Please send us your creative reflections in the form of
poetry, musings, images, or audio/video recordings.

​

You can submit as much and as often as you like.There is no deadline. Your contributions will become part of the The Seed Game album which will remain online indefinitely, hopefully growing over time.

Suggestions:

​

  • Explore any theme, any aspect of The Seed Game that you can imagine, whether we've talked about it or not. You might  help us see something we haven't touched on in our Open Circles and Seedings.

  • Use this as an opportunity to discover other voices and perspectives within you. New ways of recognizing and describing the Imaginal, for example.

  • Self-criticism is probably the primary inhibitor of creative expression. This is not an exercise in aesthetics, but an exploration of the heart of your reality. So whether you consider yourself to be "artistic" or not is immaterial.

 

For inspiration see the Creative Journaling page

IMAGES TIPS

​

  • Most phones have really good cameras (both still and video) these days, no need for extra photo equipment. And there are free or inexpensive camera apps which can increase your creative range. (For example: Camera+ 2 for iPhone; Open Camera for Android.

  • Most tablets have cameras as well; plus there are a number of drawing apps that enable you to draw  and paint (with your fingers or a stylus) right on your tablet . For iPads  the app Procreate is pretty much all you need; for Android tablets — InspirARTion

  • Want to create an animated image? You can make animated .gifs for free, here: https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker ?

  • There are also collage makers online which might inspire montage making. (E.g : https://www.befunky.com/create/collage/ ) 

  • Want to add a quotation or other text in a fancy font to your images? You can do that easily here:  https://addtext.com/. 

Recordings, Music, Speech
 

The simplest way to send us recording is to use your phone or tablet to record and send it as an email attachment to puran@sufiway.org.

​

You can also use Zoom to record (audio and video) and send us the link you recive from Zoom after you've done. If you use Zoom please indicate if you wish both audio and video to be posted or just the audio.

RECORDING TIPS

​

Phones and tablets come with simple apps which allow you to record your voice and even do some editing. More advanced apps like Voice Recorder & Audio Editor  for the iPhone & iPad, or Rev Audio & Voice Recorder for Android have added convenience and editing features.

​

No need to be overly concerned with the audio quality so long as there is little or no background noise. In most cases we should be able to improve the sound quality before we post on the web. You can significantly improve the audio with most devices by using an external mic.

 

Here are some ideas of what you might record: 

  • share some poetry or passages from relevant works; 

  • describe what you see in the Imaginal; put into words a particular experience of Imaginal contemplation; 

  • give us your thoughts on how we might be more aware of the interplay of Imaginal and material realities;

  • tell a story, imaginary or recounting a memory;

  • music or song.
