We invite you to choose a price that reflects your current capacity and helps keep this offering accessible to the wider community. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. We are looking for volunteers to support this event and are happy to meet you where you’re at.
At its core, 'evolve' offers a welcoming, “sober-ish” space to move your body, connect with others, and experience music in a more present way. We look forward to gathering with you!
