Dear Ones,

Note: PERKS OF SIGNED BOOKS ARE FOR USA ONLY, BECAUSE OF MAILING COSTS! ALL OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE.  

My name is Gabriel Meyer and I’m a "radical flexitarian minstrel," musician, poet, and spiritual activist, born and raised in Argentina.

I’m raising funds to amplify the launch of my first book of prose in English ”On the Verge of the Verb” (coming March 2025) loosely described as “an autobiographical fiction of prophetic sorts” with a tour on the West and East coast of North America.

The book serves as a trampoline for creative collective healing and systemic action rooted in Spirit, beyond concepts, adjectives, and nouns.

WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?

The book chronicles an epic global journey led by the protagonist “G” who recruits, like-minded inter-generational, multidisciplinary, and poli-cultural “sacred activists”, culminating in a massive peace & healing event in Jerusalem, melting the defense mechanisms of reality. 

At the end of the adventure, the Pope burns the “Doctrine of Discovery” in front of an Amazonian chief at the heart of the old city of Jerusalem.

Along the way, G falls in love with Mona, and they travel through cities, beaches, deserts, and villages. With the newly born crew of sacred agents, he shares his real-life stories of initiation into sacred activism, sexuality, and spirituality. 

This fictional adventure of this team of creatives can serve as a manual for building an intergenerational community of sacred activists.

WHY IS THIS BOOK RELEVANT?

These are perilous times for our planet. Some call it the “Anthropocene” - an age run by human supremacy and informed by the culture of war, pandemics, and climate catastrophe. 

My book and my live interactive presentations through song, story, selected readings, humor, and playshops embody a transformational paradigm. 

I consider we are "hospice carers" for the dying paradigm of human-centrism, greed, and the power-over model running the current systems. We have the sacred task to midwife a future based on cooperation, regeneration, justice, compassion, and love.

Through my book tour, I hold the intention of calling forth each other's medicine, planting collective experiences, and spontaneous pop-up communities.

WHO IS GABRIEL MEYER?

I was born in Cordoba, Argentina, and intend to inspire beauty, humor, and vitality through the medicines of music, story, movement, and prayer. I sing in over seven languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and Urdu. I bring people from diverse backgrounds together to sing, play, and pray, nurturing intimacy, joy, transformation, and spontaneous community.

I am a spiritual activist and ambassador of shalom/salaam (wholistic Semitic concept of peace). I was ordained as "a pursuer of Peace and a true representative of the Jewish people" by Rabbi Zalman Schachter Shalomi, and was initiated into the "Order of Disorder" by Zen Roshi Bernie Glassman. 

I’m a lifelong Peace Activist, and at the outset of the 2nd Intifada in 2001, co-founded the Sulha Peace Project ( based in Israel/Palestine) with Palestinian Elias Jabbour and co-led the organization with Sheik Ihab Balha until 2009. In this context, we had the honor of a private audience with H.H. the Dalai Lama and gained his support for our peace initiative.

I have four music albums out: Merkavah, Spiritsreal, Hateva: Skin of God, and The Human Project. I self-published 2 books of poetry (Spanish) and co-founded Metatron Ritual Theater Collective ('94 - '01). My first prose book (English) "On the Verge of the Verb"  by Monkfish Publishersiscoming out in March 2025. 

I am currently a core member of the “Defend the Sacred” global alliance of sacred activists, and am caring for my dear elderly mom, based in NYC.
