Michael Stanton is a Bristol-based musician whose work sits within the conscious and ceremonial music world. Inspired by a love for nature and ancestral wisdom, his soulful music draws on the folk traditions of Celtic Europe and Armenia, Brazil and Native America, Zimbabwe and West Africa, offering a sincere voice to the heart of the world. Stanton sees music as having exceptional power to heal, viewing it as an opportunity to feel deeply and meet oneself authentically. He considers his work part of a global movement of healing through song, music, and prayer. His music finds expression in singing circles, yoga classes, festivals, workshops, and ceremonies. He frequently contributes to ceremonial gatherings such as Enter The Circle—a dance journey described as a meeting of cultures through song, dance, and spirit—and Medicine Songs with Cacao events, where he supports attendees to deepen their connection with the spirits of nature through vocal expression and ritual.
