Building a Culture of Peace

Earthmind Center

Using the power of coherent consciousness to co-create the peaceful, sustainable civilization we envision.

The Earthmind Center is a central calendar and collaboration nexus for the monthly Earthdance Global Meditations as well as various group meditation and prayer events organized by other groups including the Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism at the California Institute of Integral Studies and the Club of Budapest.

Round the Clock Peace

Daily Peace Meditations

Each day the Earthdance Peace Watch sets two times for our shared peace meditation, indicated by the violet dot. It automatically adjusts for time zones so everyone around the world is meditating at the same time. The times are shifting forward one hour each day.

Monthly Global Meditations

Each month we have a Global Peace Meditation on a different theme, hosted by a different Earthdance Producer, with a live program from their location beamed out on the Earthdance Network. See the EARTHMIND EVENT CALENDAR below for the monthly event times and other group meditation event listings.

Annual Prayer for Peace

Since 1996, the annual Prayer for Peace has united hundreds of Earthdance events around the world – and a growing online community – in a shared moment of global intention and group prayer at 12 midnight GMT. The 2009 date is September 26. See the Earthdance International site for complete information. See the Earthdance International site for complete information.

Realtime read-out of the noosphere – measuring human interaction with the planetary quantum field.

About the Earthmind Meter

Earthdance, in partnership with the Global Consciousness Project, has developed the Earthmind Meter, a realtime indicator of the state of the subtle information field of our planet. For over 10 years the GCP, under the direction of Roger Nelson at Princeton University, has been analyzing data that appears to show coherence in what should normally be completely random number streams, during the exact periods when thousands of human minds are aligned in a state of coherence. This live read-out of the GCP random-number datastream typically indicates a “Neutral” state of the field, with occasional short duration swings toward "Internal" or "External" coherence. More lengthy phases of coherence can often be attributed to events in the world that cause a massive entrainment of human consciousness.

NEUTRAL (green) = Normal random flux in live datastream of random numbers from output devices in over 60 locations around the world aggregated via the Internet on servers in Princeton, N.J.

INTERNAL (blue) = Thousands of human minds are entrained by synchronous, inner-directed intention or feeling. Examples: Global Peace Day World Meditation, May 20, 2007 with 278,000 people in over 50 countries; Earthdance Prayer for Peace/Global OM, September 15, 2007 with 100,000 people in over 50 countries.

EXTERNAL (red) = Thousands of human minds are entrained by a synchronous outside influence, usually transmitted via mass media. Examples: September 11, 2001 attacks; the election of Barack Obama.

About the Global Consciousness Project

The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) is an international collaboration of researchers interested in the frontiers of consciousness research. We record a time series of parallel data sequences from a network of physical random sources with a wide geographic distribution. The resulting database can be assessed for correlations with physical and social variables. We ask whether major world events that engage the attention of large numbers of people correspond to anomalous structure in the data, and whether these correlations can be interpreted as effects of an operationally defined global consciousness. We ask as well about possible links with geophysical or cosmic variables and with social measures such as stock market fluctuations, polling data, or variations of news intensity.

The network has nodes at about 60 sites, from Alaska to Fiji, hosting devices that generate random data continuously and send it for archiving to a dedicated server in Princeton, New Jersey. Analysis determines whether the nominally random data may contain periods of structure coinciding with major events in the world. According to standard physical theory, there should be no structure at all in these random data. Yet, we find that many of the global events we examine are associated with striking patterns (statistical aberrations) in the data. Special times like the celebrations of New Years, great natural disasters, and tragic events like the attacks on September 11, 2001, tend to show changes. They are correlated with the periods of shared deep engagement or widespread emotional reaction.

The results for a series of some 270 formal tests during 10 years of continuous running indicate small but significant anomalous effects. Rigorous analysis shows trends and patterns in data that should be random, and the patterns are related to events of importance to humans, including both disasters and celebrations. We believe the GCP data and analyses provide clear evidence for meaningful interactions of consciousness with the physical world. The work continues, with a number of technical and philosophical inquiries that may yield insights for physics and information theory, as well as in social and psychological domains.

About the Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism

The Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism (GCSA) is an action research center and networking hub based at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, USA to advance the study and practice of subtle activism. Subtle Activism is an activity of consciousness or spirit, such as prayer, meditation, or ecstatic dance, intended to support collective healing and social change.

The GCSA is the home of the Gaiafield Project, a sustainable program of subtle activism initiatives developed collaboratively by leaders in the field. The GCSA aims to connect people around the world through love, compassion, and awakened consciousness to support collective healing and positive social change.
