Self Mastery Instructor

Daniel Atlas is a native of Indianapolis, and moved to Bloomington to attend Indiana University in 2002. He graduated in 2008 with a double major, one self-created major focused on sustainability, organic gardening, and environmental awareness, and the other major in Religious Studies. While in college, he had a quest for knowledge/self-awareness and studied yoga, energy healing, and several forms of meditation, which led him to meet and begin studying self-mastery with Michael Grubb in December of 2010. He brings his love for all beings and desire to help others live happier, more fulfilling lives to Evolved Ministry.

His gardening expertise has been gathered within the last decade of organizing a student garden and working on multiple farms around the country. He focuses on organic gardening because it is a field of food production requiring little to no chemicals to grow a garden and is healthier for the environment and himself. Daniel's passion for growing food comes from the fascination of planting one seed into the soil and watching it grow into a bountiful plant, producing the tastiest food! Daniel sees the world as intimately connected and through each individual's choices, we can create a more sustainable future where food comes from the community and not large mono-cropped fields.
