Acasma Community Anthology
Many Journeys. One Shared Expression.
Acasma Community Anthology Project
We are creating a community anthology, a published collection of stories, personal essays, poetry, reflections, and artwork from members of the Acasma Quantum Energy community around the world.
This project is an invitation to pause, reflect, and share how Acasma Quantum Energy has impacted your life experience.
Whether your experience has been profound, subtle, life-changing, or quietly transformative, we invite you to share it.
Your story does not need to be dramatic, polished, or perfect.
It simply needs to be honest. Your voice matters.
A Personal Invitation
Over the years, I have received thousands of messages from people sharing how Acasma has touched their lives.
Some of those messages I have carried with me for years.
This anthology is my invitation to gather those voices into something lasting.
Whether your experience has been profound or subtle, complete or still unfolding, I would be honored to consider your contribution.
I can’t wait to see what we create together.
Honored to be this space with you,
A.L. Garris
Why This Book Should Exist
For years, people from around the world have shared their experiences through emails, letters, voice messages, direct messages, testimonials, conversations, and unexpected packages.
Some stories have been profound.
Some have been quiet.
Some have been difficult.
Some have been joyful.
Each one has been unique.
Over time, we realized these stories deserved to be honored, preserved, and shared.
The Acasma Community Anthology Project was born from that realization.
This book is not about Acasma. It is not intended to explain AQE from the outside.
It is about the people who have experienced it. It is intended to reflect the lived experience of our AQE community.
Their journeys. Their discoveries. Their challenges. Their transformations. Their moments of remembering.
And the many ways those experiences continue to unfold.
Contributor Types
First-time writers, poets, and artists are highly encouraged to participate.
You may submit written work, artwork, or both.
We believe stories and creative expression reflect the diversity and individuality of our Acasma community.
Our intention is to create a respectful and resonant body of lived experiences that reflects the many ways human beings experience growth, awareness, healing, and transformation within the AQE community.
Submissions will be accepted from June 15, 2026 - August 31, 2026.
Created By Our Community
This anthology is more than a collection of stories.
This is a community-centered project from beginning to end.
Community members will also be invited to help shape the project through participation in the selection of:
Book title ideas
Subtitle concepts
Cover direction
Visual themes
Creative direction
The final book title and cover will be chosen with community input and participation along with editorial and publishing guidance.
Our intention is for this book to feel like something we created together.

Different Journeys. Shared Destination.
There is no perfect way to contribute.
There is no “right” kind of story.
There is no transformation that is too small to share.
Every contribution represents a unique perspective within the larger tapestry of our community.
This anthology exists because people have been willing to share their experiences, their insights, their creativity, and their hearts.
Whether your Acasma Quantum Energy experience has been quiet or profound, complete or still unfolding, your voice has a place in this collection.
If you feel called to add your voice, we ARE honored to consider your contribution.
Submissions will be accepted from June 15, 2026 - August 31, 2026.
You Don’t Need to Tell Your Whole Story
Many people hesitate to contribute because they think they need to write their entire life story.
You don't. Some of the most meaningful submissions may come from:
a single realization
one unforgettable moment
a piece of artwork
a letter
a photograph
a simple reflection
Start where your heart naturally wants to begin. Then flow into the prompts if they are helpful.

What did you need to unlearn?
What assumptions, expectations, identities, or stories about yourself began to shift?
How have your relationships changed?
Think about family, partners, friends, colleagues, community, and your relationship with yourself.
