The Kootenay Wellness Foundation and Live Harmonics are proud to present 'evolve': a reimagined gathering for an evolving community.
'evolve' is a community dance party for people who grew up in rave culture (or feel deeply connected to it) but are ready for a more intentional & connected way of gathering.
Aligned with the beginning of the Chinese New Year, this event invites us to explore a healthier, more present relationship with electronic dance music, community, and ourselves.

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!
