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.
