What Is Enlightenment? (magazine)

"What Is Enlightenment?" (or "WIE") is an international magazine devoted to spirituality, culture, and the growing integral movement, published quarterly by EnlightenNext, a nonprofit organization. The magazine, which first appeared in 1992, was founded and is still guided by Andrew Cohen, an American guru of evolutionary spirituality. The current executive editor is Carter Phipps. Each issue features articles by, and interviews with, various integral and "cultural creative" thought-leaders. A regular feature is "The Guru and the Pandit," a series of dialogues between Cohen and American philosopher Ken Wilber.

Produced in Lenox, Massachusetts, "What Is Enlightenment?" is sold at North American retail stores such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, Chapters, and Whole Foods. The North American edition is also available at retailers in Australia and the UK. In addition to regular foreign print editions distributed in Greece, France, and Germany, many articles are available online in Spanish, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Turkish, Croatian, and Hebrew translations. Most of the North American edition's back issues are available to read on the magazine's extensive website.

"WIE salon" discussion groups are held frequently in major cities worldwide, including New York, Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., San Francisco, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Zurich, Tel Aviv, and Rishikesh.

In 2006 and 2007, "WIE"'s website won the "Religion and Spirituality" People's Choice category of the Webby Awards.

In the fall of 2008, "What Is Enlightenment?" was renamed "EnlightenNext" magazine.
