Our First Year, and an Invitation Forward
Friends,
As this first year of Bring Forth comes to a close, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you. If you have listened to the music, shared a song, attended a gathering, or followed this work from afar, you are already part of the story. Bring Forth exists because people like you believe that creativity is not a luxury. It is one of the ways human beings stay awake to their own souls.
When we launched this summer, we named our mission with clarity: Bring Forth cultivates and amplifies human-made, heart-centered creativity as a pathway to healing, emotional well-being, and cultural renewal. In a world marked by rapid technological change, rising disconnection, and a cultural hunger for meaning, heart-centered creativity is becoming more essential, not less. It is one of the practices that keeps us human.
Support Bring Forth with an end-of-year gift
This year, we have already seen what happens when people are given permission to listen inward and create from that place. We have witnessed songwriters reconnect with their intuition. We have supported artists releasing music shaped by emotional honesty rather than commercial pressure. We also released two full-length albums that are already making a tremendous impact in our communities and rippling outward. We have gathered people in rooms where strangers become community through shared singing and presence. And we have begun the slow and steady work of building a home for those who want to explore creativity as a path toward healing and transformation.
As we look toward 2026, the work is expanding. In the new year we will:
Launch our first community songwriting journey, The Song Within, which will make intention-based songwriting accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to listen, respond, and grow through creative practice.
Produce and release a series of heart-centered music projects, including full albums and singles from our current roster of artists.
Offer more transformational coaching opportunities so that individuals can use songwriting and creative expression as tools for emotional healing, clarity, and self-understanding.
Host guided concerts, gatherings, and regional events that create space for connection and renewal.
Continue building a culture where creativity is understood as a birthright, not a privilege.
To do this well, we are asking our community to stand with us.
If you resonate with this vision of a world where people create from aligned authenticity, where creative practice is accessible to all, and where music becomes a force for connection and healing, I invite you to make an end-of-year gift today. A one-time contribution makes a real difference as we grow this work. A recurring monthly gift creates dependable support that helps us plan with confidence, extend more coaching opportunities, expand our community gatherings, and sustainably amplify the voices and songs emerging from this growing circle.
Your generosity helps us continue this work with integrity and care. It allows us to invest in the resources needed to share these stories and songs with more people and to nurture a culture rooted in presence, intuition, and creative empowerment at a moment when the world needs it most.
With gratitude for your presence in this circle,
Make a one time gift or support Bring Forth monthly
