Natural Awakenings Celebrates 20 Years


by Sharon Bruckman, CEO/Founder A


heartfelt shout out goes to the 90 U.S. cities


and metro areas across the country, plus Puerto Rico, where Natural Awakenings is effect- ing positive change in people’s lives. For 20 years, this free com- munity magazine has been loyal readers’ go-to resource for awakening America to the benefits of naturally healthy living. We thank our 3.8 million readers


that devour these pages every month, typically from cover-to-cover. We voice gratitude to the thousands of committed advertisers that report multiplied busi- ness success as a result of our partner- ship. We extend kudos to the hundreds of editorial contributors that have gener- ously shared their pioneering expertise with us via cutting-edge information and practical tips. Interviews and bylines of internationally recognized healers, teachers and leaders underscore the magazine’s primacy in its field. Collectively, we comprise a great


movement embodying ways of living that are healthy for people and the planet. Together, we are producing a pay-it-forward chain reaction of posi- tive energy and conscious living that benefits everyone. Each large and small choice in favor of natural health and environmental sustainability counts toward enhancing our own standard of living and supporting a higher quality of life on Earth.


It all starts with individuals waking up to conscious living and connecting locally to make measurable differences


in their own homes and communities. They are role models of wellness. They are eco-stars. They are visionaries that daily act on their passion for helping others live happier, healthier, more thriving lives.


What started as a single print publication in Naples, Florida, in 1994, is now a growing network spearheaded by 90 local magazine publishers reach- ing out to share the message. Supportive media range from digital magazine editions, e-newsletters, community websites and social media releases to an iPhone app, webstore and dating website, topped by a nationwide net- work of local natural health practitio- ners. All embrace the original vision of bringing like-minded people together to help make life better. We are glad that you are joining


us in celebrating 20 years together. We look forward to all the good that 2014 and beyond will bring to us all.
