Awareness and Persistence

Two "Uni-tics" discussing life; the past and how it colors the present.

Michael May is the grandson of a Monroe County stonecutter; a fully pedigreed Hoosier local boy. Michael’s teenage years and global perspective were formed during work experiences in Sweden and Jamaica. Upon graduation from Indiana University, Michael joined the teaching faculty of the international Ecumenical Institute based in Chicago. The Institute served as a consortium for the recovery of contemplative depth methods, practices, and exploration using contemporary and existential language. The Institute worked to recover the gifts of contemplative practice for a diverse, global, secular, digitally-enveloped, and quantum scientific world.

The foundational curriculum of the Ecumenical Institute is re-presented today in the cinematic art forms of Interior Mythos Journeys on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Interiormythos.

Michael currently serves as curriculum editor for the program. Michael resides on a hill in the woods of eastern Monroe County with his wife Mary Sullivan Madore. Mary manages the dogs and horses while Michael is learning to be a hay farmer and lumberjack, personally engaging in regular chainsaw therapy.
