Our inner work is amplified when we practice together as part of a highly coherent group field. We discover higher forms of collective wisdom when we pool our consciousness together. The group field can be developed and refined in a way that it becomes a new entity in its own right, and an incredibly potent vehicle for both personal and collective transformation. The next Buddha may be the sangha according to Thich Nhat Hanh.

You will discover in this session.

• The evolutionary significance of moving beyond individual practice to collective practice
• A new process to develop the subtle body of a group
• How to use the group field to support your personal healing journey
• How to use the group field to support healing in society — in other words, how to engage in “subtle activism”

You will also participate in a guided meditation to build our group heart, and in a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice to access the power of love to support your highest intention for what you want to see emerge from the course.

How do we develop the collective spiritual intelligence of a group? What are the essential elements for wisdom to arise? How do we keep our individuality while building coherent group consciousness?

You will discover in this session.

• The 3 keys to building collective intelligence in groups
• Why diversity is necessary to maximize the collective intelligence of the group
• How the group field can support you to be your unique self

You will also participate in a guided meditation to co-create our group mind, and in a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice to harness our group compassion for healing a personal issue.

Collective transformation can be achieved through the use of consciousness-based practices. The WiseUSA project brought thousands of people together in meditation and prayer to call for wisdom and compassion from the U.S. electorate in the 2008 and 2012 elections and again this year. There is a bridge between inner and outer transformation. The power of love can be harnessed to change the world.

As a group, we can amplify our spiritual capacities to heal the whole. Deep patterns of collective thought reside in the collective unconscious. An organic process of social change can be initiated by our collective focused intention.

You will explore during this session.

• Fascinating historical instances in which focused group intention led to social and political change
• Empirical evidence for the social impact of large meditation groups on entire cities and nations
• The relationship between subtle activism and direct action

You will also take part in a guided meditation to help build our group will, and in a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice to apply our collective joy for personal and collective uplifting.

Our spiritual practice is extended into the collective realm. New questions about how to engage in these activites ethically and safely can be raised by opening these broader social fields. How should we approach our activism? What is the best orientation to take? How can we integrate our engagement on collective levels into our spiritual lives?

You will discover in this session.

• The ethics of engaging with subtle dimensions for collective upliftment
• How to participate safely in the practice of subtle activism
• The principle of non-attachment to outcome
• The principle of humility: owning the dark places inside ourselves
• The importance of engaging from wholeness

On this International Day of Peace, you will participate in a guided meditation to connect our group heart, mind and will centers, and to apply our group field for personal and planetary peace.

How do group fields work? How do our spiritual activities affect each other? How could our group work affect modern societies with their enormous size and complexity? Our regular perception of the world as a collection of seemingly separate material objects and to the materialistic assumptions of orthodox science is at odds with the notions of group fields and subtle activism. Science has come to recognize the complex connection between consciousness and the world, as well as the profound interrelatedness of all things at more basic levels of reality. Various leading-edge theories have been developed to explain the nonlocal nature of consciousness.

You will discover during this session.

• The significance of biochemist Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphogenetic fields and Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious
• The fascinating psychedelic research of Christopher Bache, including his theory of how individuals in non-ordinary states can bring healing to the human mind
• The theory behind the Maharishi Effect research
• Dion Fortune’s esoteric theory of magical activism

You will also participate in a guided meditation to help purify our group will center, and in a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice to harness our group will for personal and collective transformation.

We have reached a point in the human and planetary story. There are seeds around us that are related to the threat of the global ecological crisis and the potential collapse of current socio-economic systems. How can we nurture planetary awareness? The process of planetization might be helped by working with group fields and practicing subtle activism.

You will explore in this session.

• The Noosphere: Teilhard de Chardin’s extraordinary vision
• The Integral Earth Community: David Berry’s notion of our transition to the Ecozoic Era
• The Reenchantment of the Cosmos: could humanity be poised to re-awaken to the spiritual intelligence of the universe?
• How the practice of global meditation can serve as a collective initiation into planetary consciousness
• Why chaos theory suggests that a profound collective shift could happen far more quickly than we think

A guided meditation and a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice will help purify our group heart.

According to The Club of Budapest President,tle activism is an idea whose time has come. A movement is emerging worldwide to harness the power of our collective consciousness in service of a global shift. The movement is young and open to new ways of engaging with it. Do you feel the call? How might you take the next steps in your activism?

You will discover in our final session.

• How to create your own subtle activism circle
• How to get involved in the WiseUSA campaign to uplift the hearts and minds of the American people in the 2016 election cycle
• How you can participate on a regular basis in ongoing forms of subtle activism practice

In addition, you will take part in a guided meditation to purify our group mind, and in a Gaiafield Group Synergy practice to unleash the power of celebration to recognize our group spiritual achievement.
