I am Yaro, co-founder of Pausa. I am building preventive, science-based mental health ecosystem for impact-driven leaders in Lisbon. Pausa is designed to protect clarity and resilience under sustained pressure through a high-trust reset in nature and an ongoing offline cadence.

Built inside the Unicorn Factory Lisbon ecosystem. The program is designed and ready to run; we are now curating the Founding Circle.

Why I am reaching out to you

• You are building in a high-pressure environment where decision quality matters.

• You care about impact and long-term sustainability, not only speed.

• Your perspective can help shape the standards and the experience design for the Founding Circle.

• What steals clarity from founders in Lisbon right now.

• What a “real reset” must include (and what it must avoid).

• What would make this worth protecting time for in a busy season.

What I want to learn from you

What Pausa is

Pausa Core (3 days): 3 days offline in nature with a curated group, designed for nervous system downshift and deep reflection.
Pausa Circle (ongoing): Monthly offline gatherings and a return reset every 3 months to keep habits consistent without overload.

An Open Invitation

If this resonates, I would love to personally invite you to explore Pausa — starting with a conversation.

If now is not the right moment, you are welcome to stay connected through our quiet leadership newsletter — where we share short reflections and science-based practices for modern leaders.
