Zen and Soul was an idea that came to me a few months ago. After being in the alternative and holistic field for a number of years, I was wanting a change and a redirection for my life path. After having studied design over 1o years ago, I wondered if it was possible to merge my two loves of Spirituality and Design together. After some research I discovered this did exist and it was called Holistic Interior Design. As I was already a writer on Medium, I decided to jump in the deep end and create a publication called Zen & Soul, as I had not located any publications that were similar to my vision. I later researched interior design publications. There are a few here on Medium, however, there hasn`t been much interest in recent stories related to Holistic Interior Design being submitted through these publications. I also noticed that the topic of “interior design has published 35.5K stories with 1500k followers. Holistic Health has around 3.8K Posts. I felt confident that we could bring the love of all things interior design back into forefront of readers and balance out what there already is here on medium, bringing more soul to the platform. Not that it doesn't have soul, it is more about bringing a wider range of readers that appreciated a holistic way of living that ties back to design.
