Odyssey Magazine

Odyssey Magazine Conscious Living Magazine est 1977. A magazine dedicated to ‘moving toward a new age.’ Since 1977 much has changed and much has remained the same.

Odyssey Magazine is a South African platform for mindful living, creativity and growth — connecting seekers, thinkers and creators across the world. We invite you to live kindly, gently, and more consciously with Odyssey Magazine

The inspiration for launching Odyssey in 1977 was to publish a magazine, with solid journalistic integrity that supported the equality of all people, the honouring of ea

rth and all living things, and societal transformation. In 2022 Odyssey Magazine still has maintained a traditional journalistic approach with content that counts and nourishes and is mainly concerned with the practice of providing news, reviews, columns, features, and related social and wellness content, voicing certain issues that are prevalent in the holistic, conscious and green living space. Odyssey supports engaged spirituality, the active engagements of our hearts, and awareness in service of the higher and collective good, honouring the sacredness of our Earth mother and all living things. It’s a deep commitment to societal transformation responding to our world’s suffering with wisdom and deep care. Traditional journalism focuses on the important stuff that is happening, not only on our planet and in our world, but outside our windows, in the lives of our people, in our communities, and right here in our own hearts. That’s where Odyssey comes in.

You cannot make space for the new while holding on to everything from the past.

Month 3 is about shedding.

Releasing what no longer serves.
Creating space for what is to come.

What are you ready to let go of?

Many of us learn how to survive before we learn how to be present.

We learn how to brace.
How to perform.
How to anticipate what comes next.

But presence asks something different of us.

It asks us to soften without collapsing.
To stay without armouring ourselves.
To trust the moment without preparing for impact.

What if separation is the illusion and connection is the truth?

In this conversation, Mpumelelo Kurata shares a perspective that invites us beyond labels, beyond division, and into a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another.

A moment to pause. Reflect. And perhaps remember something ancient within yourself.

🎥 Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

What does “all is one” mean to you?

Allowing is not giving up.
It is choosing to meet yourself where you are.

What happens when we stop forcing transformation and begin making space for it?

In Week 7 of Transformation of You, Christa Gumede Buthelezi explores the sacred practice of allowing ourselves to be met with compassion, curiosity and love.

This weeks podcast episode.

Christa sits with Ntomb'Yelanga The Zulu Budha poet, performer, educator, and guardian of indigenous stories.

Rooted in culture, spirit, and truth, this conversation moves gently through memory, identity, storytelling, and the importance of preserving the wisdom carried through oral tradition.

It is a dialogue that reminds us that stories do more than entertain,they carry ancestry, belonging, and the quiet teachings that shape how we understand ourselves and one another.

Listen.
Reflect.
Connect.

There comes a moment in every transformation where the healing is no longer about forcing, fixing or becoming someone else.

It becomes about allowing.

Allowing yourself to feel.
To soften.
To stay with yourself gently and honestly.

This guided meditation with Tia Wiblin Innate Healing invites you into the second stage of metamorphosis: the Space of Allowing 🌊

Watch the full meditation on YouTube.

What’s something you’re still trying to force, fix, or fight… even though it’s already asking to be accepted?

Peace doesn’t always come from changing your circumstances.
Sometimes it comes from loosening your grip.
