January 2025 - The Kicking off 2026 Issue

The January 2026 issue of Marion Mosaic opens the year with thoughtful exploration and local perspective, from a fresh look at the long-debated restoration of the Ocklawaha River and its potential economic impact, to reflections on mindfulness in an era of constant digital noise. This month’s features also dive into unexpected corners of culture, including the immersive world of live-action role-play, alongside voices from Ocala and beyond examining art, beauty, literature, food, science, and small business. With regular columns, community conversations, dining inspiration, and a full calendar of what’s happening around Marion County, January’s issue offers a rich, engaging snapshot of the people, ideas, and experiences shaping our region.
