I'm part of a community called PRAMECO, which is a network of individuals who take time to collectively and simultaneously use contemplative techniques with the intention of bettering the world. This project is still in its early stages but was conceived and has been implemented largely by a fellow University of the West classmate of mine, Nathan Michon.
Every year we engage in four projects, each with three days (1 per month) when we join together to focus our attention toward a particular theme, idea, or issue with the understanding that our intentions have reverberating effects beyond ourselves, throughout the world, and can help bring about the contentment and peacefulness that we wish to see.
The statement of purpose of PRAMECO:
"PRAyer MEditation and COntemplation of non-violence, peace and harmony for all citizens of the world. PRAMECO is the combined effort of people around the globe to pray, meditate, and contemplate conflicts and issues in the world that could use our attention. PRAMECO initiatives are times to train ourselves – our own minds and hearts - and to unite with others at the same time to focus on the betterment of those in need."
