Dear Adhara Friends ,
Dear Adhara Friends ,
Happy New Year !
I am so proud and excited to present the first issue of our newest way to offer supportive content to enhance your spiritual and wellness explorations !
Part digital magazine and part digital catalog , you ’ ll have the opportunity to get to know Adhara as a brand , meet three of our featured Wellness Leaders , receive content to inspire your journey towards selfactualization , and peruse offerings from each of our 40 + Wellness Leaders , ranging from meditation teachers , health coaches , energy healers , life and career coaches , tarot card readers , astrologists and more .
Each quarter , we ’ ll explore a different facet of selfactualization , our favorite topic and my personal practice as a human and spiritual being .
In this inaugural issue , we cut right to the chase by centering the theme on feeling alive , a major component of self-actualization that Abraham Maslow , the scientist who coined the term , thought to be one of the key characteristics of a self-actualized person .
It ’ s a big topic ! And because we are all unique individuals with unique perspectives , we hold an infinite number of ways to feel alive . But no pressure , we chose three to start our journey through the experiences of three of our inspiring Wellness Leaders .
Mahri Relin , Founder of the dance / fitness method Body Conceptions , takes us on her journey to find alignment and flow in her body and in her life . Sarah Anne Stewart , Health Coach and Founder of the Holistically Slim movement , shares her journey to fully expressing her emotions . And Leila Johnson , Founder of the handcrafted beauty line , Folk Ayurveda , offers personal guidance to connect with nature .
Get to know how to use your breath to connect into your own body and the messages its telling you through our Bond Bond column , learn how Adhara ’ s head of Communications , Elisa Negrin , feels alive in the midst of our changing world , and find out what makes me feel the most in my raw and in-depth piece .
We ’ re proud to offer a container to talk about the aspects of life that intrigue us the most , and are so appreciative of your ongoing support and excitement for the brand . As always , we want to hear from you and better learn how we can support each other on the greatest journey of our lives – to our selves .
With love , Alaina
