CitC | CALLING | Participants in The Calm Collective | weekly from Sunday 26 September-Sunday 19 December 2021 | 9-9.15pm

[Edited extract from public address]

Launching a special initiative called The Calm Collective - a collaborative network to bring together committed meditators, faith leaders and well-wishers from all backgrounds and walks of life.

“The world is a projection of our collective consciousness. If our collective consciousness reaches that place of peace, harmony, laughter and love, it will be a different world.” – Deepak Chopra
The aim is to establish a collective, silent intentional space that gathers the power of presence for 10 minutes. These focused spaces are designed to generate atmospheres of calm, healing and hope.

Gathering from 9-9.15pm, each Sunday evening to support Australia and our planet during some difficult times ahead.

The holding of these weekly spaces will be accompanied by a couple minutes of inspirations and reflections by a long-term faith and/or meditation practitioner.

The first week, we are so pleased to have long term meditator and Head Coach of the Australian Men's Cricket Team - Justin Langer. Then, in the following week, we will have the lovely Dr Tami Roos sharing a couple of minutes of inspirational reflections before our 10 minutes of holding a silent intentional space.

The host of the series will be Caroline Ward who some of you will also know from The Optimist Heart series that she hosted last year (as well as the UN Peace Day event this week).
"You, me, us, all - holding the light - together" – The Calm Collective
 

Join The Calm Collective

We warmly welcome any individuals (meditators or not) who feel inspired to join The Calm Collective and become part of a growing number of people dedicated to using the power of meditation, prayer and pure intentional thoughts to serve and uplift our world in these most challenging times.

By becoming a member, going forward, you will be invited to hold these silent intentional spaces with The Calm Collective community. Whilst you may not be able to always attend online, nevertheless, your individual presence or ‘tuning in’ is valuable and contributes to the power of the gathering.

More about The Calm Collective

The Calm Collective recognises the silent transformative power of meditation, prayer and pure intent. The hope is that, no matter what background we come from, in moving forward, we unite and are one in our intentions of peace, upliftment, hope and compassion – and that these specific intentions and feelings held collectively have the ability to create powerful waves of positive influence throughout Australia and across our world.

The Calm Collective is an initiative of Calm in the City in collaboration with the Faith Communities Council of Victoria (the peak body of faith communities in Victoria) and the Meditation Association of Australia (the peak body of meditation teachers in Australia).

Calm in the City is a not-for-profit venture supported by Brahma Kumaris Australia which listens and engages with the city communities to bring calm into the heart of the city. 

Please contact us if you would like to add your name to the list of supporting organisations. Your support is so welcome.
