About Hyvemind

Hyvemind is an independent newsroom and storytelling platform working to build collective understanding around the systems and conditions shaping culture, identity, place and power.

Our newsroom brings together original reporting and contributions from our community of artists, educators, writers and civic workers who share editorial authority in shaping our coverage.

Together; we publish work that supports people in understanding themselves, their communities and the world they’re moving through so they can become active participants in building what comes next

Alongside our editorial work, Hyvemind offers scholarship and sliding-scale PR and marketing support for artists, nonprofits and underserved founders whose work strengthens public life.

We believe stories are one of the most powerful tools humans have to create change.

Hyvemind makes publishing more open so more people can share what they know.

What we do

We build containers for people to share, exchange, heal and grow through community-powered storytelling, spaces and resources that help us live, work and care better, together. We do this through:

  • Stories that map the connections between personal and systemic wellbeing.

  • Projects co-created with local contributors to amplify underrepresented voices and regional narratives.

  • Essays and multimedia exploring how art, design and media reflect collective resilience.

  • A growing community of grassroots groups, artists, helpers and community resources featured in our reporting.

WE DISRUPT THE SPIN
