Alternatives Magazine works (and plays) with the ideals and activism of the emerging culture. We are a forum to express and/or locate the holistic ideas, practitioners, products and events that support a life well-lived. Alternatives for Cultural Creativity recognizes that, from the context of "dominant" American society, an integral culture is emerging. Concerned with values of spiritual transformation, ecological sustainability, holistic health, political and economic justice, self-actualization and authentic expression, enlightened parenting and truth-based intimacy, we are open to the ecstatic possibilities. Alternatives Deadlines to submit ads are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 (or shortly thereafter). Regarding health-related articles, always consult your health care provider before beginning any self-treatment program.
