Michael Ricardo brings a global perspective and a deeply personal connection to his work with families and children in the Roots program in Mexico City. Born in Brazil, raised primarily in Los Angeles, and shaped by formative years in Israel, Michael’s journey reflects a rich blend of cultures and experiences that have led him to value connection to the Creator above all else.
Before stepping into the role of class coordinator and teacher, Michael explored a range of professional paths—from launching his own web design business to working in social media, tech sales, and in-house marketing. He studied business administration at the University of Southern California and Santa Monica College.
Introduced to Kabbalah from birth, Michael returned to his studies in 2024 with renewed intention. He approaches teaching with sensitivity and intuition, striving to meet each student where they are while acting as a clear channel for guidance and inspiration. Passionate about meditation, personal growth, and emotional intelligence, Michael envisions a world where people feel deeply connected—to themselves, to one another, and to the Creator. Outside the classroom, he enjoys cooking, connecting with others, and bringing humor into everyday life.
