OUR STORY
Evolutionary Education® is an integrative, experiential learning institute that melds together the wisdom of science and spirituality, east and west, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern. We teach life skills and empower individuals and organizations with tools and strategies for healthy, sustainable, (r)evolutionary living based upon the principles of deep ecology and non-duality: our interconnectedness with each other and the natural world.
OUR VISION
Together, we are imagining a brighter future. Our trainings, retreats, workshops, consultations, special events, and online resources are designed to honor the complexities of cultivating holistic health and ecological awareness in the 21st century. We are committed to helping build supportive, forward-thinking community, and to providing educational opportunities for all people irrespective of age, race, gender, class, creed, or prior experience.

TIM BECK, PhD
Tim Beck, Ph.D., is a teacher and researcher in the areas of psychology, philosophy and cultural studies. He currently teaches courses in Abnormal Psychology, Social Psychology, and Personality Development in department of psychology at Landmark College in Vermont. His research explores the healing potential of ecological and expressive arts approaches to mental health care, particularly in cases of developmental disorders like autism-spectrum disorder. He previously spent several years as an Instructor at the University of West Georgia, and worked in the fields of education and community mental health with various groups of high school students in the SF Bay Area. Largely because of his experiences there, much of his work today contributes to the goals of the neurodiversity movement, which strives to promote the intrinsic value of variations of neurological development that do not always conform to standard social molds.
