This fourth instalment of Let’s Explore Magazine looks into the theme of Empowerment, through 20 contributed stories by storytellers from across the globe. The variety of interpretations, thought-provoking essays, very personal curiosity-driven experiences and stunning images aim to inspire you to go on your own quest.
To help you document your own thoughts, this issue comes with a dedicated notebook, in which you can collect your ideas and make references to passages in the magazine. Being neatly tucked away in the back cover, you will always have your thoughts close to the original inspiration.
On this page, you will find highlights of the contents of the issue, information about conscious publishing and Friend of LEM options.
To thank you for your order at this stage, I have created some extra options you can choose from. And to top it off, with every pre-ordered issue, I will plant a tree on your behalf and provide you with a certificate of authenticity.

These unique Friend of LEM package deals are only available during the pre-order launch of the issue and include special perks as well as add some additional funding to the project. This way, I can limit my risks a little bit when investing in the initial production of the magazine.
As the magazine has gone to print, Friend of LEM options are no longer available for the Empowerment issue.
Friends of LEM help me to pay for extra’s like:
For every pre-order, I will make a donation to TreesForAll so that they can plant a tree in your name. I will provide you with a personalized certificate of the donation as well as a copy of the total amount of trees that have been donated by the end of the pre-order phase.
Besides that, this issue will be produced using a 100% climate-neutral production process; certified and traceable through NatureOffice®. A QR-code in the magazine will provide you with all the information about how and where the CO2 of the entire production process has been compensated.
This will not impact the price of the magazine.
