Guidelines
Becomings is now open to submissions.
We'll read your poetry, prose, and writings. We'll also look at your visual art in all media, watch your short films and listen to your songs. All we ask is that you keep your submissions to a manageable length and quantity.
Please submit your work to becomingscollective@gmail.com. If you feel for any reason that you'd rather your work be published anonymously, we can make that happen. Please disclose this to us upon your first submission so that we can honor your request.
The majority of the written works we receive are in English, but we are open to work in any language.

What we're looking for
We want art that evokes a capacity for something more - art that brings us closer to the more in the universe around us, and the more within the others among us. We want art that enjoys getting lost in mystery. We want art that embraces qualities of heart and mind that lead to a more spiritually engaged, emotionally intelligent way of looking at the world. Some examples:
attention - beauty - being present - compassion - connections - devotion - enthusiasm - faith
forgiveness - grace - gratitude - hope - hospitality - imagination - joy - justice - kindness - listening
love - meaning - nurturing - openness - peace - play - questing - reverence - shadow - silence
teachers - transformation - unity - vision - wonder - x, the mystery - yearning - you - zeal

Becoming is turning into something - changing shape - developing - growing.
We want to see your becomings in your work, and we want to be challenged to change by your work.
