We are inviting 150+ community leaders from around the world to become nodes in the largest peace activation ever attempted on this planet.
Each node is a community — a gathering place, a circle, a movement — led by someone who believes that humanity is ready for something different. Together, these nodes will activate simultaneously, creating a unified wave of collective intention, presence, and peace that spans the globe.
This is a movement rooted in the understanding that when enough people shift their inner state together, the world will shift in response.
We are not waiting for governments or institutions to lead this. We are the leaders. And when global communities align in a shared moment of peace — across cultures, continents, and traditions — we change the frequency of what's possible.
150 Nodes · One Planet · One Moment · 08.08.2026
Whether you lead a community or want to take part on your own, we want you. Join the largest peace activation ever attempted on this planet.
August 8th marks the opening of the Lion's Gate Portal — a moment many view as a powerful alignment for intention, transformation, and collective energy. On this day, we aim to activate a global wave of connection beginning in New Zealand and traveling with the sun across the planet, uniting communities through synchronized moments of reflection, creativity, music, meditation, and shared human experience.
To bring the world together in real time, we will be hosting a global livestream accessible to all. As each region awakens and participates, the stream will evolve into a continuous tapestry of voices, cultures, and collective intention — a living reminder that even across borders and distance, humanity remains deeply interconnected.
Confirmed Global Events
A first look at how the world is gathering
Nodes already confirmed for 8 August — more are being added every day.
There are moments in history where humanity chooses a different path. Not because governments tell us to. Not because we all think the same. But because ordinary people choose connection over division.
The Global Peace Activation is an invitation — to pause, to breathe, to connect, and to remember that lasting peace begins with each of us.
Whether you are gathering with thousands, meeting with a small group in your local community, sharing this moment with your family at home, or participating individually — your presence matters.
On 8 August 2026, people from every corner of the world will pause together in one shared moment of peace, to cultivate peace within ourselves, our communities, and our planet. Thank you for becoming part of this global movement.

The essentials
A node is a gathering of people choosing to come together with a shared intention of cultivating peace. It can be public or private, large or small, formal or informal, online or in person.
With many events already running on 8 August, we're inviting all of them to come together as part of the Global Peace Activation. If you don't want to host or join a node, you can join the 24-hour livestream or zoom room — or simply pause wherever you are in a shared moment of intention.
What — A worldwide movement inviting humanity to come together in one shared moment of peace.
When — 8 August 2026.
Who — Everyone. Communities, families, schools, artists, faith groups, scientists, businesses, Indigenous communities, and individuals.
How — Join or host a local node, or participate individually.
Global moment — Join the Global Peace Meditation, hosted live by Nicole Gibson from the Healing Festival in the Czech Republic, 9am local (Czech) time.
Research — Participants can choose to contribute to a global research initiative through the IN TRUTH app, exploring the measurable effects of emotional regulation and collective coherence.

One Planet. One People. One Heart.
Why Are We Gathering
Peace can only be cultivated within
The world continues to search for peace in the systems around us, yet lasting peace can only be cultivated from within. When millions of people pause together with one shared intention, something extraordinary becomes possible.
On 8 August 2026, people across the world will unite in a synchronised global moment of peace — creating a field of collective intention that, through our partnership with IN TRUTH, we can explore for the first time on a global scale.
Many people recognise 8 August as the Lion's Gate Portal — a symbolic time associated with heart-centred awareness, transformation, and setting intentions for positive change. For the Global Peace Activation, this date offers a meaningful opportunity for people of every faith, culture, spiritual tradition, and worldview to unite in one shared moment of peace.
"In a world fracturing into fear and isolation, one million people choosing a radical act of solidarity is proof that we still choose connection over division. And for the first time in human history, we have the technology to prove it worked."
Nicole Gibson, Founder of IN TRUTH
Many paths. One intention. One shared moment for humanity.
The Research
What was once invisible can now be explored
For centuries, experiences such as collective intention, meditation, and human connection have been deeply meaningful to millions of people. Today, IN TRUTH's technology gives us the opportunity to explore these experiences in a new way.
