Odyssey Magazine Autumn Edition #249
In this edition we take a look at the ‘Stages of Life’ and hone in on the ‘Attention Crisis’ at all stages. In the Wellness Within segment we bring you the sheer joy of ‘Slow Travel’ and take you on a journey to the Pyramids across Africa in the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ article. The overarching theme of this edition highlights how the decisions we make today affect our planet and our people and the universal intelligence to make these decisions lies within each and every one of us. Our personal decisions: What we eat, how we travel, and what we buy, contribute to our overall environmental footprint, as does how we nurture our sustainability. 
“Odyssey Magazine, formed in July 1977, is and always has been, targeted at the conscious individual who is pursuing, or would like to embark on, a holistic, green and healthful lifestyle to enhance both their personal wellbeing and that of our planet. Odyssey Winter 2025, our next edition, will be our 250th edition.” Ed

Odyssey Summer 24/25 #248 - 2025 Its’ Time…
Odyssey Magazine publishes the 250th edition in July 2025 and we commence our 49th journey around the sun. The age of consciousness has dawned, the time for all of us to take responsibility and move forward  with unwavering courage and authentic and ethical purpose. What a joy it is, as a conscious community, to be able to influence and better the lives of those around us. 2025 holds infinite potential and we share stories and provide solid input on superabundance,  in which we encourage the release of a scarcity mindset and explore manifesting more than sufficient of everything we need and desire in 2025. We journey through mystical intuition, travelling with one of our leading authors, to ‘The other side’. Wellness Within takes us into Africa, showcasing the thought leaders and a with wealth of retreats and immersions that exist not only in South Africa but on the continent we call home. 
Wishing you and yours superabundance in 2025.

In the Spring 2024 Edition, issue # 247 of Odyssey Magazine we focus on ‘The Art of Retreating’ and the new wave of wellness getaways that focus on self-care, joy and nature these are a fantastic way to flex your joy muscle. The biggest scourge in the western world is loneliness! retreats, purposeful gatherings and festivals that promote community with like-minded people and that embrace the power of sharing, integration and listening, are a source of immense joy, and flexes our joy muscle even more. With the explosive blossoming of flowers and as our “Earth Laughs in Flowers”, as penned by Ralph Waldo Emmerson, our joy muscle flexes more readily. Flowers… beautiful flowers, in this edition we take a look at the incredible healing power of a flower, not only the exquisite colour and joy that they bring but also in their role in our overall wellbeing, powerfully so, when combined with meditation. In reverence to our earth and in ‘Embracing our Green Economy’, I remember the words by W B Yeats in the poem ‘The Cloths of Heaven’ - “Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” This poem alludes to Mother Earth’s sustainability and taking only what we need from her. Ask yourself: “How light is my footprint on our life sustaining planet?”

Winter 2024 #246 - A tree cannot survive winter without healthy roots and neither can we. ‘Wellness Within’ is under the spotlight and we also feature ‘Cannabis Therapy’ in this bumper edition. Winter invites deeper reflection and is an opportunity to rest and reconnect with what’s vital in our lives. This edition’s wellness insets and features not only offer ways to enable our immune systems to thrive but also promotes wellness in all areas of our lives. We explore ‘Wealth Wellness’, asking, ‘Do you Money Well’? Winter lends itself to rest and reconnection to what is vital to each of our lives, offering us an opportunity to choose to be in alignment with our own soul’s journey. We share ‘The Energy of our Thoughts and Words’ and invite you to travel with us on ‘Wellness Wild Retreats’ and discover leading ’Retreating Places and Spaces’. August is also the KwazuluSpirit Festival, hosted by Odyssey Magazine, and the full programme is inside this edition. Join us this winter for a personal journey of discovery. 
Stay warm and well, Ed.

Odyssey’s Autumn Edition #245 explores ‘Conscious Choices’.
We all want to live well. But sometimes it’s hard-going: The media, our fast-paced society, technology and the responsibilities of daily life… It can be an overwhelming realisation that true wellness comes from within. In this edition we explore ‘Conscious Choices, the Power of Self-Awareness’, ‘Eco-Habitats, a Lifestyle Choice’ and ‘Wellness Travel’ alongside all of our regular segments.  Going forward we will bring you a new and innovative segment in which explore ‘Wellness within’ and all of its facets. We first have to attain wellness within, in order to experience optimal wellbeing for our unique body and being, essential for living an engaged, happy and fulfilled life. 
We know you will enjoy reading this autumn 2024 edition as much as we enjoyed crafting it for you. Ed and the OM Team

In this our Odyssey Summer 2023/24 Edition # 244 we share the science of joy, what joy is and the unboundedness of joy. We explore conscious conservation as well spiritual and wellness travel, including a poignant and powerful personal experience in ‘The Africa I See’ account of self-liberation. We take you on powerful healing journeys and bring you face to face with imposter syndrome. We touch on the reality of mental health challenges at this time of year, how to reach out and how to support those who reach out to you.

