AUTUMN 2025 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

• EcoTheo Review invites submissions of writing and visual art at the intersection of ecology, spirituality, and culture. For the Autumn 2025 issue, we also welcome themed submissions that respond to the concrete and abstract impressions of THRESHOLD.
• In ecological terms, a THRESHOLD can signify a critical limit, a tipping point where a system may fundamentally shift, or the dynamic boundary between distinct environments, like an ecotone. Spiritually, THRESHOLD evokes liminal spaces, moments of profound transition, or the initiation into new understandings of the sacred and our place within it. Culturally, it can represent a historical pivot, a societal breaking point, or the challenging passage into new ways of being and relating.
• We invite submissions that explore these multifaceted interpretations and more, and invite contributors to consider the following: What does it mean to stand at the edge of significant change—personally, ecologically, or spiritually? How do we navigate these critical junctures, and what new possibilities or challenges emerge from crossing them?