In partnership with IN TRUTH, participants can choose to contribute anonymised wearable data that will help explore patterns of emotional regulation and collective coherence during the Global Peace Activation — exploring, for the first time, the physiological signature of collective intention.
Our hope is that these insights contribute to a broader conversation about wellbeing, human connection, and the potential of collective intention. Read more in Measuring Peace below.
Your Local Gathering
Every gathering matters
There is no perfect way to hold a Global Peace Activation node. Some gatherings may welcome thousands of people; others may simply be a family sitting together, or an individual sitting quietly in nature. What matters most is not the size of the gathering — it's the quality of the intention.
Every node is unique. Some may include meditation, music, art, prayer, ceremony, breathwork, conversation, silence, nature, or community connection. Create a space where people feel welcome, safe, and free to experience the day in their own way.
Register your node with your location, expected number of attendees, and the type of gathering you're hosting.
If your event is open to the public, please create a Humanitix link for us to share on the global node list.
Inform your participants that you are part of the Global Peace Activation — a template message with full instructions will be provided.
Ask participants to download the IN TRUTH app.
Begin with the shared Welcome Video, Prayer, and Mantra before flowing into your own unique event.
Join the Global Moment of Peace, and capture photos and video to share — you can also request to be part of the livestream.
You do not need to host an event to be part of the Global Peace Activation. You may choose to join a local node, gather with family or friends, create your own small gathering, or participate from wherever you are — every person contributes to the collective intention.
Register your participation at globalpeaceactivation.org.
Use the Prayer and Mantra, and join the Global Peace Activation Meditation.
Download the IN TRUTH app before 8 August if you'd like to take part in the research.
The Format
One day, one planet, one moment
There will be a 24-hour livestream following the sun around the world, featuring artists, speakers, teachers, and node events live from every region — local node events, music, prayer, ceremony, science, Indigenous wisdom, conversations, art, stories, and meditation.
At the heart of the day is one shared global moment: the Global Peace Meditation, hosted live by Nicole Gibson from the Healing Festival in the Czech Republic at 9am local time, on 8 August at:
9am Czech Republic
8am London
11am Dubai
5pm Tokyo
5pm Sydney
4am São Paulo
3am New York
12am (midnight) Los Angeles
Every participant and every node is invited to join this shared moment of collective intention. For those taking part in IN TRUTH's research, this is the moment of measurement.
Nodes
However your community gathers, it counts
Every node will create its own unique experience — some may gather in nature, schools, churches, community halls, festivals, or homes; others online, some in complete silence. What unites each gathering is not what happens. It's the shared intention.
Node leaders are invited to:
Play the Shared Opening — Welcome Video, Mantra, then Prayer.
Stream the livestream where appropriate.
Join the Global Peace Meditation, live from the Czech Republic with Nicole Gibson.
Invite Indigenous elders, where appropriate, to share prayers and teachings.
Capture photos and videos — be part of the livestream and the Empathy Revolution documentary.
Every gathering becomes part of a much larger story.
Mentors of Love & Wisdom
A gift for one shared opening across the world
The Mentors of Love & Wisdom are an international not-for-profit community dedicated to supporting people on their journey of healing, personal growth, and expanded consciousness. Their teachings encourage heart-centred awareness, inner wisdom, and service to humanity.
For the Global Peace Activation, they have generously offered their Prayer and Mantra as a shared opening for communities around the world. In'Easa mabu Ishtar and the Mentors of Love and Wisdom will open the Livestream event. While each node is unique, beginning together creates a shared intention that connects us before every gathering unfolds in its own way.
MA LOM SO TEE AAA LAROO SITA LO MANI UM GO AUM
Opening Mantra — performed by Bernadette King, music by Lukaijah
Its meaning: Mother of Light, send petals of Love, to embrace Abundance, for all beings of Light to be one with God.
Through learning co-creation and releasing separation, peace reigns in the heart of humanity again. The mind of Source is anchored in co-creation, and all may reach its highest potential through the mind of Source. Be calm, be still, be one. Uplift the frequency, expand the being, and assist all to enlighten through the light in each moment. Bring the hearts and minds of humanity into peace once more.
