The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic
Chakra Activation & Storytelling
with Evolver & Co-Founder Jonathan Talat Phillips

When Jonathan Talat Phillips experienced a devastating loss as a countercultural media activist, he unwittingly embarked on a mystical journey marked by underground ayahuasca ceremonies, kundalini awakenings, prankster spirit guides, shapeshifting extraterrestrials at the Burning Man festival, and miraculous energy healings that reshaped his skeptical worldview. In The Electric Jesus (edited by bestselling 2012 author Daniel Pinchbeck), Phillips chronicles the rise of an international movement that is trailblazing visionary ways to address our current planetary crisis through raised consciousness. Phillips delves into his own Christian background, discovering the lost rites of the mystery schools and their secret “electric” messages concerning personal transformation and a potential evolutionary shift for our world.

The night will open with musical performances by Miranda Rondeau, Sunny Solwind and Dylan Byrne and a chakra activation to get our energies flowing, followed by a reading, and a community discussion about the Evolver Social Movement and a rising consciousness culture flowering across the planet.
