Wellspringwords® Literary Anthology | Issue 3: “The Sensualist…”
In this Spring/Summer issue, we are exploring the embodied experience of inhabiting oneself. In this publication, we get to define the role of sensuality in our lived experience. Here is some guidance to consider as you prepare to submit your writing and visual art for this issue:
  • What are the roles of presence, anxiety, healing, and aging in your sensual expression?
  • What is a body in joy?
  • What is the language surrounding your body and its relationship with life?
  • Explore the experience of surrendering to sensation.
  • Explore the continuum of shame and pleasure.
  • We also welcome non-pornographic explorations of the erotic.
We joyfully welcome poetry, memoir/personal narrative, fiction, and experimental writing, all about what happens through your body, in your interior world, and in your material life on this unique journey of self-creation.
We want to read about you as The Sensualist. Through your writing, demonstrate your physical, emotional, and spiritual sensations — and your experience with sensation itself. We’ll choose a few pieces from each genre to publish in Issue 3, our Spring/Summer issue.
 
We also welcome submissions for stunning, authentic, and uniquely expressive visual art to be showcased within the issue – and for the cover of the issue, under the same theme.

Information about organization
Wellspringwords® is a spiritual development platform supporting writers & artists with Sacred inner-world cultivation through the magic and power of words. Through exploring our Literary Anthology, Creative Enrichment Studio, and Podcast, we hope you will find yourself at home individually and in community.

This is a space dedicated to holistic healing and liberation through narrative reclamation — mind, body, heart, and Soul. We know that the world needs authentic creative expression for humanity to come to a harmonious state. We also know that AI and robots will not facilitate the organic connection, healing expression, and transformative creation human beings are spiritually designed to create. We are proudly an AI-free zone. Wellspringwords® is here to help us remember, viscerally and deeply, that our creative power and wisdom are inherent to us — this creative power and wisdom need to be expressed, not only for our individual benefit, but for the health of the human species and its evolution.
