Vision: American unity

Who We Serve

American unity happens when we take steps where we are to bring it to life. It’s that simple, and that difficult. Unity therefore requires deep spiritual, contemplative roots. And unity is necessary to uphold the US Constitution.

We help Americans take steps where they are to bring unity to life by giving congressional staff, executive branch employees, and other professionals in American politics regardless of party a creative outlet to write. They craft timeless stories and articles that are faith-rooted and elevate the human experience across a variety of issues. Then we edit their articles and compile them into a beautifully photographed and designed illustrated journals that Americans across the country will love to read, keep, and share with their friends to be inspired on their journey towards unity. And finally, once we have each volume available on our website, we give 20% of the donations made for each copy to partner organizations* who are already creating a culture of unity across the United States.

We take guidance from spiritual guides like Henri Nouwen and Richard Rohr at the Center for Action and Contemplation to act on the mission to inspire American unity through a deeper, foundational, and transformative approach to the conflict of life. Driven by a love for artistic excellence because of the love that God our Creator has for us, we build endurance as we create a new ethos of American self-governance to make our country more just and free for the next generation.

Commit & communicate.

Unity pursued amid diversity for a common purpose; relational humility; forgiving in the knowledge that we have been forgiven

Pray in nature.

Complexity’s creative reward when understood and mastered; the spiritual relief of seeking the Kingdom first

Endurance in life’s journey; all-around fitness; the joy of intentionally experiencing beauty as we trailblaze new endeavors
