About Global Coherence Network

What is GCN?

The Global Coherence Network is a community-built platform for tracking and visualizing collective meditation practice worldwide. Through a live, interactive map, practitioners can see who is meditating right now, set an intention for their session, and watch as the global field of conscious practice grows in real time.

Our Mission

We exist to create a shared, visible field of conscious intention. When people meditate together — even remotely — there is a growing body of research suggesting measurable effects on collective well-being. Studies in fields ranging from psychophysiology to social coherence point toward tangible benefits when groups meditate simultaneously, including reduced stress markers and improvements in community-level indicators of peace.

This platform makes that practice visible. By showing every session on a shared map, we hope to inspire more people to contribute their practice — and to demonstrate that individual effort adds up to something larger.

What GCN Is Not

Transparency matters to us, so we want to be explicit about what this platform is not:

• Not a medical device. GCN does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
• Not affiliated with any organization. GCN is not affiliated with Dr. Joe Dispenza, Encephalon LLC, or any similar organization, teacher, guru, or proprietary methodology. It is an independent, community-driven project.
• Not making health claims. While we reference research on collective meditation, we do not promise specific health outcomes. Individual results vary widely, and meditation should complement — never replace — professional medical care.

Privacy First

All of your data is stored locally on your device. Your location is rounded for privacy so that exact coordinates are never stored or shared. No user account is required in Phase 1 — you can start meditating immediately without providing any personal information. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Phase 1: The MVP

You are using the first phase of the Global Coherence Network. This minimum viable product includes the live map, session tracking, intention setting, and a local profile with activity stats. It is intentionally simple — we want to get the core experience right before adding complexity.

Future phases will introduce user accounts, integration with wearable devices for biometric data, group sessions with synchronized timers, and verified research partnerships with academic institutions studying collective meditation.

Open and Community-Driven

We believe in transparency. The platform is community-built and community-driven. Every design decision, feature priority, and technical choice is made in the open with input from practitioners, developers, and researchers who share our vision of a more coherent world.
