Pause for Purpose 2025

​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.

​Now is the time to choose stillness with intention. Reserve your spot and join a global movement grounded in awareness, connection, and meaningful impact — buy your ticket today.

​This gathering is brought to life by The Mindfulness App, a leading global platform offering guided meditations, courses, and tools for sustaining a daily mindfulness practice; The Gilbert Collaborative, founded by JaKenna Gilbert and dedicated to working with individuals and teams to cultivate grounded self-awareness, empathetic leadership, and intentional living; and QuietSpace, founded by Maria Therese Jessen-Petersen to bring intentionally designed QuietSpace rooms into corporations, to help support and sustain individual and collective human well-being practices at work, such as meditation. 

​Together, these partners create a space where your presence alone contributes to the collective calm.

​The greatest gift we can give each other is our presence and we hope you will share yours with us this holiday season - the busiest season of them all.

​The agenda will be shared in the coming weeks.

​We look forward to welcoming you to Pause for Purpose on December 21st.
