Michael Stasko was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He earned a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology as a NASA Graduate Research Fellow. Later while working as an analyst for a major aerospace company, Michael was deeply moved by a series of personal insights and spiritual experiences that prompted him to leave his career. Shortly after, he left the US to live in India and spent the next 10 years in an ashram, serving his spiritual master, Her Holiness Sri Karunamayi. During this time, Michael deepened his practice of meditation, philosophy, pranayama and Sanskrit chanting. In 2019, he moved back to Miami where he gives talks, offers coaching on spiritual growth, conscious relationships, conscious business and integration. He also teaches meditation, Sanskrit chanting and philosophy (both in person and online) and brings an open heart, positive energy and sense of humor to all his offerings.
