Happy December, and Happy Holidays to all!

This is a great time of year to contemplate togetherness, collaboration and how a community can come together to better humanity. It takes a village to make meaningful change, but it’s possible and powerful to be part of bettering our communities. Read more in “Transforming Our World” on page 20.

Perhaps the best holiday gifts are not things, but experiences—or handmade items specifically tailored for someone in need. Check out the beautiful list of holiday volunteering ideas and experience “The Gift of Giving” on page 14.

Consider giving yourself the gift of better health and healing this year. Learn some basic mindset changes to further your wellness journey on page 16. Often times, we neglect ourselves during this time and focus on giving to others—but show your friend you didn’t forget them by gifting them a session with a wellness expert or service they’ve been curious about. If you’re holding this magazine, you’re in the right place for reaching all kinds of healthy living practitioners and businesses.

The holidays are notoriously an exciting time for good eating with friends and family. Check out eNaturalAwakenings.com for some fun and festive holiday recipes—with healthier twists.

Best wishes for a restful and enlightening holiday season filled with family, laughter and great food.
