Mind Body Globe

Mind Body Globe is an experiment in connection: world-changing ideas from everyone, everywhere.

We’re at a crossroads, fighting with fear, a broken system, and the struggles of modern life.

Our mission is to scour the world for meaningful ideas about the human experience, while helping others to live well and explore this planet for themselves.

Mind Body Globe started as a childhood idea for a glossy coffee table book, and eventually grew into a platform for sharing diverse perspectives from every culture.

By building bridges and connecting with others, we approach a better, more complete world.

I’m Adan, a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, and traveler, and the founder of Mind Body Globe.

Growing up against a background of diverse cultures and communities, I developed a passion for finding the commonalities between us.

A lot of factors shaped my experience — my lifelong love affair with martial arts, my work in the hip hop community, and the years I spent in China as a founding member of new media publication RADII.

Working as an overseas journalist, I did a little bit of everything.

I trained kung fu at the Shaolin Temple, and studied obscure Chinese opera under the art form’s last living master. 

I spoke with award-winning carbon scientists and energy healers, rappers and CEOs. I shmoozed government officials, and dodged encounters with literal secret agents.

In the end, it became clear that we all have a piece of the puzzle to share.
