Revolution or evolution?

“You say you want a revolution …

Are you a change agent? Do you have a tendency to fix things without being asked? Do you see opportunity where others may see chaos? But, do you get discouraged and feel some issues are stuck and will never improve?

Changing the world, even your “own world,” is hard work. How can you not lose a sense of optimism? How can you reframe the challenges of our time and become a more effective change agent?

Carter Phipps, author of Evolutionaries, will be leading a workshop at The Well on November 14 where a fresh approach to change making will be offered. Participants will be introduced to the concept of Evolutionary Spirituality … an idea at its essence that is about realizing that evolution is not just happening out there in the universe—in nature, or in our biology—but in our own lives and the lives of our communities. As Carter explains, “It is connected to the choices we are making to develop and grow, to have more integrity, to understand ourselves and our world more deeply, to expand our own awareness and cognition, to reach for richer, more complex and integrated perspectives, to create novelty and beauty, and to contribute in some small way to the further development of human consciousness and culture.”

Come join us for a day of exploration and retooling. A day that promises to refresh, lighten your load, and offer a new view of a bright future:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
