Thank you.
