The journal of the explorers of consciousness

The Spiritual Explorers

Mapping the territories of consciousness.

A magazine for those who seek the light without losing rigour: retreats, breath, meditation, sacred places, rare voices. We are preparing its next season, denser and more embodied, connected to the body that carries it.

The next season

Five territories in preparation

Each territory already has its first pages, written from the sources and verified. They will return together, linked to one another like a map of the sky.

  • The Explorers

    Portraits of those who bridge body and spirit: Thich Nhat Hanh, Gabor Maté, Rupert Spira, Ram Dass, Simone Weil and some fifteen other voices.

  • The Practices

    Guides written to be practised: breath across five traditions, seated meditation, yoga as a path.

  • The Places

    An atlas of some sixty retreat houses, from south-west France to Bali, Mexico and Costa Rica: what is lived there, for whom, at what price.

  • The Explorations

    Long-form essays on states of consciousness, non-duality and living traditions.

  • The Gatherings

    The summits and festivals where the highest levels of wellbeing meet, from ALMA to Wonderfruit, chosen one by one.

While the journal recomposes

Meanwhile, the body first

Every inner exploration begins with a body that is nourished, rested and present. This work is lived every day at Virgile Health & Co, the house that publishes this journal.
