Positive Futures wishes to share and appreciate the tales of those who have chosen an independent, alternative way of life for themselves. The stories are as varied as their characters. The inaugural issue delves into the lives of Alaska's most isolated family, a traveler's cave in Portugal's Algarve, and the psyche of a South American shaman. Michael Zair, who helped develop the "Intentional Community" in the UK in the 1990s, explains what it takes to establish an off-grid colony. As a reader, you rapidly begin to doubt your own way of life. The magazine may assist in recognizing the beautiful variety of human existence and returning to the here and now in a daily life that sometimes seems to have no other option.
