SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 2024​

The Future Of Humanity
Is In Our Hands

NOW'S OUR CHANCE
TO BUILD THE FOUNDATIONS OF A
SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL ECO-CIVILIZATION

There may never be a better opportunity to transform our individual and collective selves into an integrated sustainable global ecosystem which could be called a Gaiaself, a new collective transpersonal ecological identity that must ultimately draw upon the wisdom embodied in the noosphere, the simultaneously emergent world brain.

This is the new frontier of consciousness, science, technology and biosphere that we must now learn to navigate and master.

Comment from a Sydney business leader:

” This summit is exciting with world leading authors. It’s some of the leading thought pioneers for new thought leadership in this new millennium. There has never been a new thought Summit like this developed in Australia before. We are seeing actually history in the making! 

– P.S. Sydney, AU, 05.04.2024
 
To rephrase this, “DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS EXTRAORDINARY GATHERING OF NEW HUMANS FOR A NEW GLOBAL CIVILIZATION … A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITY, WORTH THOUSANDS BUT ALL FOR FREE!!”


Comment from Zhiwa Woodbury
– one of the 7 speakers on the “Our Cosmic Journey to GaiaSelf” webinar:

Dear Denis, Friends & Colleagues: As an archetypal astrologer trained by Richard Tarnus & Stan Grof, I would be remiss not to point out to everyone that Jupiter will be conjoining Uranus precisely during our panel discussion (7:26 pm Pac.)! This relatively rare conjunction is happening in Taurus, the Earth sign, and here is some good archetypal commentary from American astrologer Chani Nicholas:

  • Takeaway: The planets of expansion (Jupiter) and disruption (Uranus) join forces in the sign of Taurus. This rare union will unleash waves of creativity, rebellion, innovation, and exploration in the collective. Let the games begin. 
  • Jupiter is an expander. As the planet of luck, abundance, faith, and wisdom, Jupiter gathers us under the umbrella of a common cause, belief system, or mythology. Uranus, on the other hand, is more focused on shaking up the status quo. The first planet discovered beyond what we can perceive with the naked eye, Uranus helps us smash the barriers that hold us back

Approximately every 14 years, Jupiter and Uranus meet, prompting breakthroughs in faith, wisdom, technology, and spirituality. The conjunction of these two planets gives us a necessary push toward the future. The tide turns, and opportunities bloom in surprising places. Like a lightning flash suddenly illuminating a dark landscape, these eureka moments can provoke both fear and awe. Rapid change, whether positive or negative, can be destabilizing. Thankfully, this time around, this conjunction will occur in Taurus, the steady earth sign that grounds even the most dramatic growth spurts.

  • Because these two planets are meeting in Taurus, these expansive shifts are rooted in the Earth. The stakes of the climate crisis have never been higher, and perhaps this moment will nudge the collective toward necessary innovation and creative problem-solving
  • Further quantum leaps: In general, Jupiter–Uranus conjunctions bring sudden windfalls or a collective relief from challenging circumstances.  
  •  A Jupiter–Uranus conjunction coincided with the Apollo Moon landing on July 20th, 1969.
  • The last time this conjunction happened in Taurus (1941) Konrad Zuse completed the world’s first computer in Germany. Known as Z3, this fully automatic digital computer was created to improve the aerodynamics of airplanes during World War II. 

So how synchronous is all THAT for Gaiarcadia?! Let’s all remember to channel that archetypal, cosmogenerative energy!

2.5 Hours: from 7.30 AM AWST (9.30 AM AEST) [ FRI. 4.30pm PDT ]

Denis McCarthy (welcome): founder Gaiarcadia Academy, Fellow APS College of Clinical Psychologists  • Catherine Francis HeartMath™ Trainer, Director of Reverence Events,  physiotherapist in Fremantle, Western Australia • Prof. Rollin McCraty: executive VP and director of research at HeartMath Institute, member of the Global Coherence Steering committee and project coordinator of GCI’s Global Coherence Monitoring System • Dr Deborah Rozman: Psychologist, founding executive director of HeartMath Institute • Robyn Collins, creator of The Awakening Process, creator, author of Primordial Meditation, teacher • Dr Peter Russel: Author, Global Brain Inc., board of Institute of Noetic Science • Sasha Ivanovich: Architect, United States of Well-being (USWB) founding director • Kinzang Dorji: Bhutan, Buddhist ecologist, USWB teacher.

In this 2 hour webinar* distinguished meditation teachers ( bios at gaiarcadia.org/summit/speakers/ ) share and discuss the importance of the awakening of heart intelligence, its relationship to the global brain and the future of humanity. This session, very aptly the first of the 2 day event, concludes with a 45 minute panel discussion.

Humanity has reached a pivotal point where we see the death throes of an old, mechanistic, egocentric Earth-harming paradigm amidst the rise of a new, creative, ecocentric Earth-healing, regenerative paradigm grounded in holistic science and loving-kindness.

“It’s in the heart that we access the core qualities of love, compassion, care, kindness, forgiveness and appreciation that lift us above separation, judgment and blame. Through intentionally demonstrating these heart qualities in our lives, we have a unique opportunity to continue an awakening of our heart’s natural, compassionate care and desire to create the future together in harmony..”
– Doc Childre, Founder of HeartMath.

This session begins with a 3-minute guided mediation by Dr Deborah Rosman.

Catherine Francis & Dr. Rollin McCraty – Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the HeartMath Institute since 1991 will discuss the science of heart intelligence and how it helps us integrate our physical, mental and emotional systems into balanced alignment with the heart’s intuitive guidance for the well-being of ourselves, others and Planet Earth. Rollin will discuss the HeartMath Institute’s Global Coherence Initiative which aims to raise global consciousness and recognize “Love” as the new transformational intelligence. Catherine will share her experience as a HeartMath Training in AU.

Robyn Collins & Dr Peter Russell – Director of Science and NonDuality – will discuss how meditation and spirituality can help us respond well to these challenging times, while Sasha Ivanovich, founder of United States of Well-being and Kinzang Dorji will speak on the role Buddhist teachings play in human happiness, well-being and in humanity’s future thriving.
