Evolve + is an energetic based social media platform that welcomes you to a community whose interests align within the body, mind and soul connection. Topics range from signs and symbols from the afterlife, mediumship, astrology, tarot, numerology as well as meditation exclusively curated by Psychic Medium John Edward. Books, movies and television spark water cooler conversations where our members can discuss the lessons the characters experience, how we learn from them and how we can learn to better ourselves over time. We can also learn how to better empathize with those around us, who are going through the same experiences and evolutions as we are. The cosmic weather and the patterns of astrology that affect us all prepare us how to dress our perspective in our everyday lives as well as derive significant lessons to find understanding through our challenges. Through this, we will be able to shift the energy around us and prepare for a better way to protect ourselves during any vulnerable or difficult times. This work is all about generating and protecting positive energy, and learning where to place or protect that energy at any given time. Through self-reflection, meditation and truly realizing what it means to evolve, we learn that the path forward is attainable for everyone. Your path may be rocky, or barely ready to support you, but the road is never truly closed for those willing to make the positive shift in their lives. The more you spread positive energy while protecting your own, the more your road to your true self becomes more realized. Contributors and guests include therapists, healers, palliative care practitioners, astrologers, psychics, authors, numerologists, and YOU the member. Evolve + members will have the ability to watch previously recorded experiences via audio/video as well as join exclusive LIVE virtual events throughout the year (as available) PRICING INFORMATION: The app includes a subscription to unlock premium content. $19.99/month, $199/year for extra content.
