From taking a look at the boldest emerging fashion and design trends to a coffee in Paris with Angelina, my fictitious traveler so in tune with her surroundings, this issue gives you a small glimpse at the subtle changes that are so easily missed if we are too busy taking care of the things that we're expected to take care of, as opposed to observing the world we're in while doing them.
Read MoreEcosystems are not only "nature" and separated from us. People are an active part of them, and more. Homes themselves are ecosystems in their own right, and living in tune with our surroundings - and with ourselves – has never been easier.
Read MoreIn pursuing healthy longevity, researchers increasingly emphasize the interconnectedness between maintaining optimal energy levels, avoiding excessive relaxation, and sustaining an active lifestyle.
Read MoreEnergy. Longevity is energy. So how do you maintain it, gain it, enhance it, and harvest it to live your best life up until the end? Science has started to prove what we suspected for a long time: slowing down too much is your fast ticket to the grave.
Read MoreThis magazine is dedicated to the power that comes out of designing a space of belonging, to the energy that comes out of a creative life, to the mental health that can be nourished and maintained through living inventively, surrounded by things that matter and staying dedicated to only what you want to give a damn about.

Read MoreEthereal, I lift from the ground up, my parts loosening up, floating away, like off a spaceship out in the universe, as I spread myself thin in the air of my home. I land on familiar surfaces that hold me gently. My fingers on the paint of the walls, my foot slightly touching, my mind, decomposed, recomposed skimmed out thin like jam on hardwood floors, for others to step onto, and as I learn their knowledge, my mind hardens and reshapes itself above, gulping down everything and spitting it out again. Making and remaking myself every day.

Vibing well is an awesome ride to catch upward, not something to bathe in like a stagnant pool after a summer's shower rain.
Read MoreDitch the packaging! Leave the plastic and cardboard food containers at the store, take the time to take the lettuce out of the box and leave the box.
Read MoreWinding up the hill in the fairytale of winter where forests filled with the chirp of sparrows line up the long, asphalted roads peppered with few cars and happy ski-goers heading for the slopes, the pure, unadulterated experience of nature only slightly adjusted by humanity, not enough to pollute but good enough to get us around.
