About Aligned explores the crossroads of well-being, culture, and social responsibility. Established in 2014, we are a community of creatives, activists, storytellers, and truth-enthusiasts. We entangle timeless, inner wisdom with the demands of a pivotal now through articles, interviews, poems, and other media. We ask how each of us might embody a spirit of radical change–to live at the center of the edge. We ask how creativity and imagination can be both a practice for the present, and a platform for the future. We dig past a palatable happy-wellness to a place of fierce, collective wholeness. We believe there are many ways to heal. Many ways to express humanity. Many ways to be aligned.
