Pause & Shift: a reflective space for changemakers

Pause & Shift is a calm, facilitated gathering at The Hague Humanity Hub for social entrepreneurs, NGO professionals, purpose-driven founders, and other changemakers working toward positive change.

Inspired by Climate Café principles, this is not a workshop, debate, coaching session, or therapy space. There is no fixing, problem-solving, or pressure to contribute. Instead, we gather to listen, reflect, and share — only if we wish — what is alive for us as changemakers navigating complex times.

This edition is facilitated by Tina Fischbach and Gregg Hone.

Come as you are.
Pause. Shift. Enter the rest of the day - and the weekend - more resourced.

This is

A facilitated listening space inspired by Climate Café principles
A place for honest reflection and shared humanity
A low-threshold invitation to slow down and reconnect
Part of a broader culture of regeneration and care within the changemaker ecosystem

This is not

Therapy or group counselling
A coaching, training, or skill-building session
A problem-solving, debating, or action-planning space
A commitment-based group — attendance is entirely flexible
