The Tone of our Journal: The Wayfarer’s mission is to chart the way for change by building and empowering a community of contemplative voices. A wayfarer is a wanderer whose ability to re-imagine the possible provides the compass bearings for those on their way.
The Wayfarer is the literary magazine of Homebound Publications. The journal is released quarterly at the turn of each season. We publish a high quality journal of literature and art that inspires and points the way for visionary yet practical change. We seek to explore the spiritual progression we are currently experiencing as individuals and a global community.
