This month, we’re looking at the subject of Wellness Travel. That is, traveling with a self-care purpose. This could be spiritual, mental, physical or otherwise. Our main article on page 20 highlights nine destinations across the world that would make for great pilgrimages on the path to spiritual enlightenment—including nearby Sedona!

    

Another local shout-out this month comes in the article “Understanding Light Pollution”. The nonprofit International Dark-Sky Association is based in Tucson, with a grassroots network throughout the world. They are responsible for issuing certification to places like Montana’s Medicine Rock State Park as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary. Learn more about light pollution and how to help keep artificial light to a minimum on page 26.

    

Of course, we’re also highlighting some upcoming local events starting on page 8, and even more in the Calendar on page 28.

    

Take a wellness trip the next chance you get—whether for a day, a weekend or longer—and let us know how it changes you.
