Explore Books & IdeasA Special Edition allows Whole Life Times to assemble interviews, essays, books, resources and related material around one important field of inquiry. The result can then remain connected to the regular magazine, WLT Explore, Dialogues, Gaiarcadia and the wider Whole Life Universal Field rather than disappearing as a one-off publication.
From 2027 the regular magazine is intended to follow a dependable four-issue annual rhythm, while Special Editions can continue separately whenever a major event, theme or body of knowledge calls for deeper treatment.
