a re-print from “The Record”
CIDI attracts people not only from the Town of Brome Lake and surrounding areas, but from outside of Brome Missisquoi and Shefford counties as well. All those who wish to experience being who they are, are invited to take part in the many different aspects of the broadcast, recording and events promotion arts and sciences practised by Radio Communautaire Missisquoi (RCM).
With direct hands-on experience in the fields of radio, TV and events production, RCM offers people of different ages and diverse backgrounds a chance to discover for themselves just how good they really are. If you want to buy a jacket it’s always a good idea to try one on first. The same can be said about one’s life.
Michaela Sefler is a metaphysical poet and host of Poetry and Transcendence, a new show produced by RCM for broadcast on CIDI and streaming on rcmmedia.org every Thursday evening at 11.
Her poetry is esoteric, drawing on ancient writings to convey a message of hope and survival, highlighting nature and creation. She has twelve published compilations of poetry to her credit.
In her poetry she attempts to reconcile difficulty and pain with perseverance and triumph. She is inspired by ancient scripture, and ancient mysticism. In her poetry she draws on faith and ideals as spoken in the Qabbala, as in such works as the book of splendor and the book of formation.
“It has always been a dream of mine to learn about life’s mysteries,” says Sefler, “..I .was mesmerized with the thought of travel to far away lands…and was even more enthralled, about the existence of ancient civilizations.”
At the moment she lives in Montreal and plans on moving to Knowlton in order to pursue her interest in broadcasting and to improve her quality of life. “I really enjoy the area,” exudes Sefler, as she transcends a moment in time with peaceful reflection.
It’s great to know that RCM can catch the fancy of people from urban centers and transform their lives in a positive way. Talk about building confidence in our community. It’s nice to be wanted, to be able to help and to teach.
Sefler wants to help others as well: “When I was old enough to understand that some of theses ancient mysteries and doctrines are written in books, I promised myself to obtain them. I read and studied, but it wasn’t until 10 years ago that I started bringing back and relating my own insight of these works in poetry. It has been a real honour to be able to write about what I most admire… given that I believe that all knowledge was written and understood by ancient civilization.”
Sefler has been featured in various Print journals. Prism Quarterly, Ancient heart magazine, The Taj Mahal Review, Faerie Nation Mag, Decanto Magazine, THE CURIOUS RECORD – Dare 2 , The Cherry Blossom Review, Phoenix New Life Poetry, Lonestars magazine, Magazine Conceit, African Journal of New Poetry No, Tarot Canada, Michaela Sefler won the AAA American Authors Association Award for 2008.
