It was 30 years ago this month that Natural Awakenings was first launched in Naples, Florida (see Sharon Bruckman on Celebrating a Labor of Love). We offer a heartfelt thank you to the loyal readers that have come to know and love this media brand and allowed it to flourish. We are deeply grateful to the advertisers and community partners that promote green living, healthy people, healthy pets and a healthy planet with their products, services and information. Without them and the readers that support them, this magazine could not offer outstanding journalism and inspirational content each month without cost to the community.

As has been the practice for the last 30 years, Natural Awakenings continues to adapt its concepts, content and communication to reflect the needs of our community without losing sight of our mission. This month’s new look is the first of several exciting enhancements that are coming in 2024.
