Michael Ravenwood has spent over 35 years studying martial arts and meditation. With a degree in psychology earned more than 25 years ago, he explored the intersection of mind-body medicine, quantum physics, and global wisdom traditions. Over 15 years ago, Michael turned his true passion into a career, blending storytelling, martial arts, dance, and fire performance.
Since then, he has become an international cirque performer, event producer, business owner, speaker, and empowerment coach. Michael’s journey includes completing a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat, becoming a certified fire-walking instructor, and delivering a one-hour presentation at Google’s LA HQ.
As the founder and creative director of SkyFire Arts, Michael not only manages the business but also writes poetic, life-affirming pieces infused with humor. As a performer, he dons a high-voltage protective suit to wield 10-foot arcs of electricity from a massive Tesla coil.
With a lifelong commitment to empowering people to reach their full potential and protecting the planet through flow arts and sciences, Michael has been teaching at cirque and dance schools, festivals, and privately for more than 15 years.
