Magazine

Pathways Magazine is a FREE quarterly journal and resource guide published seasonally for the greater Washington DC area. We are committed to providing the public with free access to local resources and specific tools for improving quality of life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is our intent to accomplish this by sharing information and ideas, and providing space—in the print world and the digital realm—for others to do the same.

The articles and resources in Pathways demonstrate an ongoing commitment on the part of individuals to participate and connect in a spirit of unity, cooperation and understanding, and to maintain a high level of integrity, responsibility and service. Pathways is an outlet of mutual support. We have been serving the DC area since 1979! 

Today, Pathways has a fresh new look and format to reflect our complex current world and global connectivity. You’ll see elements of the magazine’s traditions alongside new features and new formatting. We intend to keep growing, exploring and evolving for many years to come.
