“Words can’t begin to express what an incredible feeling I get when I attended Michael’s flow art workshop. I will do my best to try to explain. Michael had shared so much wisdom and knowledge he has in his workshop. His teaching is top notch. You will get to learn so much of the fundamental of this flow art and you will walk out of his workshop feeling great about yourself, as your skills will get improved in only a few hours. His workshops are very enjoyable, full of structure and enthusiasm. Michael is a very good teacher, kind, positive and supportive. He always takes time to answer any questions. It was such a wonderful workshop full of encouragement! I highly recommend Michael’s workshop for anyone who wants to improve your flow art skills! ”

“Working with Michael is as much mind opening as it is heart expanding. You can feel his passion and enthusiasm from the beginning and it’s contagious. He has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to offer and he speaks from a place of “truth” that you rarely experience. Skyfire Arts is more than just fire & electricity; it is about consciousness embodied on multiple levels of the human experience. I am excited to immediately expand my daily practice with the very real and practical tools I just learned.”

“Such a great experience for us all… The multiple formats of martial arts that were presented seemed to even help me walk better, I feel more present in each step… I have some background in staff flow and have been practicing for about 4 years, and now after the visuals and guidance received from your class I feel like I’ve sharpened my stance and conscious mobility with the staff…. I left your class with an incredible sense of gain. I will take this knowledge with me and share it with whom I feel could also benefit.”
— Spencer, Ecstatic Flow Arts - 3 day Intensive - Lucid University
“I really enjoyed how the workshop combined movement and meditation in a practical way to not only teach the foundation of fire dancing, but to make that mind-body connection even more obvious (also the passion that both you and Tomm have for your crafts is sincere and present - makes a big difference).
In general I felt the workshop was a great introduction to many different worlds that happen to be intrinsically linked. I never really had an interest in fire dancing but I now see the appeal for sure (as I’m sure people who are new to yoga, meditation, qi gong, etc. will leave with an interest in those practices). ”
