Michael Burke/Vibrational Sound Therapist

What are you vibrating back to a universe that is dancing within your every cell… your every fiber… your every string? This principle idea, that we are the energy we hold, is how Michael Burke lives his life each and every day.

Michael Murphy Burke was born in New Orleans, LA on September 30, 1959. This happens to be the same day that Rumi, the great Sufi mystic poet, was born. This is not a coincidence, as “coincidence is just God’s way of staying anonymous”. Michael grew up surrounded by music, art, passion, freedom of expression, and the absolute power of living on his own path.

He’s been a poet all his life, with his first published material being in his high school newspaper when he was a sophomore. More recently, he contributes steadily to Oracle Magazine and is also published in Aquarius Magazine and Conscious Life Journal. In addition to writing, Michael also creates artistic visions in a variety of woods for private clients as a custom woodworker. He can also be found doing spoken word, sound journeys and meditations throughout the Atlanta area and beyond.

Sound = Frequency/Vibration. All matter is vibrating. We are vibrational beings. Therefore to be absorbed into sounds that create balance through binaural frequencies, isochronic tones, along with just soothing, beautiful instrumentation allows those sounds to absorb into us. These sounds are how all things are generated, created, actualized. By treating yourself to a Sound Journey or Sonic Massage, you are caressing each string, cell and fiber of your being with universal tones that comfort and soothe, release and renew. The beautiful thing about any type of Sound Treatment is that you don’t have to DO anything.

At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose – improving our world through the power of philanthropy.

On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.

But their goals expand far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.

Their goal is to synchronize Gwinnett’s existing support services and infrastructure to effectively address real-time needs across the community.
