July Spore: 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 Philadelphia 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.

We'll be hearing from Tom Taggart of the Philadelphia Water Department, as well as other guests.

No charge, but we will accept donations of gratitude to our hosts, Studio 34 Yoga.
