Sporeganizers will gather Monday, Jan 31st @ 7pm to discuss the growth and deployment of Evolver Austin.
We are meeting specifically to decide on a venue, date, and content for the upcoming Rites of Passage theme in February. We will compare resources, celebrate community, and express what we each feel Austin's heart calls for in this moment of our arising.
Our perch, the rooftop lounge of The Gables beside Town Lake. Pls RSVP for entry details (secured location...gives a top secret, high-priority mission vibe...... ;P )
Thank you for supporting Evolver Austin and the Evolver Social Movement!

Evolver Austin is swirling...mind(s) aglow with the flame of Resource mobilization...Collective Action dilemma....Balance as Muse.....
Historically, people will join movements because their expectations have outgrown their actual material/political/spiritual situation (see J-Curve theory)... How to create an organization that operates similarly to capitalist enterprises making efficient use of available resources....while maintaining the perfect pressure as a contrasting force to oppressive constructs. Our work requires clearly identified goals.
This is the voice I hear in each of you. And I savor the distinct characteristics of each heartsong, and the way our differences color our interaction.
With Pure Intentions, we can and will generate a greater sense of connectedness here in our beloved oasis, and with that collective push toward symbiotic activism, brighten the face of the earth.
Learn nobility from a candle.
Laugh while shedding tears.

Last night's Sporeganizer round table fueled the next phase of Evolver Austin, setting the stage for February's 'Rites of Passage' spore event on Feb 16th.
When I envision each of you, I see your tendrils electrified. Stay Open, hold the gateway for those wavelengths approaching; Greet joyful activists in need of platforms for raising their respective banners. We as spirit of a new momentum, humming with transparency, must work palpably like an access of free power.
Thank you for listening to your own 'seed of awakening' and nourishing others' by showing up.
A quote from existentialist fiction, on feeling far away from others, despite a knowing that we 'inter-are', and sensing the omens, we begin to render the poetics of our questioning.
"...They make laws, they write popular novels/films, they get married, they are fools enough to have children. And all this time, great, vague nature has slipped into their city, in has infiltrated everywhere, in their house, in their office, in themselves. It doesn't move, it stays quietly and they are full of it inside, they breathe it, and they don't see it, they imagine it to be outside, twenty miles from the city. I see it, I see this nature.....I know that its obedience is idleness, I know it has no laws: what they take for constancy is only habit and it can change tomorrow....." (Sartre)
