Welcoming 2026, and ALITM’s new avatar!
Our visual refresh reflects an expression of a deeper intention—to connect, converse, and create community.
At the heart of the redesign is connection, and people—seekers, teachers, caregivers, travelers, and everyday practitioners of mindful living—reminding us that wellness is a shared journey, not a solitary pursuit. Sections flow organically from reflection to action, weaving together articles, interviews, events, and reader voices into one seamless experience.
More than a magazine, our platform is designed to be a gathering space—a digital satsang of sorts—where ideas are exchanged, stories are honored, and meaningful conversations are sparked. In a fast-scrolling world, we ask you to pause, listen, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Walk with us as we continue to listen deeply, share generously, and grow into a more conscious, connected way of being!
