Pause for Purpose 2025
<EVENT CANCELLED>
Pause for Purpose is a virtual event inviting you to step out of the noise and into a shared moment of stillness on World Meditation Day, December 21st. Through powerful conversations with founders, practitioners, and thought leaders — alongside guided meditations, gentle movement, and intentional pauses — you’ll explore how mindfulness can ground your life, strengthen your leadership, and reconnect you with what truly matters. This is a hop on/hop off event where you're invited to participate throughout the day as it suits you.
Both The Pause and The Purpose are at the heart of this event. 30% of all ticket sales will be donated to Plum Village, the global community founded by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, offering teachings and retreats rooted in the art of mindful living.
Here we have our spaceholders, each one bringing a unique blend of wisdom, lived experience, and heart centered leadership.
