What Is Enlightenment? is not a spiritual magazine.

Well, it’s not just a spiritual magazine. It is a spiritual, cultural, philosophical, and otherwise category-busting magazine committed to bringing a new perspective to politics, business, science, the arts, and the environment. It is also an international speakers forum, an online media broadcast station, and a master’s degree program. And it just keeps growing.

WIE is the engaged, evolutionary movement that has emerged from our passionate pursuit of the question of what enlightenment really is, and what it means in the world today.

At its core, WIE is about finding new ways to think: new answers to the difficult questions that are the challenge of our moment in history. Those answers, we strongly believe, can only be found by looking freshly at the emerging reality around us, without relying on older solutions that were sufficient for simpler problems.

And what we need are not just answers, but new ways to find those answers. This is the real mission of WIE, for which we need not only radical individual creativity, but radical collective engagement.

Join us!

There are many ways to join the WIE culture. You can subscribe to the magazine, join the WIE Unbound broadcast service, or donate your time or money. We even have discussion forums, called Enlightened Communication, in cities the world over.

We need you! Your participation in this evolutionary unfolding is the key to its success.

Who are we?

WIE is produced by a surprisingly small team, many of whom are volunteers. Our work is inspired by and guided by Andrew Cohen, who is the visionary, creative driver, and revolutionary spirit behind the WIE mission.
