Welcome Warriors & Call for Submissions (Revised for campaign launch 2024)

Welcome Warriors — Matt here, the director of RootsToSky.com and the upcoming InspiredLiving.studio and senior editor of this publication.

Our community believes that by cultivating the soil of our lives — mind-body health for our unique beings — and then adding a little guidance, clarity and determination to our path, we can blossom into our greatest potentials: heart-based presence, compassion for self & others, sustainable living, and wholistic success.

Sound new agey? We’re everything but.

We seek to reclaim terms like “inspired” and “warriors” from influencers; to validate traditional medicines against colonialism and quackery; to separate the misfiring of conspiracy theories from anti-capitalist activism. We seek actual structural solutions to the problems we face today and in our colonialist past, and how they are interlinked. And in doing so we aim to regenerate our inherent human need for community especially as a tool for legitimate mental health support in this era of social media isolation. We have an Inspired vision of a sustainable Mutual Aid world, and act as Warriors in our own to help build it.

Because “Inspired Warriors” understand the interconnected Roots of the issues we face today. Because Herbs & Nutrition ties into Fitness which ties into Mental Health which ties into Relationships which leads to LGBTQ+ rights which leads to Anti-racism which ties into First Nations which ties into Sustainability which leads back into Health & Wellness — of people and planet.

And “Inspired Living” is practicing and embodying these visions of a new world, reaching our Sky. Because struggle to Live Inspired is universal.

OUR COMMUNITY FOCUSSES ON:

• What inspires & motivates you
• Empowers activism in all its forms, from direct democracy to mutual aid to direct action
• Returns you to presence, heart-based living & productivity
