01
THE PROCESS
We select one target culture and three social topics from this culture. We send you the background, problems, and related emotions people struggle with on each topic. You design and create messages around one or any number of given topics that resonate within you.
You send us mind-shifting work; we post select pieces on AHA social media platforms. We spread your work and messages around the world so we all can feel, see, get inspired, and change our ways.

THE WORK SHOULD BE
Honest, Emotional, Direct, Encouraging, and Expressive.
The work must have clarity in its message and encourage people to give pause, question their values, and ultimately inspire them to act consciously.

The reward, while not monetary, is enormous and worthwhile: the satisfaction of shaping better societies and liberating people from conditioned societal mindsets.
