Pleasanton, California — Pause369.com and Wishing Well Inc., registered non-profits, today announced Pause for Peace, a global movement inviting 100 million people worldwide to participate in a synchronized act of unity for Peace on Earth.
At the heart of this movement is a simple, universal declaration:
“I choose peace.”
On December 21 at 9:00 PM local time, individuals, families, schools, organizations, and cities across the globe will light candles and enter six minutes of guided silence, creating what organizers aim to be the largest coordinated peace event in human history.
The initiative is being formally submitted to Guinness World Records as an attempt to establish the largest synchronized global candle-lighting event for peace for all.
🌍 A Global Invitation to Organizations
Pause for Peace is designed as a peace movement, inviting organizations worldwide to participate as official partners and mobilize their communities.
Corporations, schools, universities, faith institutions, wellness platforms, nonprofits, and city governments are encouraged to join—bringing their networks into a shared global moment of stillness and intention.
“For six minutes, humanity will pause not in reaction, but with intention for peace,” said Reena Jadhav, founder of Pause369. “When 100 million people sit in stillness for 6 minutes, their hearts filled with love and compassion, how can it not manifest into reality. We are creating a magical moment together, as one for all, something the world has not experienced before but is ready for now.”
🕯️ Why Participate
Be Part of a Historic Guinness World Record
Contribute to defining a new global benchmark for synchronized human participation at unprecedented scale.
Lead a Global Movement for Peace & Unity
In an era of rising conflict and stress, this simple act transcends culture, religion, and geography.
Join a First-of-Its-Kind Global Measurement Initiative
Participation will be tracked through a digital platform, partner reporting, and independent verification. Post-event analysis will explore correlations between collective stillness and global indicators such as:
- Social sentiment trends
- Digital engagement patterns
- Publicly available stress and conflict signals
A Global Impact Report will be released following the event.
Strengthen Community, Culture, and Wellbeing
Engage employees, students, and communities in a shared ritual that builds connection, calm, and purpose.
Global Visibility and Leadership
Participating organizations will be recognized across media, digital campaigns, and official reporting.
🔬 A Moment Rooted in Science and Intention
As physicist Werner Heisenberg observed, observation influences reality. Research on collective meditation—including studies related to the Maharishi Effect—has suggested reductions in societal stress indicators during periods of synchronized focus.
Pause for Peace expands this concept to a planetary scale, creating an unprecedented opportunity to observe the potential impact of collective intention.
🌏 A “Follow the Sun” Global Wave
The event will unfold as a continuous wave across time zones—beginning in the South Pacific and moving across continents—creating a 24-hour chain of light and stillness.
Participants can gather in homes, classrooms, workplaces, and public spaces, or join virtually via a global livestream on Pause369.com.
