mental athletic 2025:
find your path

As 2024 draws to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on another year of movement—physical, creative, and emotional—that has carried us forward in ways we couldn’t have imagined. This year has been a testament to the power of motion in all its forms, and we’re proud to share some of the highlights that shaped this journey.

The release of Issue 2 continued our deep dive into the intersections of culture, aesthetic and performance. The stories within explored resilience, innovation, and the unspoken connections that arise when we embrace dynamic living. It was a project that challenged us to think differently and inspired countless conversations within our community.

In the summer we headed to Chamonix, a place synonymous with exploration and pushing limits. There, a sound performance merged art and movement, accompanied by a zine that captured the story of innovation in design and its impact on creativity. It was a moment where tradition merged with experimentation, offering a new perspective on how we approach the act of creation itself.

This year also saw the release of two visual projects: Foam Mute and Grey Days. These films delved into the emotional and meditative power of motion, exploring the balance between rhythm and stillness, connection and solitude. Each project reflected our ongoing commitment to capturing the essence of movement through sound, visuals, and narrative.

In the fall, New York City became a canvas for our ideas during an unforgettable week of events. The energy of the city inspired a series of gatherings that celebrated creativity, community, and motion. A new zine launched during this time encapsulated the vibrant spirit of these moments, reflecting the culture and dynamism that define the connections we share.

Our editorial projects this year allowed us to document and expand on the narratives that emerge from movement, design, and performance. These collaborations explored the relationship between individuals and their environments, shedding light on how these elements intertwine to create powerful and often unexpected stories.

In Milan, we celebrated the intersection of performance and aesthetics with an installation that brought together elements of design and art using ready made pieces of the world of running. A sound performance immersed visitors in the installation and once again emphasized the importance of music and sound to us.

Meanwhile, our monthly gatherings remained a cornerstone of the year. These events became a space for shared motion and mutual support, bringing people together not only to move but to connect. They reminded us of the importance of community, the strength found in shared experiences, and the magic that happens when people come together in pursuit of something greater.

As we look back on 2024, it’s clear that the year wasn’t just about the milestones or events. It was about the energy that fueled them, the people who shaped them, and the stories that emerged along the way. Every zine, every gathering, every performance was a step toward something bigger—a collective exploration of dynamism and creativity.

None of this would have been possible without you. Your passion, support, and belief in what we’re building have been the heartbeat of everything we do. For that, we are endlessly grateful.

As we move toward 2025, we’re excited for what’s ahead. There are more stories to tell, new paths to explore, and countless ways to connect with one another. Thank you for being part of this motion, for stepping forward with us, and for continuing to inspire everything we do.

See you in the new year. Let’s keep moving, together.