Collective Prayer for Humanity
We encourage node leaders to begin working with the Prayer and Mantra in the lead-up to 8 August, and to share them with participants.
The Journey Continues
This is the beginning of an ongoing journey
The Global Peace Activation is not intended to be a single event. Following 8 August, participants are invited to join a six-week global integration series exploring:
Consciousness
The nervous system
Collective intention
Human sovereignty
Indigenous wisdom
Integration and transformation
These conversations are designed to help us embody the peace we wish to see in our world.
Peace is not a destination. It is a practice.
International Peace Day
21 September 2026
On 21 September 2026, we will host a global livestream to ground and integrate everything that has unfolded over the preceding six weeks.
Every participant is invited to take part, whether communities gather again or you choose to do this individually.
This gathering will also include the presentation of insights from IN TRUTH's research initiative — exploring the measurable effects of coherence, connection, and collective intention.

Empathy Revolution
A Documentary Feature in Production
As part of documenting the Global Peace Activation movement, we've partnered with the team behind Empathy Revolution — a feature documentary exploring one of the most urgent questions of our time: what happens when we lose connection to ourselves, each other, and our emotional lives?
The film follows mental health leader and InTruth founder Nicole Gibson as she investigates the growing impact of emotional disconnection, artificial intelligence, emotional data sovereignty, and the future of human connection in the digital age.
At a time when our emotions, behaviors, and attention are increasingly being tracked, influenced, and monetized, Empathy Revolution explores the urgent need to better understand, name, and protect our emotional worlds — and whether empathy itself may become one of the most important forces shaping our future.
As part of this global initiative, we are inviting communities large and small to help document the movement in real time — capturing gatherings, moments of connection, reflections, and acts of collective intention to form a living global portrait of humanity seeking peace.
What if peace wasn't just an ideal — but something we could measure?
GPA in partnership with IN TRUTH is building what will be the largest dataset ever collected on the human nervous system — gathered across a global, coordinated series of Peace Activation events. Participants wear biometric sensors during shared experiences designed to shift the nervous system out of stress and into coherence.
The data tells us something profound: what peace actually looks like in the body — across cultures, geographies, and communities.
Our ambition is to map the architecture of peace. To understand the physiological conditions under which humans experience safety, connection, and calm — at scale — and then to use that knowledge to inform the systems we design: workplaces, schools, cities, healthcare, and beyond.
This is one of the most rigorous, real-world studies of human coherence ever attempted.
August 8th is the ignition — but this movement does not end there.
From the Lion's Gate on 08.08.2026 through to the United Nations' International Day of Peace on September 21st, we are calling on every node to keep their community activated. Forty-four days of sustained collective intention — local gatherings, shared practices, ongoing connection — building toward a single, unified crescendo on World Peace Day.
On September 21st, the 150+ nodes of the Global Peace Activation will join millions around the world already marking this day. Our contribution is a coordinated, simultaneous moment of peace — the same wave that began in New Zealand on August 8th, now amplified by six weeks of momentum and presence.
Between the two dates, participating communities are invited to hold regular gatherings — weekly circles, meditations, creative events, or acts of service — each one logged as part of the global record. We are not building a single moment. We are building a practice.
From the first light of the Lion's Gate to the stillness of World Peace Day — 44 days to shift the frequency of what's possible.
A node is any community gathering that takes place on August 8th, 2026 as part of the Global Peace Activation. It can be a meditation circle, a concert, a ceremony, a community meal, a yoga class, or any shared experience where people come together with intention. Each node registers in advance and receives a guide for how to synchronise your moment of collective peace with communities around the world.
No. Nodes can be led by individuals, grassroots groups, spiritual communities, businesses, schools, or formal organisations. What matters is that you have a community — people who gather around you and trust your leadership.
There is no minimum. A node can be ten people in a living room or ten thousand in a stadium. Every gathering counts. What we are building is breadth — 150+ nodes across as many cultures, geographies, and traditions as possible.
