Evolutionary is a word we hear more and more at the leading edges of progressive culture, but what does it really mean? Why is it important? Who or what is an evolutionary anyway?

Join Carter Phipps, the Executive Editor of EnlightenNext magazine, for a fascinating journey into the next wave of personal and cultural change, as he explores the subject of his forthcoming book: Evolutionaries: The People, Passions, and Perspectives That Are Shaping a New Synthesis of Science and Spirit.

In his ten years with the magazine, he has been responsible for some of its most in-depth investigative features, including the “The Real Evolution Debate,”a spiritual and scientific analysis of evolutionary worldviews.
