About Us
"We experience the world with beautiful immediacy, and with a quality of direct participation that seems completely natural. And yet it is quite magical. We take meaning from music, we know our loved ones from afar, and we leap in thought to the stars. Sometimes we sense that we have dissolved ourselves into a group or a larger whole. And we always have prayed as if it could make a difference."

CommonPassion.org is a global social collaborative connecting people from all walks of life who share compassion as a common passion. We are a nonprofit, nonsectarian educational and scientific consortium dedicated to validating and applying the power of collective human intention through prayer, meditation and music to ease violence and suffering in local and global communities, and to help solve the persistent problems of humankind. These challenges include replacing conflict with harmony at all levels: within individuals, between diverse cultures and interests, and between individuals and their environment.

CommonPassion.org is developing the technology to validate what people have known for millennia: that these pursuits, once thought to be solely the purview of faith, can and do make a difference.

  • We can promote social harmony naturally and efficiently.
  • We can reduce crime, violence and terrorism in our communities and in the world without taxing law enforcement agencies or increasing war budgets.
  • We can improve the quality of life and return Planet Earth to her pristine nature.
  • We can come together with a common passion to make our world a better place.

If you feel that we share a common passion, we would be honored to have you join us. If you would like to see evidence or the outcomes of our studies, you’ll find that here too. If you’d like to share ideas or your vision for the future, you’ll enjoy our discussion forums.

As we unfold our collective vision over the coming months, you’ll have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in co-creating our future.
