Stay in the Light
Meet Your Guides
Every community has stories waiting to be discovered.
We're Wendy and Tony, the guides behind Lantern & Lore.
We created this space because we believe remarkable people are often much closer than we realize, and they simply need a place where their paths can cross.
Lantern & Lore is our way of expanding the discoverability of people, places, and moments that bring a community to life. We wander with curiosity, ask questions, follow interesting threads, and share what we discover along the way.
The best part of this work isn't telling our own story. It's having the privilege of introducing you to everyone else's.
Community Over Competition
When one of us glows, our community shines a little brighter.
Root for each other.
What We Believe
Lead With Love
Every business, gathering, and story begins with a human being.
Choose kindness, generosity, and respect.
Keep Wonder Alive
Stay curious and share ideas.
We all shape the collective consciousness.
Tend What Matters
Good things grow when they're cared for.
One thoughtful act at a time.
Grace For Growth
People evolve. Communities change. Embrace organic growth.
There's beauty in becoming.
Pass the Lantern
The best discoveries are still passed from one person to another.
Tell us about a practitioner who made you feel seen. A gathering you look forward to every season. A neighborhood shop filled with quiet treasures. A teacher, mystic, healer, or guide whose work deserves to be shared.
We're always looking for the stories, places, and people that help our consciously connected community grow. Your recommendation might become our next LORE spotlight story, helping them be discovered by more people in our circle of light.
Good Things Shouldn’t Be So Hard to Find
