Wayfarer Magazine Issue 42

Since 2012, Wayfarer Magazine has been offering literature, interviews, and art with the intention to inspire our readers, enrich their lives, and highlight the power for agency and change-making that each individual holds. By our definition, a wayfarer is one whose inner-compass is ever-oriented to truth, wisdom, healing, and beauty in their own wandering. Our mission as a publication is to foster a community of contemplative voices and provide readers with resources and perspectives that support them in their own journey.

From 2002 to 2022, Connor Wolfe (they/them) is the Founder of Wayfarer Magazine. Wolfe's innovative approach to independent publishing led to two terms on the Board of Directors for the Independent Book Publisher's Association, a TEDx talk at Yale University, and studies at Harvard University through grant programs. After delivering a TEDx Talk in 2018 about their experiences with successive trauma, Wolfe was invited to participate in broader mental health discussions at state and national levels. Wolfe holds a degree in Abnormal Psychology, with a focus on the intersection of mental illness and creativity. Driven by their passion for art, Wolfe also pursued a focus in Photojournalism at Harvard, studying under Samantha Appleton, (a former Official White House Photographer for President Obama and the First Family), and has since gone on to become a landscape photographer. In early 2024, Wolfe worked as Volunteer Staff in the Collections Department of the Museum of Anthropology at Ghost Ranch with a team preparing sacred objects for repatriation under the newly updated Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. They are currently wintering along the Rio Puerco on Cerro Pedernal. Follow substack for the latest. thewildwolfe.substack.com
