Since 2012, The Wayfarer Magazine has been offering literature, interviews, and art with the intention to inspires our readers, enrich their lives, and highlight the power for agency and change-making that each individual holds.

By our definition, a wayfarer is one whose inner compass is ever-oriented to truth, wisdom, healing, and beauty in their own wandering. The Wayfarer’s mission as a publication is to foster a community of contemplative voices and provide readers with resources and perspectives that support them in their own journey.

In addition to our signature features, commentary and poetry, in this issue we look towards the Southwest, offering interviews with poet Frank LaRue Owen, award-winning spiritual author Mirabai Starr, and acclaimed conservationist author Stephen Trimble.
