I hope you are doing well amidst this wild world we live in. Once again, I'm sending this email newsletter out, to extend an invite to a few upcoming events in and around Pittsburgh
BOOK RELEASE CELEBRATION - Thursday Nov. 14 - 6pm - 9:30pm
Please save the date of Thursday November 14th if you'd like to come to a fun and free community event to celebrate the release of my new book called : STATE OF BEING. Venue is the First United Methodist Church in Shadyside
Please join us for this fun and free community event to celebrate the release of Kevin May's new book called "State of Being." It's also just a good excuse to come together in community, share good food, good conversation, and co-create some music together!
No one is obligated to purchase the new book, but they will be available if you are interested. Please bring a potluck dish, drink, or snack to share. We will have a community music co-creation circle starting at 7:30pm, so please bring an instrument if you'd like. This is a drug and alcohol-free event and is also family friendly.
INFO ON THE BOOK :
The phrase "Know Thyself" was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in Ancient Greece. The Greeks and countless other cultures across the world knew about the immense importance of cultivating Self-Awareness. But how do you do this?
In State of Being, Kevin May lays out a variety of maps and practices for optimizing your Body-Mind-Spirit awareness on a daily basis. You are invited to take the next steps to manifest your true potential, reconnect with natural rhythms, and make a positive impact in the world. This book is the culmination of Kevin's 16 year quest for understanding and practicing Body-Mind-Spirit optimization.
If you are interested in pre-ordering it, before its release on November 11th, then you will also be entered into a drawing to win a free Healing Is Cool shirt or tank top of your preferred color and size. Here is a 1 minute video montage of many people who love the shirts they've gotten from me.
The book is 281 pages, with 15+ full color graphics. It is 35 $, plus 6 $ shipping, unless you can come meet me in Pittsburgh.

EXPLORING YOUR MONEY MINDSET WORKSHOP - Saturday Nov. 23 - 4-6pm
Are you struggling to achieve your financial goals? It's possible that you lack the skillset to achieve your goals, but likely it’s your mindset, not your skillset, that is holding you back.
Your beliefs are a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the words of Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right”. Your beliefs lead to how you think, feel & act, and your actions get you the results that reinforce your beliefs. To illustrate, see how you react to the following statements:
🚫 Artists don’t make a lot of money
🚫 You can't be rich and happy
🚫 I am too old/young to be successful
🚫 Money is the root of all evil
🚫 You can't live a spiritual life and have a lot of money
🚫Giving is better than receiving
These are statements of belief. Do you hold any of these to be true? None of them are objectively true, but belief makes them so, and you will do everything in your power to make them true to prove yourself right.
Now you have a decision to make. Do you want to be right, or do you want to achieve your goals? Are you going to play it safe and leave your long-held assumptions unquestioned, or are you ready to examine & change the beliefs that no longer serve you?
If you’re ready to dig deep and connect with other people committed to personal growth, then this event is for you.
During this workshop, you will :
1. Become aware of your current beliefs surrounding money (your “Money Mindset”)
2. Understand how these beliefs developed & where they came from
3. Begin the process of transforming & letting go of the beliefs that no longer serve you
All you need to bring is an open mind, and a willingness to change. All workshop materials will be provided for you.
Gian Carlo Lies will be leading the workshop, and Kevin May will be helping to host and pass out materials.
There is no charge for the workshop, but if you would like to make a donation to fuel more community events like this, we will have a basket available.
ALSO - There is an Ecstatic Dance event at the same church which begins at 7pm on Nov. 23rd, so we figured some people may like to attend both. There will be an hour in between, where you could go get some food or go for a walk around the beautiful neighborhood of Shadyside.

WINTER IS COMING - Online Workshop - Tuesday Nov. 26 - 6:30-8pm
As 2024 comes to a close, I believe it is important to reflect back and take stock of which valuable life lessons we each learned this year. Additionally, this is a great time to set intentions for the habits and goals we intend to cultivate during this upcoming winter season. This workshop will provide an encouraging community space for you to share your reflections and intentions with the group if you'd like. I will lead everyone through a Guided Meditation to bring greater harmony to Body, Mind and Spirit, so that we can all have more clarity as we reflect and vision into the future. Registration is Required, but you don't have to pay immediately, so if you are interested in joining, please take a minute to register here .Then, you can decide closer to Nov. 26th if you want to join in. The workshop will also be recorded, and many people enjoy watching the replay. Joining live or watching the replay also includes being part of the 30-day Private Facebook Message Group, to encourage each other and stay connected for the 30 days following the workshop. Energy exchange is 25 $. Please send via Venmo : @Kevinmay222, Cashapp : $Kevinmay222 or : https://paypal.me/Kevinmay222If you really want to join in, but money is tight, please message me and I can offer a discount.
