Emergence Magazine

Emergence Magazine is a quarterly online publication with an annual printed edition. Each issue features a theme explored through innovative digital media as well as the written word.

We believe in the power of stories to help support an ethic of care for each other and the Earth. In an era of immense environmental destruction, fueled by finite and faltering narratives of progress and power, we look to stories that reveal the emerging connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality. Through Emergence Magazine, Kalliopeia is committed to creating a space where these stories can be shared, voices can be heard, and new ideas can be discovered.

What we need is a great, powerful, tremulous falling back in love with our old, ancient, primordial Beloved, which is the Earth herself.”
