As part of the Evolver Social Movement, the Spores serve as hubs of cultural incubation and environmental activation that bring together diverse ind …

We are a community of Jews committed to the healing, repair and transformation of our world, the Jewish community, Israel, and our own inner selves. We are part of an emerging movement of Jewish Renewal that is seeking to return to the deepest sources of Jewish spirituality. We sometimes describe ourselves as neo-Hasidic: "Hasidic" because we believe that serving God is not only a matter of the head but of the heart, "neo" because we are committed to equality of the sexes, welcoming to gays and …

Do you think there has to be a better kind of society - one where we can live in solidarity and cooperation, where we aren't destroying the planet and where production is based on social need, not private profit? Let's get together to get a better understanding of what is wrong with the rule of Corporate America and how it can be changed and what we can do to bring about a change. The premise is that none of us is really all that different from those living around us here in Oakland. Discussions …

Our Third Act is a social movement, by and for older adults, powered by social enterprise. It is education and mutual support in action, as we create healthy and fulfilling lives as we age. American culture is obsessed with youth, and is stuck in an outdated paradigm of aging, so as we age we’re seen as “over the hill”, useless, decrepit and ugly. And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …

Democracy at it's best is a participatory endeavor that works to improve our social contract. It works best when interested parties work together in good faith to address mutually identified problems. It works best when a responsible fourth estate acts as a watchdog toward those in power to maintain a well-informed, accurately informed citizenry. For a number of years, as a society, we have struggled to maintain democracy at it's best. Media has neglected its watchdog role in favor of attemptin …

Bottled water corporations are trying to change the way people think about water. Water is a human right and common resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold. By retailing and promoting bottled water in our national parks, the bottled water industry is attempting to paint its eco-unfriendly product green. Our national parks were never meant to serve as billboards and concession stands for the bottled water industry. It sends the wrong message about our national commitment to water, our mos …

With Laughter Yoga, hilarity brings clarity! Like physical yoga, breath and presence is of the essence. But, in Laughter Yoga our exercises are about movement rather than postures. And, our breath and movement are fueled by laughter! My name is Tommy Westerfield, and I am a Certified Laughter Yoga Instructor. I received my training at the American School of Laughter Yoga in Los Angeles in 2009. What I love about Laughter Yoga is you don't need to be happy, or have a sense of humor, or even have …

(Please note: This is a women-only gathering) Ancient Belly Dance was once a sacred, sensual dance, made by women for women, to honor and invoke the mysteries of life. It was a space for women to safely express their wild beauty and desires, and sacred emotions of joy, sensuality and even grief. The ancient dance was a pathway to invite and channel the Divine, and prepare and celebrate a birthing mother-to-be. I teach ancient belly dance as an embodied spiritual practice of sensual movement, med …

Shakti is always in action: expressing, engaging, creating, moving. Even in stillness, there is movement. Shakti is energy; Shakti is life force. She expresses herself uniquely in each person.
