Stefan Ravalli bio:
<br></br>
Forever studying masterful humans and the art of service the
world over to bring their practices to our (sometimes
“service-deficient”) culture, Stefan Ravalli combines all that with
his expertise in meditation, mindfulness, and
communication/listening to raise the game of service professionals
- and anyone looking to upgrade how they connect with others (and
themselves).
<br></br>
Learning meditation was a game-changer for Stefan. It gave him
the inner strength to be his unique self (without the negative
self-talk!), connect with others better, and live a healthy happy
life. Meditation also makes you realize your potential and gives
you the fearlessness to pursue bigger and better things you never
thought possible, so Stefan left a leadership role at a
high-profile bar/restaurant to India to teach meditation.
<br></br>
After doing that for years and deepening his tea ceremony
practice, Stefan realized that the art of service was the richest
path of self-cultivation available to him. Serving anything
anywhere was the best way to apply and accelerate all the upgrades
he got from meditation. So he started Serve Conscious to bring
these tools and practices to anyone where service is part of their
life - to awaken us to the power of service as a means of growth
and self-mastery.
