Produced by Evolver Bay Area [http://evolverbayarea.com/]
Welcome to HiveMind, where you can learn with hands-on workshops and talks, connect with like-minded people, receive healing and nutrition, art, dance, and be.
HiveMind provides a forum for networking and coalition-building in the Bay, expanding the impact of holistic solutions.
Several organizations will be present to share their work and build community. Our intention is to bring people together around the convergence of technology, healing, arts, local economy, and sustainable farming. Through gathering together and sharing with each other, we build a strong collective action network in the Bay Area and celebrate the brilliance and passion of Evolver community.
Evolver is for Evolving consciousness, individually and in collaboration. We look forward to waking up with you.

About Evolver:
"What we require is a trans-local movement of civil society, on a global scale, where people come together in local communities to address the complete scope of our situation in "living learning laboratories," sharing the best practices and techniques for re-localizing basic production of goods, foodstuffs, and energy. We need a movement away from the industrial-age ideals of growth, toward "slow living," toward enhancing the quality of life, and an equitable sharing of resources on a planetary scale.
The Evolver Network provides a prototype for a self-organizing social movement that meshes together local communities who are creating an alternative model for future society, which we call "The New Planetary Culture." -Daniel Pinchbeck, Evolver Co-Founder and Executive Director

2013-08-22 "State and Federal Police Crack Down on Burning Man in Unprecedented Show of Force; One of the most peaceful and long running festivals in the country is under attack by police, with early arrivals experiencing a show of force like they have never seen before"
by JG Vibes from "Intellihub.com" [intellihub.com/2013/08/23/state-and-federal-police-crack-down-on-burning-man-in-unprecedented-show-of-force/]:
Burning man and other similar art and music festivals generally have very peaceful and safe endings. The most common dangers with any of these events is the fact that police like to target the people who attend them. In recent years as the drug war police state has escalated, they have become more aggressive with these events, setting up illegal checkpoints, illegally entering onto private property without permission and senselessly using violence or threats of violence against nonviolent people.
Aaron Muzslaski a Burning Man regular made the following post yesterday ("Dispatch from Black Rock City: The pigs are here at Burning Man" from "BoingBoing" [boingboing.net/2013/08/21/dispatch-from-black-rock-city.html]): [begin excerpt] The pigs are here. And uncommonly badge heavy. Earlier tonight, the #BLM pulled over El Couchino for a registration violation. In 18 years on the playa, I’ve never seen a more aggressive police presence than what’s been going down today. Deeply upsetting, outrageous stuff. One DPW member was issued a $275 ticket for urinating on the playa, and threatened with being forced to register as a convicted sex offender. (a note for people not familiar with Burning Man, the “Playa” is what Burning Man attendees or “Burners” call the land that this event is held on.) I suspect this is fallout from the lawsuit BMORG won against the BLM earlier this year. Whatever the cause, know this: Law enforcement is going to be VERY AGGRESSIVE at Burning Man this year. Keep your shit as right as you do back in the world. Don’t give them any excuses. Be extremely cautious, and MAKE SURE TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Things are changing. #BM2013 #LEO #police IF YOU DO GET STOPPED: Make sure to file an incident report with Burning Man. And before you get here, LEARN YOUR RIGHTS. [end excerpt]
In response to this unprecedented show of force, volunteers and workers nearby are calling for a general strike, with some of them organizing and refusing to set up the festival until the police promise to keep off the playa and let the Burning Man crew handle security inside the event.
In a recent interview a spokesperson for the group “Reform In Our Time” said that ("Busting Man: RIOT Calls for General Strike at Burning Man" from "Burners.me" [burners.me/2013/08/22/busting-man-riot-calls-for-general-strike-at-burning-man/]): “Our demands are simple: We want law enforcement excluded….. The problem is a huge growth in outside law enforcement officers invading the playa, not the money it costs. We would really appreciate them if they stayed outside and only came in when we really wanted them to. If the cops would leave their badges and guns at home and just be burners like everyone else in BRC, we’d welcome them just like we welcome anyone else. We’d even build them a Donut Camp! We’re not against cops necessarily, we just don’t want outsiders doing law enforcement in our city. We have everything we need to take care of it ourselves without any outside help!”
Last week at a conscious music and arts gathering in Ohio called “Rootwire” police invaded the property and arrested or fined 80 people for nonviolent crimes ("80 visitors to Rootwire Music Festival charged" from "Logan Daily" [logandaily.com/news/visitors-to-rootwire-music-festival-charged/article_2647a82e-3f31-5187-b86d-f274dbdcba5c.html]).

The August event is in collaboration with: The North Bay Institute of Green Technology [https://nbgreeninstitute.shutterfly.com/]; The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, an unholy alliance of governments and big business continues to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, people all over the world are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future.

Our Hallowed Ground - The Love Balm Project on Oscar Grant
[www.facebook.com/events/271873689621925]
Saturday, August 24, 4:00pm
Fruitvale BART Station 3401 East 12th Street, Oakland, California 94601
Our Hallowed Ground is a series of site specific performances based on the testimonies of Bay Area mothers who have lost children to violence. These performances, curated by The Love Balm Project, will take place in the spaces where the young men were murdered to commemorate their life, the memories that their mothers still carry, the communities that witnessed their death and the sanctity of the ground on which they stood. Come join us on our hallowed ground to bear witness. Join us at Grant Station, Fruitvale Station, to hear and see a life changing experience. We will honor Trayvon Martin, Alan Blueford, and many others with a vigil and speak out to what you can do in this movement of change. We all have to get involved.
