We know that today many people are feeling unsustainable pressure and feelings of despair as we face unprecedented and unpredictable changes. Doctors, environmentalists and community leaders, amongst others, continue to warn us of this.

The Calm Collective (Australia) was launched in September 2021, as a collaborative network, to bring together committed meditators, faith leaders and well-wishers from all backgrounds and walks of life.

It has one aim: 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.

The initial call to action was to gather from 9.00 – 9.15pm, each Sunday evening, from Sunday September 26th through to Sunday 19th December, 2021, to support Australia and our planet during some difficult times ahead. We have gathered since during significant events (the Ukraine, earthquake in Turkey, the Middle East, for instance) in our world.

The holding of these weekly spaces were accompanied by a couple minutes of inspirations and reflections by a long-term faith and/or meditation practitioner. Please click here for the recordings - or scroll down.

Currently, members of the Calm Collective will be gathering every evening for 100 days, starting on 14th June 2024, 9.00pm - 9.10pm, in the run up to UN Peace Day (21st September 2024). 

In contrast to the previous gatherings, the format will be very simple for these daily ones: 

• a simple written intention at the beginning for all to hold;

• a visual to focus the meditation for 10 minutes; 

• a new intention to be posted on the first day of every month; 

• no registration required for these daily ones;

• join for the days that you can make it;

• no chat/video at the end - so you can join as you are! 

• If you are in a different time zone, we encourage you (and friends!) to 'sit' at 9.00pm - 9.10pm your time - the relevant video will be posted here, the day before.

We invite all those who feel the call of these times to attend these mindful and heartfull online gatherings.

Please join whenever you are able to - your silent, loving and peaceful contribution holds untold value.

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.

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 and is supported by 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).
