Dear Natural Awakenings Readers and Friends,

It is the start of the new season in New York and it usually brings on an onset of new goals and projections for the future months of inward time spent during the colder months ahead.   There are many exciting events going on in New York this month and in the months ahead that are outlined in this issue.  May you use this magazine as a creative tool to outline and fill your calendar with a chock full of exciting and inspiring events to keep your vitality alive and ever growing.

This month, Natural Awakenings is proud to be a sponsor of National Yoga Month for the 3rd year in a row!  Free classes and events are being held throughout the city, as well as nationwide and you can take advantage of the One Week Free Yoga Card program during the months of September and October!  For more information, see pages 10-11 or visit YogaMonth.org

Did you also know that during this month we honor World Peace Day on September 21st?  Well, New York City painter Franck de Las Mercedes did!  He combined a pair of hopeful concepts—world peace and free art, and decided to spread good will on earth through art! To see his truly fascinating creation and read his inspiring article, see page 17! 

As we navigate you into the turn of season in New York, we wish you health, healing, happiness, wellness, creative inspiration and much abundance on your future journeys!

Feel Good, Live Simply, Laugh More,

Tina Woods
