Call for Submissions: Deep Times, September 2022

Frieda Nixdorf · Apr 5, 2022 · Leave a Comment

For our next issue, in September 2022, we are seeking contributors from all over the world, particularly outside the US, to show how the Work That Reconnects or other related or more ancient deep ecology ritual and practices are helping people grapple with the many crises before us all, how to stay connected or reconnect with earth and each other, and how to prepare or refresh ourselves for our role in the healing of the world.

Deep Times: Unraveling Patriarchy and Shifting the Paradigm

Frieda Nixdorf · Apr 5, 2022 · Leave a Comment

The theme for our current issue of Deep Times, Unraveling Patriarchy and Shifting the Paradigm, is now available.

The response has been heart-warming. We are grateful for all the submissions, both the ones we used and the ones we had to turn away or set aside for a future issue. We’ve put together a rich array of articles, essays, poems and artwork that address the challenge of unraveling patriarchy and shifting the dominant paradigm to one of reverence and respect for all life, based on our radical interconnectedness with our fellow humans of all cultures, ancestry, and identities and with all beings of Earth.

Connecting with Your Ancestors

Mutima Imani · Feb 21, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Our Ancestors are waiting for us to pay attention to them, to acknowledge them, and our lives begin within them. We carry them in our minds, bodies and spirits. They made great sacrifices and made great choices for us to be able to be alive. As we honor them, we honor the miracle of having a body, mind and a spirit. We become connected to a whole lineage and legacy that is manifesting in us.
