Meet the facilitator(s) for this event.
Daoud Abeid
Daoud has been surrounded by martial arts and healing practice since childhood, where spiritual awareness was also commonplace. His mother first introduced him to reiki in 1991 and after years of searching he found his reiki master in 2005. He is dedicated to inspiring people to embrace choices that reinforce healthy living.
Daoud trains with indigenous South and North American Medicine people and utilizes techniques from these traditions in his healing work. He is also a black belt in Kuntaw, a Filipino Martial art. He feels that people are suffering from a spiritual disconnect from self and ancestors and believes that with an embrace of the traditions, wellness will be restored to many who are suffering.
Dashaun Simmons
Dashaun Simmons is a certified level 2 Reiki practitioner, copywriter, artist manager, intuitive counselor, martial artist, mentor, and initiated priest. All these ways of being or as Dashaun likes to call them, “games” are informed by his sense of play. He sees play as a way to directly access joy and a place to stand in when facing life challenges.
He lives in his place of birth, Brooklyn, NY and currently finds joy and life lessons by dancing, divining, watching old cartoons, and playing old video games.

Born into a family of storytellers, Dahkil Hausif evolved into the griot he is today as a mentee of the great orator and artist Micere Githae Mugo as a student at Syracuse University.
