Issue 10 Call for Submissions
In Issue 10, we are exploring the concept of Sacred Spaces. We are inspired by the visualization of Assagioli’s blossoming rose:
“Now gaze into the very center of the rose, where its life is most intense. Let an image emerge from there. This image will represent what is most beautiful, most meaningful, most creative that wants to come to light in your life right now.”
-Excerpt from “One Flower Opens, What We May Be, Pierro Ferucci p133)
Ideas we would love to see explored include:
- Where is your sacred space in the physical world? A church, a library, a favorite café, a mountain hiking path, a messy kitchen rich with baking possibilities?
- How do your sacred spaces nourish and revitalize you?
- What mindful decisions, habits or rituals are you doing to create a sacred space within or without yourself?
- How do you mourn and cherish lost sacred spaces and still draw strength and inspiration from them?
- How do you grow a mental boundary between what is harsh, negative and unhealthy in your life to make space for what is kind, inspiring and productive?
- How do you visualize your own internal sacred space?
We accept fiction, nonfiction, visual art, and poetry of all flavors, from free verse to found. We are also interested in submissions that include raven artwork.
Submissions will be accepted until June 30th, 2019. To see our submission guidelines, please visit us at: http://www.youngravensliteraryreview.org/
