The Take a Breath Residency (TAB) is a project of The Action Lab (TAL) that creates vital space for rest, reflection, and respite. TAB supports organizers, movement leaders, artists, healers, and community leaders in cultivating individual and collective wellbeing.
Residencies offer participants the opportunity to step away from the demands of their work, rest, reflect, and develop practices that nourish and strengthen their efforts to imagine and create a more just and equitable future.
The residency takes place at our rustic retreat center in Ossining, NY and is intentionally self-guided, giving each participant the freedom to design their experience around their own needs and intentions. Participants are supported by a daily rhythm that includes nourishing meals, movement, and mindfulness activities, while leaving plenty of spaciousness for rest, reflection, awareness, peace, or whatever personal goals they bring with them.
Rest is the anchor. Your time at Take a Breath is entirely yours. We invite you to apply with that in mind.
The Take a Breath Residency is free of charge to all selected participants.
