Evolver Spores: The Spirit of Water

As untold gallons of oil gush into the Gulf, we are sadly reminded of that most vital ingredient to all life on Earth: water. Though it covers almost three quarters of the planet and fills nearly 70% of our own bodies, this precious and seemingly boundless substance is becoming increasingly scarce and imperiled. Reckless damming of rivers, wide-scale pollution, and corporate privatization threaten the free flow of fresh H2O for growing numbers of people around the world.

At the same time, this ephemeral element possesses magical shape-shifting powers, evaporating, condensing, freezing and melting in a flux of physical states. Water summons the lunar, feminine, and intuitive wisdom of consciousness, with our vast oceans granting us a glimmer into the enigma of how this life-giving substance came to our planet in the first place.

This month, join Evolver Atlanta as we explore the mystery and history of H2O, the contemporary politics behind today’s “water wars,” and how we can preserve and protect this critical element for future generations. We will also be participating in an Evolver network-wide healing blessing for the Gulf Coast.

Guests Include:
Upper Chattahoochee RiverKeepers (www.ucriverkeeper.org)
More to be announced soon!

Cost: There is no admission for Evolver Spores, but donations are suggested and greatly appreciated!

We encourage people to show up a little early and bring a dish for a potluck as we get set up and settled in for the night. Hot tea and beverages will be provided by Evolver Atlanta. We’d love to make this a regular gathering along with the Spore events! This event will be held at The Hearth community center, adjacent to the Lake Claire Land Trust -- the new home for Atlanta's Evolver Spores. See full directions and parking details below.
