Welcome to our virtual home. Odyssey Magazine is a place for you to explore consciousness and what it means to be human in today’s world. We hope you will find inspiration, hope and guidance for your own journey, wherever you are in the world.
We believe that exploring consciousness is not a walk in a pretty park on a perfectly paved path. Not in today’s world. It is a hike through the deep dark forest, sometimes on very uneven ground. Like any good guide, Odyssey is here to provide inspiration, tools and excellent company for anyone who chooses to live their life consciously, to make that trek. Our goal is to provide a wide array of food for thought, tools to try out and stories to learn from, no matter what stage of discovery you are in, personally.
It has been nearly fifty years since Jill Iggulden Stevens founded Odyssey as a print magazine, and the editors who followed her brought the magazine to life digitally. Odyssey has certainly been on a journey of her own over the years. Most recently, Debra Robins has kept the Odyssey vision relevant to today’s world via the website and the app version.
As we guide Odyssey forward, our commitment is to expand both her impact and her reach, in myriad ways. Our goal is to offer a beautiful prism of light shed on every aspect of consciousness, so that our readers have access to as many versions of the path forward as possible.
Rilke said, long ago, that “this being human is a guest house” and our hope is that Odyssey opens many doors to our beloved South Africa and her people, as well as across the world. We are delighted to have you join us. Welcome.
