September Spore: Spirit In Action

For next Wednesday's little gathering, which can best be envisioned as an intentional mixer of sorts, we will have music provided by Mr. Sean Ohm Markert ("OM" for the evening), and Angela and I should have some form of food for folks. Please feel free to bring what you'd like, but since it's a little later try and refrain from heavy foods and keep things light.

The schedule may look something like this:

Gather: 7:30-8:30
Evolver/Satyagraha/Wilkes-Barre: 8:30-9:30
OM: 9:30-11:00

Place: 65 West Jackson St. Apt. 1

Evolver Spores: “Spirit in Action”

Wed, Sept. 15 (Prayer for Peace on Sept. 18)

A profound power arises when heart-centered spirituality and direct activism unite. The most visionary and revolutionary figures of our time were suffused with this enlightened energy, leading peaceful movements to victory against grievous injustices. In a world beset by destructive corporatism, political tyranny, and meaningless war, spiritual activism strives to alchemize and transform oppression into compassion while making positive change on our planet.

Embodied in Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of satyagraha and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “non-violent resistance,” spiritual activism offers an effective and inspirational strategy against the worst offenses of dominator culture. In celebration of this topic, 40+ Evolver Regionals and 300+ EarthDance locations will join forces in a Global Festival for Peace, uniting our energies with talks, action, music, meditation and more. On September 18th, we will host a worldwide Prayer for Peace at 7pm EST, Midnight GMT.
