Welcome to Light on Light!
We’d like you tell you more about who we are
What we call today “the Light on Light family of publications” evolved over the last several years. It began with specialty publications from our media, interspiritual and social activist partnerships initiated with both VoiceAmerica and UNITY EARTH. A series of initial publications companioning our “Convergence” programs on VoiceAmerica, or with and about “Convergence” global events and with the UNITY EARTH partnership, resulted in some one hundred thousand listeners and readers.
It became obvious that our conscious sacred and spiritual magazine and internet radio activities were filling an important gap in media. So, in 2018 we formalized our associated media to include our three magazine imprints: The Convergence (emphasizing sacred activism), Light on Light (emphasizing spiritual practices and inspired lifestyles) and our latest imprint Conscious Business (emphasizing conscious business, economics and policy). Just as The Convergence and Light on Light grew from our associations with the global interspiritual and sacred activism communities, Conscious Business evolved from a series of events and activities with the world’s conscious business community. The Convergence on VoiceAmerica continues as our global audio voice. In 2020 we added the Light on Light Press, in collaboration with, and as an Imprint of Sacred Stories Publishing.
So, when the wider UNITY EARTH partnership was formed in cooperation with over a dozen other large global NGO’s, we formalized as “Light on Light” among the partners of UNITY EARTH.
