Are you tired of the self-inflicted chaos of our time?
It has been said that freedom means freedom to awaken and know who you really are, not the illusion of “I can do whatever I want,” and “Nobody can tell me what to do.”
To think that you can do whatever you want whenever you want to do it, is the height of irresponsibility, personally, socially and globally. It is immaturity and social regression when nothing else is considered.
The good news is, it is time to focus on working together for solutions, as The Global Coherence Initiative is doing in association with HeartMath.org at an in-person, 4-Day Retreat April 30-May 3, 2026 in Santa Cruz, CA.
The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based initiative uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from inability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.
Humanity will always reap the seeds it plants. Whatever you focus on grows. Here is a beautiful opportunity to change the focus from dysfunction to functioning healthy and wholesome opportunity with a positive global outreach.

This project has been launched by the Institute of HeartMath, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), a recognized global leader in researching emotional psychology, heart-brain interactions, and the psychology of optimal health and performance.
The Global Conference Initiative is designed to help individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.
Together they will:
- Increase personal coherence for the benefit of everyone and including the planet
- Help shift the planetary consciousness baseline from self-centeredness to wholeness care
- Increase connection and social harmony
- Empower the ability to navigate through global changes eith less stress and more ease
- Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet
This project has been initiated because millions of people sense that this is an extraordinary time: that a paradigm shift of human consciousness is now under way; that all humanity is at the crossroads of change and must move toward the healing of ourselves and the planet.
Many people are feeling a strong desire to help change our present and future conditions and are looking for ways to use their heart, spirit-aligned wisdom and care to make a meaningful difference.
The Global Coherence Initiative is one of many care and compassion initiatives taking place on the planet. Each year, an increasing number of groups and online communities are radiating compassion and care to the planet in these times of need. This group and others feel that these collective heart-based initiatives, rather than being a trend, represent the proactive consciousness platform of the future, in which individuals and communities take responsibility for shaping a new world by increasing love, care and compassion for the global whole.
HEART COHERENCE
Many people recognize that their meditations, prayers, affirmations, and intentions can and do affect the world. Researchers suggest that these activities can have even more transformative and lasting impact by adding heart coherence to the process.
Heart coherence is a distinct mode of synchronized psycho-physical functioning associated with sustained positive emotion. It is a state of energetic alignment and cooperation between heart, mind, body and spirit. In coherence, energy is accumulated, not wasted, leaving you more energy to manifest intention and harmonious outcomes.
Adding heart coherence to meditation, prayer and intention practices is an important aspect of the Global Coherence Initiative. It adds order and increased effectiveness to whatever form of practice you are doing.
The Global Coherence Initiative offers education and technology on how to increase individual heart coherence. As groups of people in the Global Coherence community intentionally send coherent love and care to the world, a more powerful heart-filled environment is crated. This reservoir can then be utilized to help bring balance and stabilization to people, thereby making it easier to find solutions to problems like climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, poverty, war, hunger and other global issues. In addition, by sending coherent heart energy to the planet, you benefit personally. Practicing coherence has a carryover effect that helps to cushion you through stressors and challenges that occur day to day.
EARTH MONITORING
The Global Coherence Initiative will include an important scientific measurement component. Advances sensing technology, now being developed at the Institute of HeartMath, will allow them to observe changes in the earth’s magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the earth’s field is affected by mass human emotion, positive or negative. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) https://www.heartmath.org/gci/gcms/ will consist of approximately 12 sensors strategically located around the world. This system will enable a new level of scientific inquiry into the relationship between the earth’s magnetic field, collective human emotions and behaviors, and planetary changes.
The GCMS will allow them to test the hypotheses that:
- Strong collective human emotions are influenced in the earth’s field.
- Groups of people in heart coherence can affect the earth’s field.
- Changes in the earth’s field predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events, in order to give people advance warning.
(In the event that you cannot attend this life-changing conference, you can still contribute to the effort, not with money, but with your sustained goodwill, personal daily meditations and intentions for empathy, compassion, peace, and genuine love. These are all aspects of the one tenant help within all major religions of the world, which is, “Do to others as you would have done to you.” It is as simple as that.) addition by Linda Hourihan, Holistic Health Counselor Practitioner (HHCP)
The long-term goal of The Global Coherence Initiative is to correlate the following: coherence-level data collected from GCI community with changes in the earth’s magnetic field, along with changes in various social, environment and health outcomes.
“The Global Coherence Initiative is perhaps the greatest experiment in the history of the world,” said Jack Canfield, Co-Creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® Series, Co-author of The Success Principles™ , and the founder of the Transformational leadership Council.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
This website, https://www.heartmath.org/gci, will be the focal point for the GCI community. Here members will receive updates, instruction, audio and video communications and downloadable Webinars. To connect with others about CGI try GCI Facebook, GCI Twitter, or GCI You Tube. They invite you to explore the other sections of the site to learn more about how you can participate, resources for increasing heart coherences, and their supporters, Advisory Board and Collaborations.
