Spiral Journey

Spiral Journey, a post-New Age networking periodical, serves the greater Seattle area of the state of Washington. Appearing ten times annually, Spiral Journey covers holistic health, New Thought spirituality, and alternatives designed to connect the body, mind, and spirit.

Each issue is built around a set of brief feature articles on various religious and health perspectives dominated by a New Thought positive thinking approach, chosen for their aim to empower and inform. There are also several regular columns, including a question-and-answer column by hypnotherapist Ayal Hurst, and an astrology-tarot column, "Astrocures," by health consultant Donna Pinkston, who is also Spiral Journey 's editor and marketing director. The sensitivity to a spectrum of alternative spiritual options is demonstrated in the inclusion of a "Totem of the Month" feature highlighting the symbolic significance of various animals.

Spiral Journey initially appeared in July of 1997, and grew out of the spiritual crisis that its editor, Asara Sharon Briski, had gone through in the mid-1990s. It is published at PMB 6121, 13300 Bothell-Everett Hwy., Mill Creek, WA 98012, and distributed free at a number of bookstores, health food stores, and other businesses in its target area. It is issued monthly, with combined issues in December/January and July/August.
