GEEZ MAGAZINE is a quarterly magazine of spirit and social action. It’s for over-churched, out-churched, and perhaps even unchurchable souls on the North American fringes of faith. In its five years of existence it has won “Best Spiritual Coverage” by Utne Independent Press Awards, “Magazine of the Year” at Canada’s Western Magazine Awards and top honours at the Canadian Church Press Awards. Our office is located in a back room of an old church building (Knox United) in Winnipeg’s downtown, across from Central Park.
