reative individuals that would like to see their work featured on the cover of a nationally distributed magazine now have an exceptional opportunity: Natural Awakenings is extending a call for cover art and photography and accepting submissions online via a dedicated webpage. The monthly healthy living, franchised publication, available free in more than 80 cities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, is known for eye-catching covers that feature original works by artists from around the world. “This is an exciting opportunity for artists and photographers to be featured on one of our covers and reach a huge new audience, because our readership exceeds 3.6 million,” says founder and CEO Sharon Bruckman. Selected artists that grant permission to print their work on a cover are featured in a one-third page, professionally written “Cover Artist/Photographer” editorial (bio) that introduces the artist and includes their website and contact information. Natural Awakenings covers reflect monthly editorial themes, and a variety of selections are distributed to all franchise publishers so they can choose which cover they want to run. “Our covers celebrate creativity and our mission of mapping out alternate routes to a healthier, happier, longer life that feels good all the way around,” says Bruckman. “Art and photography that are inspiring, uplifting and occasionally whimsical can unlock our imagination and nurture our spirit.” For mor e information, including a list of monthly themes, submission terms and format requirements, visit NaturalAwakeningsMag.com/covers.

or thousands upon thousands of years humans have pondered whether or not we may be reborn and experience many lives. The ancient Egyptians embodied the concept in the form of a Phoenix—still the universal symbol of reincarnation. Is it possible that forever experiencing an infinite number of lives might help us learn ever better ways to live, and gain, among an infinity of ongoing improvements, ever increasing world peace? What are your thoughts on the possibilities reincarnation offers? On Thursday, August 16th, from 7 to 8:45 p.m., the West Houston Theosophical Study Group will facilitate a presentation on Reincarnation. It will be at the Tracy Gee Community Center, 3599 Westcenter, near Beltway 8 and Richmond. You are invited. All West Houston Theosophical Study Center meetings are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Barbara at bwrtx2011@gmail.com or Flem at flem_de_graffenried@yahoo.com or 281-493-4542.