Absolutely. Sign up to our mailing list and we'll notify you when a node near you is confirmed. You'll be able to join an existing community gathering, or simply participate from home during the global livestream.
Each node is free to design its own experience. We provide a suggested framework — a shared moment of silence, intention-setting, and collective breath — but the form it takes is entirely up to you and your community. We encourage music, movement, ceremony, art, and whatever creates the deepest sense of presence and connection for your people.
A single leader can only be physically present in one place, but you can absolutely submit multiple nodes if you have trusted facilitators to lead each gathering. Each node needs a designated lead on the ground.
All Nodes are invited to begin with the same opening Prayer and Mantra from the Mentors of Love and Wisdom, to establish a shared collective intention and frequency before each gathering begins. You're encouraged to share these with your participants and start using them in the lead-up to 8 August. You'll find the full text in the Participant Guide above, under "Mentors of Love & Wisdom."
The Event
August 8th marks the annual opening of the Lion's Gate Portal — an astrological alignment between the Earth, the star Sirius, and the Orion constellation. Many traditions view this as a powerful window for intention, transformation, and collective energy. We chose this date to align with a moment already recognised across many cultures as significant for inner work and conscious evolution.
The activation travels with the sun, beginning in New Zealand and moving westward across the planet throughout the day. Each region will have a designated window aligned with local morning hours. A full regional time guide will be distributed to all registered nodes closer to the date.
The livestream will be freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The link will be shared with all registered nodes and published on this site in the lead-up to August 8th. No subscription or payment is required.
We designed the activation to travel with the sun precisely to honour every time zone. That said, if your local window is genuinely inaccessible, you are welcome to hold your gathering at the most suitable time on the day and join the global livestream at whatever point works for your community.
You can still follow the same format — either by using the recording of Nicole's meditation, or by creating your own moment of peace at a time that suits your community. If you do this, please make a note of the time of your "peace moment" and email it to us so we can link your data with the global research.
No. The Global Peace Activation is non-denominational, non-partisan, and independent of any government or institution. It is open to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and worldviews. The only prerequisite is a belief that humanity is capable of more — and a willingness to show up for that possibility together.
Data & InTruth
InTruth is building a first-of-its-kind dataset on the human nervous system in states of collective peace. The data is used to map the physiological conditions of coherence, safety, and calm — and ultimately to inform the design of healthier systems in workplaces, schools, cities, and healthcare. You can learn more at intruth.io.
Participants retain ownership of their personal data. InTruth collects anonymised, aggregated data only, and no individual's data is sold or shared with third parties. Full data governance details are outlined in the InTruth participant consent process.
No. The biometric data study is entirely optional. You can participate fully in the Global Peace Activation — as a node leader or attendee — without wearing a sensor or contributing to the research.
The systems that currently govern our planet require scientific evidence to influence change. While many of us intuitively sense that these systems don't fully support humanity, this is the first time we can gather scientific data showing the effects of collective coherence on a global scale — data that can help transform the systems in which we live.
All data collected through this site and the InTruth research program is handled in compliance with applicable privacy laws. Email addresses collected through our mailing list are used solely to keep you informed about the activation and will never be sold or shared.
Donation & Support
No. Participation as a node leader or community member is completely free. Donations support the production of the Empathy Revolution documentary, the research infrastructure, and the logistics of coordinating a global event.
Funds go directly toward three areas: the Empathy Revolution documentary production, the biometric research program in partnership with InTruth, and the operational costs of coordinating the global activation — including the livestream, node support, and communications.
Yes. We welcome aligned organisations who wish to sponsor regional activations or contribute to the broader mission. Please reach out to us directly at nicola@nicolakerr.com.au to discuss partnership opportunities.
The Documentary
All registered nodes will receive a simple filming guide before August 8th. We encourage every community — large or small — to capture their gathering: the setting, the people, the moments of connection. Footage can be submitted through a link that will be shared with all nodes after the event. By submitting, you grant the production team permission to include your footage in the film and associated materials.
Yes. Empathy Revolution is being produced for wide public release. Distribution details are still being confirmed. Sign up to the mailing list to be among the first to know when and where the film becomes available.
