About
EVOLVE Partner Organizations
EVOLVE Principles and Values
At this
time of rapid change in human society and global ecology there is
a need for the connecting, coordinating, and integrating of individual
and organizational initiatives working on behalf of balanced, ethical,
and life-enhancing evolution for humanity and Earth.
This
is the mission of EVOLVE:
a Global Community Center for Conscious Evolution—to
serve as a central resource hub for individuals and communities
worldwide that are choosing to embrace and apply the emerging principles,
tools and templates of cocreative self and social conscious evolution.
EVOLVE is
being catalyzed by and is a program of the Foundation
for Conscious Evolution (FCE). It is the specific intent and
interest of FCE that EVOLVE ultimately is developed in collaborative
partnership with numerous colleagues and organizations as a joint
initiative. We feel it is not possible for one organization or group
to comprehensively acquire the resources, knowledge, skills, etc.
needed to guide humanity during this period of evolutionary transition.
Indeed, it is our belief that those people and organizations that
can best cooperate, fulfilling the self-interest of each unique
contributor while fulfilling the collective-interest of the whole,
will most readily and appreciably succeed in the coming years. In
this spirit, we invite collaborative partnerships to be explored
by those who feel a calling towards this shared vision.

As depicted
in this simple illustration, we also anticipate that an actual physical
Center for Conscious Evolution will be built in the next few years
to support the face to face interactions needed to assist humanity
through this critical period of transition.
About
EVOLVE Partner Organizations
EVOLVE Partner
Organizations represent members of an alliance of organizations
whose mission, values and principles are in alignment with those
of EVOLVE and Conscious Evolution, and who elect to invite their
respective members to participate in the features and services offered
on the EVOLVE website. EVOLVE Partner Organizations do not in any
way hold a right to ownership of any aspect of EVOLVE including
its content, technological platform, information architecture, etc.
EVOLVE Partner
Organizations receive a portion of donations and the purchase of
certain products offered through EVOLVE made by registered users
of EVOLVE who have specified one of the EVOLVE Partner Organizations
as their referring organization. In this way, we seek to provide
a win-win-win financial arrangement between FCE, EVOLVE Partner
Organizations, and our respective community members who elect to
participate in EVOLVE and contribute to our shared financial needs
through donations and purchase transactions.
EVOLVE Partner
Organizations are asked to promote the use of EVOLVE to their member
communities as a way of offering the services and resources provided
in EVOLVE to a wide variety of people. If you are interested in
having your organization become an EVOLVE Partner Organization,
please email us at fce@evolve.org.
EVOLVE
Principles and Values
The Creators
of and Participants in EVOLVE agree to interact and engage in accordance
with these essential principles:
The
Earth Charter – the first global charter to
express the core principles and actions required by humanity as
a whole to make the shift necessary to survive this period of rapid
change, acquisition of unprecedented power, and quest for sustainable
living for generations to come on our home planet. Please click
here to download the Earth Charter in PDF format, and visit
the Earth Charter website at www.earthcharter.org.
(Thank you to all involved in this vital work! Please endorse and
support it.)
Love
– the essence of all things life-enhancing,
nurturing, and in service to the well being of all others, nature
and oneself.
Joy
– the essence of all things liberating, life-affirming,
and enlightening as we learn to let go of old thoughts, trust each
other and the creative impulse of the universe, and be in service
to life in a light-hearted and illuminating way.
Peace
– the only evolutionary (i.e. long-term) option
available to human beings at this time of unprecedented crises,
opportunities, and transformation, with the art of non-violent communication
and action being the core principle of how we choose to be with
each other. Peace is both an empowered and active state of being
that brings balance and well being to life, and a passive inner
stillness that brings balance and well being to oneself.
Cocreation
– the act of engaging in a conscious creative
partnership with the innate impulse of creation, the intelligence
of nature and natural systems design, the intuitive collective consciousness
of humanity, and each person one encounters, from a place of essential,
heart-centered being. The fulfillment of the self-interest of the
individual concurrent with the fulfillment of the self-interest
of the whole (group, planet, universe) is at the core of the cocreative
process.
Resonance
– the principle of aligning one’s personal
essential, heart-centered being with that of others in a group,
wherein the collective consciousness of the group informs and guides
the interactions and decisions of the group and individuals in a
field of love and trust. Resonance is what arises when the energetic
(i.e. heart-centered feeling body) experience of being a human comes
into coherent union with other people, nature, and the innate creative
impulse of the universe itself. This then provides a cocreative
foundation upon which the brilliant capacity of human intelligence
can be called into service in conscious union with and on behalf
of the well-being of all life.
Synergy
– the natural principle of individual parts
(people, elements, etc.) coming together for a united purpose to
form a new whole that is greater than and (very importantly) unpredictable
from the sum of the parts when accounted for separately. This includes
the idea of Social Synergy which suggests that when people and groups
come together in a spirit of loving cooperation on behalf of the
greater good of all life, new and unexpected “magical”
results will arise.
Synchronicity
– the natural principle that the timing of
events unfolding in the ever-emerging and changing experience of
“reality” is tied into an implicate pattern of connections
and interactions beyond the typical linear concepts of time and
space. Another one of the “magical” aspects of life.
Both
/ And – being in a state of awareness that
simultaneously includes the perception and experience of polar opposites.
“I’m both depressed and elated at the same time,”
for example.
Trust
– with out it, the future looks bleak. Trust
is humanity’s greatest test going forward. This one word sums
up the core principle of EVOLVE and Conscious Evolution.

and Privacy Policy.
