Miguel Rivera is a musician, translator, and longtime ritualist whose life's work bridges the language of sound with the preservation of ancestral wisdom. A professional percussionist and award-winning supervising sound editor for film and television, Miguel is perhaps best known in the mythopoetic community as a longtime organizer and teacher at the Minnesota Men's Conference. Since 1993, he has served as a central figure there, collaborating with elders like Robert Bly, James Hillman, and Martin Prechtel to weave ritual, drumming, and poetry into the container of men.
