I just got an email about a new Kid’s magazine published in Brooklyn
focusing on spirituality. It’s a non-profit, unaffiliated with any
particular faith and 100% ad-free .
KidSpirit Magazine launches nationally this month and features the work of kids from New
York and around the country as they focus on a broad range of issues
they encounter in their daily lives.
It started in Brooklyn Heights. For over two years a group of kids has been getting together to talk about life’s big questions, and now they’re sharing
what they found in the first-ever spirituality magazine generated by
youth. Through its open submission
process, the magazine hopes to garner contributors from all over the
country and even the world. Here are the ‘tails.
You can find out more at our website, www.kidspiritmagazine.com. We’re
just launching our premiere issue, Roots of Spirit, which engages with
complex issues including the relationship between spirituality and
food, climate change, and Tai Chi Chuan, and presents aesthetic
endeavors like original poetry, book reviews, and more. Each subsequent
issue will tackle a theme chosen by the all-kid Editorial
Board—upcoming issues include Science and Spirit, Myth and Meaning,
Change and Loss, and Competition and Achievement.KidSpirit has a dedicated base of young writers, most who fall into
the 11-15 age range, who would love to share their thoughts and
experiences with you and your readers. We hope that as more people hear
about the magazine, KidSpirit will foster a real dialog between today’s
young people and create a new space for conversation about the role of
all kinds of faiths in the lives of the next generation.
Very cool!
