The American Center for Wellness & Spirituality Inc (ACWS) is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting the well-being – physical, emotional, and spiritual – of the populace. More expansively, we aim to foster interfaith harmony and peace in the world as well as do our bit in healing the earth.
ACWS fulfills its mission primarily by providing information, inspiration, and practical knowhow through its web magazine, ALotusInTheMud.com.
Offline programs such as meditation/personal growth/conflict resolution workshops and conferences, in-person and virtual, are also planned even as we grow our audience – both visitors to the paywall-free website, and free-to-subscribe newsletter, ‘The Lotus Bloom’.
Alotusinthemud.com is an online wellness, personal growth and spirituality magazine. It casts its net wide, presenting the most relevant stories ranging from meditation going mainstream to the latest apps to induce calm, from the happiness insights culled from the Scandinavian countries to the ‘God spot’ in the brain discussed by neurologists.
Alotusinthemud.com is founded and helmed by Parveen Chopra, a media maven with expertise in the body-mind-spirit journalism, a niche that has been expanding since the Covid19 pandemic. He also has a track record of starting successful publications as editor in India (‘Life Positive’ magazine) and in the USA (‘The South Asian Times’ weekly and ‘One World Under God’ monthly journal).
A long-term project of ACWS is ‘Light on Enlightenment’ – Oral History of experiences of long-time meditators. When completed, its archive will be made available for public view by housing it on the platform of a national-level institution.
A registered 501(c)(3) corporation based in New York, ACWS is non-sectarian and non-partisan. It is guided by a board of trustees and advisers who are well-known faith leaders, spiritual teachers, experts in holistic health, personal growth trainers, and philanthropists.
Contributions from like-minded individuals, corporations and institutions are welcome.