This edition is a gentle reminder that in the summer of our lives we say goodbye to a long, inwardly-focused time of self-reflection and open ourselves to receive the fiery energy of the sun, moving us forward, cleansing every fibre of our being. This season is a powerful time to shine, manifest dreams and to embrace spiritual transformation.

The Odyssey Magazine Spring Edition #243 is themed ‘Arise Awake’. 
“Spring adds new life and new beauty to all that is”. In spring we are likened to a bud preparing to burst into bloom, able to arise awake, feeling the life force lighting up our personal spirit and we are filled with aliveness as is nature. It is a time of newness of everything - fresh, vibrant and striving to grow upward toward the sun, toward the light in the same way as we transition from a restful, winter slumber.
 In this edition we feature Brett Shuttleworth of Smiling Soul Retreats in Wavelength, My Story. Brett Shuttleworth’s remarkable journey from KZN farm-boy to spiritual teacher is an awakening story of love, transformation and the pursuit of a higher consciousness.  
Not to be missed, we feature Part One of a profoundly significant trilogy. The Rhisotope Project – Science Saving Rhinos, Rhinos Saving People, People Saving Rhinos. Spearheaded by Professor James Larkin, Director of Radiation and Health Physics unit at the University of the Witwatersrand, assisted by a team of passionate, talented and highly qualified conservationists, this is conservation at a level that surpasses everything that exists both locally and internationally. The photo gallery of the KwazuluSpirit Festival 2023 is on the last two pages of this edition which brings the celebration to life. We trust you will enjoy this edition as much as we enjoyed crafting it for you. Spring blessings, Ed and the OM Team

In the winter edition of Odyssey Magazine, issue #242, we feature the ‘Great Ozone Debate’ and share an article on the ‘Ancient Awareness of the Power of Belief’. And our conscious parenting segment takes a look at the ‘Enigma of the Vagus Nerve’.
With the spotlight on “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food”, we feature food, stress and human immunity, we share an inspirational conscious and holistic weight loss journey in Wavelength and explore super-powered immunity, natural remedies for viruses and superbugs and the power of pro-powered microorganisms like fermented foods and how to make Kimchi. We take a look at intuitive eating, paying attention to every experience related to eating, including taste, emotions, thoughts and how your body responds to what you eat. We introduce the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung on obesity in a book called ‘Food Glorious Food.’
Celebrating Women! August is women’s month, honouring all of the women in our lives we share a global conscious travel segment ‘When Women Gather.’

Autumn is a season for balancing light and dark, letting go and accepting the impermanence of things. A time to reflect, release and receive. 
     In this edition we explore the role of the ancient masters and their influence on the shamans of today. A Near Death Experience (NDE) segment asks the question: ‘Does consciousness extend beyond death’. Ecovillages are in the spotlight in two articles: An experiential piece ‘Living Intentionally in an Ecovillage’ and another, ‘Living and Loving Life’. Globally people are grappling with loneliness, isolation and, very often, food insecurity. Living in an intentional, traditional urban community enhances the social culture, alleviating many of these challenges. Our ‘Wavelength’ guest column brings home the stark reality of mental health.
    Home, parenting and relationships covers a vast range of topics including: Cultivated meat - a most contentious issue - conscious parenting and conflict resolution and intimacy beyond sexuality.

2023 - Time to recharge, reset and restart 
Living consciously and walking gently upon the Earth, sees us making sustainable choices that affect all aspects of our lives; these choices dominate our inner dialogue and decisions. What we drive, how we recycle, reuse and repurpose, what we buy, what we eat, how we work, engage and travel. What we listen to, view and read. In this summer 2022, 23 edition we place the spotlight on Enlightened Business and we feature Fabulous Fungi, exploring all things mushroom, edible, medicinal and psychedelic. When considering travel, environmental factors like carbon emissions, waste management and off-grid offerings are a dominant factor, as is the desire to support sustainable businesses and conscious communities. In 2023 we will explore travel options across our vibrant planet; in this edition, South Coast KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa’s Bali.

It’s springtime, time to awaken from our winter hibernation, renew and restore. 
In this edition we feature African Botanicals, Flower Power: Sharing how to make flower essences and highlighting the benefits of essential oils in the treatment of mental health. This edition is also packed with uplifting and inspirational writings for nourishment of body, mind and soul.
At Odyssey Magazine we take a traditional journalistic approach, with content that counts and nourishes and is mainly concerned with the practice of providing news, reviews, columns, features and related social and wellness content, voicing certain issues that are prevalent in the holistic, conscious and green living space. 
Odyssey supports engaged spirituality, the active engagements of our hearts and awareness in service of the higher and collective good, honouring the sacredness of our Earth Mother and all living things. It’s a deep commitment to societal transformation, responding to our world’s suffering with wisdom and deep care. 

