The mission of the O World Project is to provide an avenue for leaders and visionaries from many disciplines to share their perspectives on the world today, the current state of humanity, life, love, death and the nature of reality and possibility. To this end we are interviewing a diverse group of visionaries from many disciplines, including leaders from the Arts, Spiritual, Scientific and Social/Political fields of human endeavour. Ultimately, the project hopes to inspire more inquiry into awareness of ourselves... as individuals and as a species ... and ideally help to encourage a new syntax and a more conscious evolutionary path. It’s an ambitious project, reflecting the dramatic times in which we presently live.
The aim of this project is to present something unique, inclusive, and inspiring in its scale ... something which will energize and inspire people to re-evaluate and re-enforce their resolve to evolve consciously and conscientiously.

The Arts phase of the project includes an original song called 'O World'. The song represents a ‘diversity and unity of purpose’, as all participating musicians are basing their own unique interpretations on the same original composition as a reference point.
The project enlisted musicians from around the world and asked each of them to adapt the original alternative rock version and create their own unique arrangement, representing their own particular style, genre, and ethnic musical tradition. Some of the countries represented include Spain, Argentina, US, Peru, Canada, Venezuela, India, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Uganda, and Turkey, with more to follow. We couldn't imagine a more pleasurable way to display the diversity of culture, creativity, perspective and energy... than through the magical lens of music.
Vocal versions of the song are presented in a myriad of languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Lugandan, Taiwanese, Hindi, and Turkish. Music genres include Rock, Folk, Pop, Choral, a-cappella, Hip Hop, Rap, Flamenco, Bossa Nova, Blues, Gospel, Jazz, and Opera/Artsong versions. Instrumental versions of 'O World' feature instruments from around the world, including: sitar, Peruvian pan flute, pipe organ, touchstyle guitar, dan bau, erhu, bagpipe, zheng, tar, pipa, with more to follow.

The second phase of the project focuses on Science, Philosophy, Politics and Spirituality. Following the intention of promoting inclusiveness and solidarity the O World Project features interviews with prominent scientists, philosophers, politicians and spiritual leaders from many faiths and practices, who share their perspectives on the current state of humanity, our relationship with the earth, and our evolution as a species.
