Summer Reflections and Exciting Upcoming Events 🌊


Greetings Reader,

Welcome back! This is my first newsletter since the summer, and I’m excited to reconnect with you. I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful experiences we shared over the summer and share what’s coming up next.

Summer Highlights:

This summer has been filled with beautiful moments, including:

  • Soundbaths at Alchemy of Breath Camps @ ASHA: I had the privilege of providing soundbaths for both groups and individuals, creating serene spaces for relaxation and healing. We had over 280 participants come through ASHA this summer!
  • Creating and Producing Breathwork Music: When I wasn't outside on the grounds at ASHA, I was in the ASHA Recording Studios collaborating with some breathwork facilitators on original music for their projects.
  • Live Music for the Ecstatic Dance Retreat: I was honored to perform live music alongside Max Passante at an ecstatic dance retreat, where we created an uplifting atmosphere for participants to express themselves freely. And I've been invited to Rome to perform again with Max next month.

Here are some photos capturing soundbaths at ASHA:

Looking Ahead:

As we move forward, I’m continuing to compose new soundscape music tailored for meditation and breathwork. I’m excited to explore these new sonic landscapes with you! Drop me a line if you're interested in collaborating with original music.

Join My Patreon:

I invite you to join my Patreon community, where you can receive a weekly meditative soundscape in your inbox every Monday. It’s a great way to enhance your mindfulness practice and enjoy soothing sounds throughout the week. Plus Patron's receive a video recording of our weekly meditation class Sound Sangha (more on this below)

Sound Sangha Continues:

I’m thrilled to announce that Sound Sangha is continuing! This is a weekly free meditation class offered on Zoom, exploring topics around mindfulness, sound, silence, and deep listening.

This month, we will embark on a four-part series exploring the sound and spiritual connection with the ocean. It promises to be a profound journey into the depths of sound and awareness.

Until then, be well and happy listening!

Dear Sound Sangha Family, I hope this message finds you in peace and harmony. 🧘♂️ As we move into August, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking an extended 5-week break to refresh, regroup, and bring new ideas for our future sessions. 🌻✨ During this break, I will continue to share the essence of Sound Sangha by posting recordings every Friday on our Patreon feed. 🎶📅 These will be some of the first sessions from early 2022, focusing on the profound teachings of the Five True Sounds...

Greetings Reader This week, we'll be exploring the liminal space between silence, stillness, and presence. "As we approach Silence with stillness, our Listening illuminates all that remains." —Michael Reiley Mettā, ~Michael Zoom link for Friday's Sound Sangha session: November 17, 2023, 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) / 18:00 Central European TimeJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82339261154?pwd=Y3pOaXg5TFFmZlpQTmpkeGdueVZSZz09 🧡 Much love and gratitude to the generosity of the...
