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.
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 our life under quarantine. Our experts will show you to make your place a personal sanctuary, a cultural salon, and an interactive hive.

This digital magazine has been called “a mindful approach to home with a Jungian twist” that embraces everything from the secret lives of our possessions to how the dust underneath the bed is related to the creation of the cosmos. We have received endorsements from best-selling authors Isabel Allende and Jean Shinoda Bolen, and 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.
