Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
At Stained Silk Magazine, we believe that the pursuit of enlightenment is noble–but a little bit absurd. We publish essays that tackle serious topics of mindfulness, psychology, and philosophy without taking them too seriously. We aim to reflect on what it means to be a human with equal parts depth and irreverence. Stained Silk publishes thoughtful, provocative pieces that are introspective with a healthy dose of cynical self-awareness. We’re here for the over thinkers, the skeptics, and the seekers who seem to keep getting lost on the road to nirvana. If you’ve ever spiraled out during a Zen meditation, wondered whether your therapist thinks you’re funny, or rolled your eyes at a pop-psychology cliche, you’ll fit right in.
