Raven, born in 1946 in Chicago, IL was a professional actress, singer, and dancer who performed with a male partner for a total of twelve years, (from '68-'80), doing acrobatic-adagio dance in Radio City Music Hall, and other theatres, nightclubs, TV and films, world-wide. Raven continued as a solo act that utilized her talent as a contortionist, http://www.contortionhomepage.com/raven.html and as a corporate event entertainer using skills in mime, clowning, other impersonations and psychic reading of palms until retiring in 1998. Through her earlier years from age 15 she was always seeking spiritual ways to develop. Although many various pathways were studied, Raven felt lucky to find her most valued teacher in 1981.
Mantak Chia certified Raven to teach Chinese Meditation and Chi Kung in 1983. She holds certification in nine Healing/Universal Tao course levels. She continued extensive training with other teachers of Tao also. Raven has improved her health and zest for living tremendously.
Raven had her own Manhattan Cable TV show in 1982 called Ultimate Stretch. In 1991, She was chosen to be co-hostess on a cable T.V. show in Miami called New Age Vision. Raven has written many articles on topics of holistic healing, primarily about her studies in the Healing Tao. She has been engaged as a speaker on those topics at learning institutions, organizations, community centers, cruise ships and corporate functions. She is presently writing an exercise book on these methods that are to be accompanied by a DVD demonstrating the movements.
Raven continues teaching an average of eight Tai Chi-Chi Kung classes weekly, plus meditation workshops. She's a member of the HTIA Board of Directors. She teaches Corporate groups during their Conventions.
