An Emergence
/Greetings friends,
It is a joy for me to take this first step in reaching out to you. This communication has been a long time coming! I hope these words find you well amidst these times of challenge for so many on planet earth right now.
Firstly, I notice a desire to make contact with you. Here. Now. With this breath…
...and this one.
We are together. We are alive. Thank you for being there. Thank you for receiving these words. I offer them with gladness and humility and a desire to communicate something of value.
Here are some questions I’ve been dancing with related to the state of our world at this time:
What is mine to do? What is my work?
How am I being called forth to constructively participate in the unfolding human and more-than-human story?
In what ways, if any, might my fears be obstructing my true power and capacity to contribute to the wellness of my community?
What I want to share with you today is, in part, my response to some of these questions.
I’ll start by sharing that I am interested in relationships—the relationships we have with ourselves, our human community and the earth. I believe that one of the foundations for a healthy planet starts, at the most fundamental level, with the cultivation of these relationships. In service of that, I am now offering relational group processes online, via Zoom, which can support our capacity for deep connection and authentic relationships with our fellow humans. I am also offering one-on-one transformational coaching for anyone interested in getting direct, heart-centered support in creating the most wakeful and inspired life you can imagine for yourself. And last but not least, I have, for the first time, some personal musical releases which I’m thrilled to offer to the world!
You can learn more about my coaching practice here, get more info on my groups here (or skip the reading, and simply sign up here), and if you are curious, I have articulated my story about how I got into this work here. Additionally, you'll see on my events page that I'll be offering some free guided meditations live on Zoom in the coming weeks so please drop in if you'd like to practice in community––no previous meditation experience is necessary.
Regarding my music: I have released a live, mostly improvised, ambient set that I performed with my dear friend Kyle Liss for a yoga class in Denver last year, Ambient Yoga Journey Vol. 1. I have also released my first ever solo work, an EP called Early Works, which I composed and produced back in 2009 - 2010. Electronic music had long been a passion of mine and Early Works represents my first foray into producing my own. These songs, 90% complete, sat on a hard drive for 10 years. Now, amidst the pandemic, I felt inspired to complete them and get them out into the world. At present, they are only available via Bandcamp, and while I intend to get them onto the various streaming services eventually, sales through Bandcamp have a more direct financial impact for me. I really appreciate your support and would love your help spreading the word about my music!
In the future, my communications will likely come from Mail Chimp and may be filtered to your promotions folder so please keep an eye out for those if you want to stay in the loop with my communications. And finally, I want to ask for your support with expanding my reach on Facebook. Unfortunately, I can no longer access my previous artist page and have to start over from scratch. If you are a Facebook user, I would really appreciate it if you could friend me here in support of expanding my reach again: https://www.facebook.com/michael.rempel.779
With a bow of gratitude,
Michael
