- 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 one of our 35 Evolver Regionals as they 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 hosting a network-wide healing blessing for the Gulf Coast.

Check the list below to find a Spore in your area. Dates may be different depending on the city. You can also email the regional host (via their group page) if you would like to get involved in the planning of the event. If there is not yet a Spore in your community, email remi@evolver.net to start your own.
