Editor’s Letter Mindspace Editorial Editor-in-chief: Maryluz Menendez Deputy Editor: Ine Førland Sub-editor: Carly J. Cochrane Mindspace magazine is about living in the present. It’s for people who are, or want to be, more mindful of themselves and the world around them. It’s about being ethical and present, thoughtful, and aware. Features Feature Editor: Luisa Di Nonno News News Editor: Malika Kingston Mindspace focuses on both mental and physical health. This is in part because we believe the mind and body go together, and so should be treated as such. Mindspace was born out of the thoughts and teachings of mindfulness, a mental practice that promotes self-awareness and conscious actions instead of subconscious reactions, and little to no self judgement. Art Art & Design Director: Zoila María Checa Molina Social Media Social Media Editor: Lara Marie McComish We aim to promote a sense of social responsibility in our readers. We are not islands floating out in space, and while it’s true that we experience life in a way that is uniquely and completely our own, we do not exist in a vacuum. Our actions and their reactions have consequences that can be felt around the world. So how exactly will Mindspace promote this kind of social and mental self-awareness?
