Natural Awakenings Publishing Corporation (NAPC) recently welcomed new publishers that completed a training program in early December at the corporate headquarters in Naples, Florida. NAPC staff spent several days with entrepreneurs launching a new Natural Awakenings edition in the Dominican Republic and those taking over publication of the existing Western Michigan and North Central Florida magazines.

Founded by Chief Executive Officer Sharon Bruckman with a single edition in Naples in 1994, Natural Awakenings has grown to become one of the largest, free, local, healthy living lifestyle publications in the world, serving nearly 4 million readers each month via 95 magazines serving cities across the U.S. and in Puerto Rico.

“Living a conscious lifestyle that supports our well-being and the sustainability of Planet Earth has become more important than ever,” says Bruckman. “Our dedicated family of publishers, supported by loyal advertisers, connects readers with the resources they need to create a healthier, happier world that works for all living things.”
