Bringing the Overview Effect Down to Earth: Our Cosmic Human Heart

The Overview Effect is a phenomenon experienced by astronauts when they see Earth from space, usually involving a direct experience of the Oneness of humanity and our planet. We'll hear from the man who coined the term "Overview Effect" (OE) and consider how it's a powerful tool for building heart coherence — even without going into space. An OE simulation, meditation and "Tone Home" experience will complete our final Global Coherence Pulse Experience morning.
