Who We Work With

Meet Michael, Founder & CEO of SkyFire Arts

Michael Ravenwood began his education a year early, started life coaching his peers as early as fifth grade and started his meditation practice at age ten. Three decades of training in Kung Fu, yoga, psychology, and performance arts gave him a lifelong fascination with how people master their mind, body, and energy under pressure.

Today he is an international cirque performer, show producer, speaker, and founder of SkyFire Arts. Over the past 15 years, his work has taken him across four continents—performing and producing experiences from Seoul and São Paulo to Paris, Guatemala City, and back to places he lived as a child, including Japan and the Philippines. Born in Tokyo and later moving from Singapore to California, Michael brings a uniquely global perspective to the way he teaches flow states, resilience, and human performance.

His presentations blend storytelling, science, and spectacle. Michael has spoken for audiences ranging from Talks at Google at Google’s Los Angeles headquarters to Netflix’s White Rabbit Project, leadership summits, technology conferences, festivals, and corporate events. His work has appeared at gatherings such as Lightning in a Bottle, LDI Conference, Lucidity Festival, Burning Man, and Mindshare LA, as well as numerous podcasts and leadership forums.

Michael studied with Tony Robbins’ firewalking mentor while becoming a Certified Firewalking Instructor, and he has completed an intensive Vipassana meditation retreat involving ten days of silence and ten hours of meditation per day. Drawing on these experiences, as well as years performing with fire and lightning in high-pressure environments, he teaches practical tools for entering flow states, managing stress, and realizing our full potential.

Audiences consistently describe his presentations as impactful, captivating, and unforgettable. Through keynotes, immersive demonstrations, and coaching experiences, Michael helps people reconnect with purpose, unlock creativity, and perform at their highest potential.
