The Goruck Challenge

Our staff members work behind-the-scenes, creating our books, editing the pages, designing the layout, or helping the office and company run smoothly from all departments.

While we work hard throughout the week, we also have employees who challenge themselves outside the office.

Callum, from our IT department, participated in the Goruck Challenge in San Francisco this past Friday, and had been training for this event for quite some time with physical trainers from Corey's Gym (conveniently close to our office).

Several of our staff members have been training at this gym together, supporting one another and continuing to get stronger and healthier through a Crossfit program.

Callum's team was supporting the Green Beret Foundation, a non-profit, 501(c) 3 foundation that provides financial resources, immediate need supplies, caregiver assistance, and educational scholarships to wounded or ill Army Special Forces warriors and their families. 

Check out the Flickr photos from the Goruck Challenge and make sure to subscribe to our blog to learn more about what our staff members are up to along with more info about our new books and upcoming titles, many of which also go to support non-profit organizations that give back to our community.

The Golden Gate Bridge turns 75

This year marks a wonderful anniversary here in California, one that holds a particularly special place in our hearts, since the Golden Gate Bridge is practically in our backyard! The Mandala Publishing / Earth Aware Editions office is located in San Rafael so the backdrop of San Francisco, including the magnificent bridge that is turning 75 this May, is something most of us see on a daily basis.

Statistically, the most photographed bridge in the entire world is the Golden Gate and our photographic collection by Morton Beebe and edited by Peter Beren, shows the glorious bridge from different angles, never seeming to capture the same bridge twice.

Many events and celebratory exhibits are taking place in honor of the 75th anniversary of The Golden Gate Bridge, culminating in San Francisco with the Golden Gate Festival on May 27th.

You can share your Golden Gate Bridge photos by tagging them on twitter, with the #GoldenGate hashtag or posting them to your favorite photography board on Pinterest.
