Spiritual Magazine By Kids For Kids Launches

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.
