The Gaiasphere Event Center Brings Together A Conscious Community
In 2011 we set out on a rather lofty mission: to empower an evolution in consciousness by creating a platform for like-minded seekers to explore some of the deeper questions of our existence.
Since then, we’ve watched as our community has rapidly expanded from tens of thousands, to now hundreds of thousands. And while the wonders of modern technology have allowed us to reach so many of you, the digital sphere adds a layer of separation between us. That’s why we decided to launch GaiaSphere.
And now we’ve done it – we’re excited to announce the completion of the GaiaSphere at our campus in Boulder, Colorado, where we’ll be featuring some of our favorite luminaries beginning June 14, 2019.
Over the course of the coming year, we’ve invited speakers including Gregg Braden, Caroline Myss, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein, and Graham Hancock for deeply engaging, multi-day seminars that are sure to be life-changing.
The goal of GaiaSphere was to create an immersive atmosphere for our community to connect with each other, with us, and with the thought leaders we all know and love on Gaia. And though these thought leaders will be leading the events, we want the biggest headliner to be you.
That’s what we had in mind when we built GaiaSphere; to take our mission and make it into a tangible, substantive experience where we can meet you and you can get to know us — the real-life personalities and faces who have made it their work to create a conscious media platform.
Our newly built, state-of-the-art facility will bring together seekers from across the globe to connect in a truly transformative environment, facilitated by the brilliant minds who are inspiring paradigm shifts in modern philosophy, health, and spirituality.
So, what can you expect when attending an event at GaiaSphere?
We’ve set the number of attendees for each event at around 250 people – large enough to make connections within our community, but not so big that you’ll feel overwhelmed. We hope that over the course of these multi-day sessions, you’ll forge relationships that could last a lifetime.
During breaks, you can strengthen those newly formed friendships by grabbing a bite to eat at our all-organic cafe with fresh, locally-grown nourishment that will cater to any diet.
Take a stroll around the various pathways that encircle Gaia’s campus, or meditatively meander through one of our stone labyrinths. Then make your way to the Gaia Garden where honeybees from our apiary pleasantly buzz around, pollinating the flowers and trees, while you contemplate some of the day’s learnings.
For those visiting the area for the first time, Boulder and the Colorado front range have endless offerings including gorgeous scenery, outdoor activities, and exceptional dining. You may never want to leave.
If you’re unable to attend in person, don’t fret! Each of our events will be live-streamed in HD and uploaded to Gaia’s archives, always remaining available to Gaia+ members.
And just like our mission of co-creating an evolution in consciousness, we want you to help us co-create what GaiaSphere could become. These initial events we’ve announced are just the start — we need your help figuring out the rest. If there’s an event or use for the space we haven’t seen, please, let us know. We’re all ears.
Let’s create our own atmosphere here at Gaia and continue the audacious undertaking of creating an evolution in consciousness. Together we can connect, transform, and belong at GaiaSphere.

Does Your Heart Have a Mind of Its Own?
Until recently, modern science perceived the heart as merely a pump to regulate the flow of blood throughout our bodies. But across numerous cultures, the heart has historically been thought to have a much greater function that corresponds with our thoughts, emotions, and spirit.
When we speak or share feelings from a place of deep meaning or passion, we say we’re speaking from the heart or we’re trying to convey something that is heartfelt. This is no longer just an archaic maxim, but instead, one with factual backing. And science is now realizing that the heart and brain have more of a corollary, interactive relationship than previously thought … a relationship that has residual consequences on our bodies, and possibly even humanity as a whole.
Connecting Two Major Organs
The brain has typically been thought to be the control center for the body, sending directions through the nervous system to different organs, telling them how to behave. This is done through voluntary or involuntary action, like telling the heart to pump blood. But in reality, the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain does to the heart, influencing emotions, memories, problem-solving, and high-level cognitive functions.
In fact, the heart has its own network of neurons. This network is so sensitive that our heart rhythms become highly ordered when we experience positive emotions, love, and joy. On the contrary, negative emotions and psychological activity cause erratic and jerky heart function, leading to inefficiency, lack of energy, and poor reasoning.
While massive fluctuations can shake up our energy and emotional levels, our heart rates already fluctuate very regularly, sometimes even every beat. Although these fluctuations are minute it shows just how sensitive our hearts are and how susceptible they are to change. These oscillations in our heart rate are called Heart Rate Variability or HRV. HRV essentially measures the change in our heart rate with each beat. It is an effective way of being able to maintain and effect psychophysiological coherence or heart-brain coherence.
