2025 August – A Strategic Pause: The Wisdom of Rest in Complex Times

Strategy • Wisdom • Action 

As we find ourselves in the heart of summer, we pause—not in retreat, but in strategic recalibration. What if the most powerful thing you could do right now is intentionally step into pause? In these times of accelerating tension and complexity, strategic pause becomes a courageous act of leadership.

This newsletter honors the energy that emerged from Wisdom Dialogue Day 2025, shares insights on pause as strategic choice, and offers a special gift for your continued journey of integration.

In this newsletter:

  • Strategic Pause as courageous leadership in complex times

  • Wisdom Dialogue Day 2025 reflections and Ervin Laszlo’s reflective video message

  • Special offering: The Mystic Path conversation with Peter Dewey & Sarida Brown

  • Preparing for autumn’s creative reactivation

 

Strategic Pause: Leadership in Liminal Space

In our July Wisdom Dialogue Circle, we explored pause as a strategic choice and a courageous act in complex times. As AtmanWay founder Paolo Morley-Fletcher shared, pause becomes a “recalibration to find Peace” and “an act of leadership, an act of courage for us and the World.”

Pause creates “a liminal Space that holds the capacity for creating new possibilities”—the bridge allowing us to “choose ultimately to respond from Love rather than react from fear.”

In alignment with this teaching, we’re embracing strategic pause ourselves: there will be no Wisdom Dialogue Circle in August. We resume our monthly practice in September, returning with renewed clarity and purpose.

Below is a selection of quotes from several Wisdom Speakers who participated in last month’s WDC. You can view the complete gallery on our LinkedIn page.

Wisdom Dialogue Day 2025: Breathing Together

June’s Wisdom Dialogue Day demonstrated the power of collective pause—24 hours of intentional gathering that sparked global connection around the theme of  “Air: Elevating Peace”:

Highlights included:

  • 65+ speakers, 750 participants across 24 hours
  • 850 hours of video engagement
  • Live scribing, music, Listening & Sensing Circles, and your voices.
  • Co-created Ara Pacis – Altar of Peace (you can still add your contributions here)

In the days leading up to the live event, we received this reflection from renowned systems philosopher Ervin Laszlo – framing the deeper meaning of our work, and elaborating on how we are all interconnected through our relationship to the element of Air – through our breath:

“We are what we breathe. When we breathe harmoniously, we create community, we create oneness. Wisdom is what we need to survive and thrive on the planet.” — Ervin Laszlo

Special Offering: The Mystic Path

As we embrace the wisdom of strategic pause, we invite you deeper into contemplation with a profound three-part conversation between Sarida Brown and Anglican priest Peter Dewey, exploring timeless mystic wisdom.

Watch Part 1: The Mystic Path: Ego, Oneness, and the Eternal Source

Watch Part 1

Drawing from Christian mysticism, Sufi practice, and Eastern philosophy, this dialogue explores:

  • Understanding and loving the ego while aligning with true self
  • The shared mystical heart across religions
  • Death as passage into deeper divine unity
  • Service needed for humanity’s awakening

Perfect for those integrating spiritual practice with professional purpose.

Preparing for Reactivation

This August pause offers fertile ground for integration. As we integrate the seeds planted during Wisdom Dialogue Day, we prepare for the creative surge that autumn will bring. Rest and rejuvenation are acts of leadership. Strategic pause is how we access the deeper intelligence needed for the challenges ahead.

We return in September with renewed opportunities to integrate Strategy, Wisdom, and Action. Until then, we’re exploring the practice of breathing Space into our system – letting new clarity emerge.

Resting into Stillness,

Paolo & The AtmanWay Team
