ORION SOCIETY

Orion magazine invites readers into a community of caring for the planet. Through writing and art that explore the connection between nature and culture, Orion inspires new thinking about how humanity might live on Earth justly, sustainably, and joyously. We do this with:

∑ Orion Magazine—an award-winning, advertising-free bimonthly pushing at the frontiers of nature stewardship and social responsibility
∑ Bread Loaf Orion Environmental Writers Conference––an annual gathering of Orion's finest writers, editors, literary agents, and others to hone the skills of emerging and aspiring writers
∑ Orion Education—books, workshops, and programs that stress getting students out of the classroom to learn through projects done in the community. We call it place-based education.
∑ Orion Gatherings—events, meetings of educators and grassroots organizations, writers' conferences, readers' discussion groups, and online conversations that address key environmental and cultural issues.
Σ The Orion Book Award—annually recognizes books that use fine writing to reconnect readers with the natural world.
