About

The Edge is a monthly magazine that explores all aspects of holistic living – the experience of living authentically, the integrative approaches of complementary healing, eating consciously, the arts, metaphysics and the intuitive arts, our integral connection with nature, spirituality and the mysteries beyond.

The Edge is committed to sharing information, wisdom and resources with you. And, we are committed to businesses, organizations and individuals who support our collective journey to wholeness and balance. The Edge is only made possible through advertising and donations from people like you. We appreciate your support in allowing us to serve you continuously in print since 1992.

Contribute articles – submit them here on this site, or via email – and post comments about articles that inspire or inform you. Ask questions of the authors. Learn more. We certainly invite you to use our publication, in print and online, as a place to advertise what you offer your community. And we encourage you to read our publication. Bookmark our site and keep track of coming events and more Edge articles to read later. Let your friends know about us. Spread the love. Seek out our advertisers through the print and digital advertisements, and listings – and through their websites and physical journeys to their business sites – and find ways to support those who support us.

Above all, we welcome all souls – just as you are.

The Edge History & Demographics

Founded: The Edge debuted in the Upper Midwest as a free, bimonthly tabloid newspaper in August 1992 to promote the holistic community and explore the evolution of consciousness. A monthly publication since February 1993, The Edge was reformatted to a newsprint magazine in 2004.

Ownership: The Edge was sold by Gary and Insiah Beckman to Tim Miejan and Cathy Jacobsen in January 2009. Tim edits and produces the magazine and website, and Cathy is the business manager, and manager of sales and marketing.

Outreach: More than 40,000 people read our printed publication monthly in the Twin Cities…and beyond, and many thousands view our publication worldwide on our website. Demographically, more women than men read The Edge. Most of our readers have researched or use complementary or alternative healing modalities, purchase self-improvement products, buy nutritional supplements and place a high importance on the sustainability of our planet.
