30 Days of Peace: A Celebration of Oneness
CommonPassion, in cooperation with Culture of Peace Initiative, Association for Global New Thought, World Peace Prayer Society, Friends of the UN and many other local and global groups have orchestrated an interfaith, global meditation and prayer event held between September 11, 2007 and October 10, 2007. The participants in this 30-day program came from many different faith-systems, religious groups, indigenous communities and meditation assemblies.
Results
The unique piece that CommonPassion brings to large scale global meditation and prayer events is a greater level of quantification of participation and activity for the purposes of future study. The reports below are results from the CommonPassion Web site registrations systems.
In addition to the numbers reported below, other groups and individuals participated but did not register on the CommonPassion site. By way of personal communiqué with co-collaborators, we estimate this additional number to be between 300,000 and 1,000,000 people. As this initiative grows and gains broader exposure in future events, it is anticipated that the number of registrants will also significantly grow.

Breakthrough Celebration: Compassion to Action Program
CommonPassion Study Results - The Breakthrough Celebration: Compassion to Action Event (May 15th through May 29th 2007)
CommonPassion.org, in cooperation with many local and global groups, orchestrated an interfaith global meditation and prayer event during the period from May 15 to May 29, 2007. This event was a series of meditation and prayers for community and global peace. Participants performed their own meditation, prayer or ceremonial practice, at their own specified time(s) and place(s), but shared a common “intention agreement” for peace.
It is estimated that between 700,000 and 800,000 people, in 51 countries participated in this two-week program from many different faith-systems, religious groups, indigenous communities and meditation assemblies. All participants were volunteers, and no attempt was made to audit numbers of participants. It is assumed that some estimates of group participation were high. Also, many people participated in the global meditation that did not register. Some groups met in physical assemblies, some were organized non-locally using agreed upon time synchronizations, and some groups were a combination of local and non-local participation. Some groups performed some or all of their consciousness activity via guided, live teleconference and or videoconference.
Concurrent with the prayer-meditation practices an analysis was performed of the Global Consciousness Project’s (GCP) network of random event generators and showed a correlation between the meditation-prayer event activity and the activity in the GCP network.
