Who We Are And Why We Gather
This is more than a gathering — it’s a movement.
The Evolve & Unite Foundation is a nonprofit rooted in Oregon, rising to meet the mental health crisis with community, compassion, and creative healing. Through festivals, workshops, and immersive experiences, we create sacred spaces that invite people to reconnect, rise, and remember they’re not alone.
We are artists and activists. Parents and practitioners. Survivors and storytellers. And we believe in one powerful truth: Healing is a collective act of love.
