SPRING 2025 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

• The theme of our Spring 2025 issue is RESILIENCE. 
• EcoTheo Review invites writing and visual art submissions that respond to the theme of RESILIENCE at the intersection of ecology, spirituality, and culture. Ecological systems are defined by their interdependence and capacity for self-regulation, qualities that allow them to persist in states of flux. Within these systems, each organism—however small—plays a role in maintaining resilience. This constant ebb and flow, the movement between periods of stability and instability, is the essence of ecological equilibrium.
• In spiritual terms, resilience means more than survival. It’s the ability to adapt, to thrive amid adversity, and to recognize our place within a vast web of interconnected life—an understanding that we are not separate from the divine. Given this, how do we find our place in the world? How do we understand our purpose, harmony, and dissonance within the framework of ecological resilience? How do we navigate the ever-shifting cycles of change—ecological, spiritual, political, and personal?
