Evolver’s Mission:

The grand vision of the Evolver network is a bold and daring one: to create an international alternate social structure of evolvers who share their talents, resources, wisdom, and passions in hopes of building a better, more equitable world. The monthly Spore gatherings are a key component in manifesting this dream.

What Is a Spore?

Spores can land anywhere, find the right spot, and quickly develop an aboveground and underground network that supports many types of life through symbiosis. Evolver Spores are monthly community meet-ups, creative salons, hubs of ecological activation, cultural incubation, and social inspiration. Evolver Spores bring people and groups together who share the ideal of a more beautiful, cooperative society, and help them find the collaborators and tools they need to realize their vision. Our goal is to facilitate a conversation around issues that the mainstream culture often ignores, that we consider important. We see value in getting our growing international Evolver community to synergize its intentions and synchronize its efforts across the network, coming together as one, at least for one night every month.

The Spores take place on the third Wednesday of every month. These cross-network “activations” are meant to bring various individuals, groups, and tribes together to connect, share information, and initiate collaborations. Each month has a different theme, from alternative economies to sustainable food practices, from holistic health to shamanic practices, from visionary art to media activism. The Spores are not specifically trying to start up individual projects (although we definitely encourage that once you get things going), but to create a space for diverse organizations in the conscious community to come together to inform us how to take action. Groups can range from bicycle co-ops and yoga studios to neighborhood gardens and urban homesteads to local currency groups and healing circles.