Odyssey Winter Edition #238   
Thich Nhat Hanh left the earth plane in January this year; this renowned ‘father of mindfulness’, passed at the age of 95. The celebrated Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, poet and peace activist was known throughout his life for the practice of ‘engaged Buddhism’. He also authored many writings, including a collection of insights titled How to Love, the inspiration for this feature in this edition. We also feature Vietnam in our eco-travel segment.
What is love exactly? It has been defined and redefined ad nauseam, its psychology has been dissected and applied to philosophical frameworks and - did you know? - a mathematical formula has been devised for attaining it. And yet anyone who has fallen in love - or out of love, for that matter - knows that love remains elusive, the most confounding mystery of our human experience.
Showing up and facing off with this mystery take us into the real and raw of aspects our being, often unwittingly into a primal dance of life.  We commence this dance solo, with ourselves first, self-love is the purest and most powerful love of all and most of us need a ‘kick in the pants’ in the self-love and self-esteem departments. 
Music therapy takes centre stage. In this edition we take a look at music therapy, recognised as a mainstream therapy to help individuals address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs.
Winter places the spotlight on professional coaching, asking the question: What is coaching really?

In the autumn 2022 edition #237 we feature Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems. In Ayurvedic tradition autumn is ruled by the airy, mobile Vata dosha and, whether you love autumn or dread winter, you will feel more balanced with a few simple nutritional and lifestyle changes that the principles of Ayurveda support.  We place the spotlight on ‘Walking with the Masters’ and feature Paramahansa Yogananda, considered one of the pre-eminent spiritual figures of modern times and BKS Iyengar, founder of Iyengar Yoga, featured in a 1979 Odyssey interview and since his passing his influence is still apparent. In 2004 Iyengar was named by Time Magazine as one of the hundred most influential people in the world.
    Then we travel from ancient times and Ayurveda to present day, highlighting the modern practice of Biohacking, an underground movement founded in 2000, that is now open, accepted and practised by millions of people around the globe and in South Africa.
“Biohacking is best described as the art and science of adapting and assessing your internal environment (your body) and external environment (where you live and work) and making the necessary changes to optimise your mind, body and soul.” Steve Stavs.
  This edition is packed full of book giveaways and sumptuous foodie insets, with wedding feasts and eclectic nuptial ideas in ‘My Wedding, My Way’.

In the Hello Summer, 2022 edition #236 we take a look at wealth and overcoming the fear of money and address self-doubt and rebuilding belief in oneself. Our health segments focus on heart matters and the wellness benefits of great sleep. And our Clinical Casebook focuses on the healing power of the arts. Relationships and sexual intimacy feature from a Tantric perspective and we share the ‘10 Commandments of Attraction’ with you.
Meditation, self-care, self-love and the need to release in order to move forward and just to ‘be you’ come under the spotlight in this edition. Life Alignment is our modality of choice and we introduce you to the incredible field of neuro-coaching which embraces the very latest neuroscientific research.  In our conscious parenting segment we explore how the Enneagram promotes better parenting. 
As always we take you on a journey to our eco-destination of choice and in this edition we find bliss in the tranquil and pristine Seychelles Islands. Salads take the centre stage in our food segment and we introduce you some plantaliscious vegan smoothies and light meals for poolside festivities, ‘Tis the season after all! Wishing you all god health, unbounded joy and amazing abundance in 2022, Ed.

Great content that nourishes, inspires, uplifts and informs is what sets us apart.
Our success in these unusual times is attributable to the cumulative contribution and commitment of the dedicated Odyssey Magazine team, our conscious thought leaders, writers and columnists. 
The Spring Edition #235, is centred on recovery, restoration and the renewal of body, mind and soul, with gentle loving kindness toward ourselves and others. This spring we find our hearts’ in Japan and we introduce two new vibrant and fresh columns Money Alchemy by Wealth Expansion Coach, Kiki Theo and The Wilderness Within by Spiritual Ecologist Steve Hurt. We feature conscious dementia care and neuroplasticity; and turn the spotlight on the BodyTalk modality designed to integrate all fields of healthcare to create a complete approach to health and wellbeing. Reset, restore and renew with us thus spring.

We welcome you, our reader, on many odysseys with our thought leaders and contributors; providing nourishing content in all areas of holistic, conscious and green living with a strong focus on both planetary and personal wellness.
