Issue 13: Home

Making home is a creative process that requires vision and heart. In this issue of BESIDE, we explore the ways that home expands beyond four walls and takes root in the communities and environments of which we are a part.

Issue 12 – What kinds of power do we want?

Power. It’s a word that evokes control and oppression. But power has other meanings too. It can be inspiring, supportive, and constructive. It can lift us up. All of us. Most importantly, power can be shared.

In our 12th edition, BESIDE explores the many forms that power can take, especially when it is a force for good.

Issue 11 – New Times

It often feels like time is happening to us, a fickle and unforgiving force beyond our control. But there are other ways to experience it.

In this issue, BESIDE presents stories and essays about tuning in to time’s astonishing plurality: seasons and harvests, rocks and trees, rituals and traditions. Time spent creating and connecting; time saved or gloriously wasted. Because changing the world might just begin with changing our relationship to time.
