Hello, Positive Lifers! We are thrilled to share that our Winter 2020/21 issue is fresh off the presses. The theme of our Winter issue is ‘sovereignty’, and we loved reading our regular writers’ thought-provoking interpretations on this theme. Our cover stars this issue are Foster Gamble and Kimberly Carter Gamble, the makers of Thrive. They spoke to us about their incredible new documentary, THRIVE II, which puts forward startling and innovative solutions to many of the pressing issues we face in our world. Teal Swan spoke with us about the profound opportunities being offered to humanity at this time, while Mas Sajady discussed how our true freedom begins when striving ends.
