Reinventing Home was founded in late 2019 by a group of writers, academics, artists, and activists who believe that home is our primary attachment, setting the stage for lifelong patterns of intimacy and self-renewal, and determining the values of our culture. It arrived just in time to help our readers navigate their new home-bound status during the pandemic. Join us for an enlightened conversation about the way we feel about our nests and the larger issues that are shaping our sense of home — from shifting patterns of work to technology and climate change to life under quarantine, and beyond. Our contributors consider home as a personal sanctuary, a cultural salon, and an interactive hive—and also explore the broader notion of community and our search for belonging. But that’s not all. Home is an inexhaustible topic because it’s part of our never-ending quest for soul. From Homer to the Wizard of Oz, our stories, songs, and art have been about the quest for adventure—-and the endpoint of bringing our insights and our hard-won wisdom home. This digital magazine has been called “a thinking person’s guide to home” and “a mindful approach with a Jungian twist.” It embraces everything from the secret lives of our possessions to how household dust is related to the creation of the cosmos. We have received endorsements from best-selling authors Isabel Allende and Jean Shinoda Bolen. Phil Cousineau, host of Global Spirit on PBS, has called Reinventing Home “indispensable for our changing times.” A venture in non-profit journalism, Reinventing Home is generously funded by E. Patricia Herron, a former superior court judge in northern California, and by readers like you.
