Michael, your insight, humor, and wisdom is something that lives inside of me forever. I am so grateful for the time I got to spend in your presence as wise teacher, powerful healer, and shaman. You will be missed here. But I send you Light and Blessings on your journey, with Love.

Dear Michael,
I feel honored to have met you in this life and to have spent time with you before your next journey. Thank you for always being there for all of us. Thank you for the copper, light, your ability to laugh at everything, your bright colors, your fantastic sneaker collection and the teachings that will forever echo in our spirit.

Michael, you were a man and human being like no other. Strong and kind, patient and exuberant, caring and spacious. You picked the strongest astrological time of the last few centuries to slingshot to the galactic center and beyond. Saturn, the gatekeeper, was stationary (most powerful moment) conjunct at 27 Sag, the degree of the galactic center, last Thursday/Friday. That only happens once every few millenia. What timing! What a spirit!...Fly, brother! with my deepest respect and love

Dear Michael,
Thank you for the grace, wisdom and laughter you so freely shared as well as the gift of your presence and wonderful teachings. You are forever treasured.

Inspiring leader and a genius at work


Michael, I miss you. I miss your creative thinking, open mind and a wonderful world full of possibilities. You were the change agent and a true believer in technology for a better world.

You had such strong spirit that I thought you will always be there with us. Thank you for the joyful and impactful work we achieved together.

Just on Thursday, I watched the movie (InnSaei) on intuition , and thought a lot about you and your influence on my work choices. Wanted to reach out to know how you were doing. But so is life. Countless wishes.

To Michael's Friends:

I feel lucky to have associated with Michael and learn so much together, and go through these awesome experiences through joint work.

From a chance meeting in 2005 at a customer site, where Michael was the consultant and I was representing a vendor, we hit it off on a professional and personal relationship lasting a decade. Through various projects together, from fields in Kansas tracing sources of corn, to operating floors in hospitals fighting hospital errors, and in boardrooms of tech companies vowing them with visions of future, we achieved a lot and built memories of a life time. Working with Anna and others, Michael was always the brightest, sunny and generous leader, overflowing with creativity and ideas.

Michael was truly inspiring and a genius at his work.

Wish peace and solace to Michael's family.

My dear friend, It seems like yesterday when you spent hours just talking to me when my sister passed on April 8, 2013. Telling me how her memory will allow me to get through her loss. There are so many things I want to say. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to know you as my friend and mentor. You taught me how to listen to what you called my gift of knowing things others can't see. Your light will continue to shine in all those you pulled out of dark places. I will miss our talks and your delight in giving of yourself and knowledge freely. Thank you for sharing your rare gifts with me. I can see you smiling at us with that beautiful smile and telling us "Watch your thoughts they become words, Watch your words they become actions, Watch your actions they become habits, Watch your habits they become character, Watch your character it becomes your destiny. This is your legacy my friend. (Integrity, Honesty, Goodness, Love) Forever in our hearts ❤️

I had the pleasure of working with Michael as he gave of his time, talent and treasure as a member of the AgSafe Board of Directors. He was thoughtful, diligent and always looking out for the best interest of our organization. I will deeply miss his wit and sharp sarcasm, both of which are hard to find. Our world at AgSafe was made better because of his dedication, commitment and stewardship.

Dearest Michael,
Wow...how do I express all that you've meant to me? You have been the most amazing teacher, mentor, guide, father figure and benevolent being I have ever known. You were able to make sense of things for me. Helping me to clear out lifetimes of confusion and become more of myself. You were always such a beautiful example of genuinely loving what you did and that was alleviating suffering in others. Some of my most favorite times in my life were in sessions with you, Saturday classes and Practicum. The teachings, clarity, laughter, tears, healings, business advice, car talk, encouragement and tough love (when needed) were profound. I soaked it all up, couldn't get enough--I loved learning from you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being a
bad-ass spiritual warrior with a golden heart as big as the sun. Thank you for all you are. I miss you. With the deepest love, respect and admiration, Jill

Dear Michael,

You were an anchor for so many, a channel of grace and compassion, a boundless source of wisdom, magic, healing and deep, deep grounding. A modern day shaman, walking the walk, living your truth, setting by example...I have learned so much from you. Thank you for our one-on-one sessions (and for letting me do them on the couch with my sheepskin). I had so much fun laughing with you while planning, previewing and grounding my travels and transformation through the physical and astral planes. I am honored to have spent so much time in the presence and care of someone I consider a master and the true embodiment of love and compassion.

I remember at MIM 30's graduation ceremony we sat together basking in the sun in Bibby's magical fairy garden. We shared sacred silence - connecting spirit to spirit instead of verbally. Nature and SB embraced all of us so beautifully that day. Francesca was with us remotely. I brought one of my tarot decks and several graduates and alumni pulled cards throughout the day. As everything was winding down, I was equally surprised and delighted when Michael asked me if he could pull a card! In silence, we deepened our grounding and surrounded ourselves and the deck with SB. Using psychometry, Michael selected and flipped over his card... *THE HIEROPHANT*...We looked up at each other and both laughed. "Well, that's me!" he said enthusiastically with that hearty chuckle we all know and love dearly...

When I heard of Michael's passing I travelled immediately back to this moment and his card. "The Hierophant represents a means for accessing the sacred and is the carrier and transmitter of ancient wisdom and spiritual teaching. He represents a link and mediator between us and the Divine. As such, the Hierophant represents the spiritual teacher who helps us come into contact with the Divine. Unlike the Magician, who simply points the way, the Hierophant is a trusted guide, one who will take us by the hand and lead us to our spiritual goal. He represents a gateway to a higher consciousness reached in a sacred manner. He teaches that which can be learned by word and example."

Michael embodied so many qualities of the hierophant, a trusted guide, gateway, and leader to so many of us on the path. I am keenly aware he will continue his work and teachings from the other side, more expansive than ever, no longer limited by the physical form! As we know, Michael defied (defies) the "laws" of physics - surely he will continue to shine light upon us from other dimensions, known and unknown. He would always say in his seminars, "My bags are packed!" No one I know was more prepared for this transition than you, so soar high and fly free, dear friend and teacher.

My first session with you broke my brain!!!  It did what no one had done before it made me take a long, long hard look at myself!!!  I am
forever grateful for your wisdom, your kindness, your humor and your
divinity!!!  What I loved the most about you Micheal is that you made it
look easy!  You were mystical and magical but you wore it with humility
and grace!!!  Thank you for allowing me to share a small part of your journey and I will always remember our last practicum because you broke what was left of my brain!  Francesca, we, your students are
the tapestry of the legacy the academy and can never take the place of
such a special person but collectively we are a soft place to hold your heart!!!  

Wholely yours,
Angela

Michael - What a shock. I will always remember your humor while teaching and making the "difficult stuff" more fun. You have planted so many seeds of wisdom to assist others on their own journey to grow, blossom, heal and share with others. I know you are in good hands because of the inner work you have done and how much you have learned about the physical and non-physical realms. Thank you for your presence in this lifetime.

Your calm, reassuring presence, your generosity and your extraordinary gifts as an intuitive, healer and teacher helped many people, including me. Thank you. You are missed.
