Towards was the brainchild of Clifford Monks, an Englishman living in California and Waldorf educator. This wonderful resource described itself as

a magazine for all who are striving for clarity and direction in meeting today's challenges. It exists to explore and make better known the work of Owen Barfield, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Wolfgang von Goethe, Rudolf Steiner, and related authors. Implicit and explicit in their work are achievements and goals which offer profound insight, guidance, and hope for all who are struggling with the essential challenges of modern life.

Owen Barfield was himself a frequent contributor (see below).

On its title page the following poem (Monks' own?) always appeared:


Self-Consciousness, the departure point;
Community, the destination,
And on the way the going to,
And through,
Imagination.
Towards was published periodically from 1977 to 1989. Below you will find an almost complete list of the contents of all the issues known to me.
