Michael lives in Missouri and was ordained by American Marriage Ministries on July 5th, 2017.
After a long and sordid journey, Dane found himself in a small lake town in Guatemala, taken in by a family of Highland Maya. It was here, living and working among humble and joy filled people who knew exactly who and what they were that he fell into a passionate kinship with initiation, indigenous wisdom, and the nature of simple graces. Since his return nearly fifteen years ago he has sought to offer his gifts at the axis of art and heartened education. In 2006 Dane created MOTUV [Movement of the Unified Voice] with dear colleagues in Beijing and San Francisco, rooted in the re-enlivening of face to face community interaction free of alcohol or screens while fostering intercultural skill sharing and dialog. This was the portal that lead him into transformative work, from teaching to creating and implementing comprehensive programming and curricula from the ground up for institutions and organizations such as The Kansas City Academy, Warrior Films, and Pacific Quest (where his path intersected with Darcy?s, which led him to Youth Passageways at the Summit in Ojai), among others. In 2013 he was called back to the Midwest to care for his mother, and blessed with an opportunity to remake and re-envision what his own relationships to family and place were and are. A large part of that has been connecting to his Slavic heritage [Hungarian/Slovakian descent]. He has since founded the Make Trybe Center for Transformative Design in Kansas City, that guides seekers of all ages through collaboratively designed transformations in the form of workshops, courses, and wilderness vision fasts as they relate to developing that sense of deep community, or of trybe, that he bore witness to and was a part of in San Lucas Tolimán, all those years ago.
