Amikaeyla Gaston is an ordained syncretic priestess of a tapestry of several distinct spiritual practices from Africa, Cuba, Haiti, Brazil, and the Americas. She is the Founder and Executive Director of ICAHSI, the International Cultural Arts & Healing Sciences Institute, as well as a nuanced thought-leader, author, public speaker, performer, percussionist, and sacred ethnomusicologist/song keeper of chants from indigenous traditions around the world. She is a Cultural Ambassador for the State Department doing expansive work with political refugees, war survivors, and at-risk populations worldwide “…opening paralyzed voices and transforming wounded spirits through the miracle of her music”.  – Laura R., President, Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Often called into difficult scenarios to offer inter-cultural literacy and deep restorative justice work in support of transformative and peaceful solutions, Amikaeyla is a highly sought-after public speaker and performer who shares her thoughts, songs, and music from the stage around the world. Her strong academic interest in Sacred Ethnomusicology and extensive studies with traditional healers and cultural artists around the healing effects of music led to the performance in India at the Inaugural Festival of Sacred Chanting and Singing for the commemoration of the Golden Buddha at a personal invitation by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

He feels strongly that instead of taking the oceans for granted we need to recognize the oceans critical role in providing the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. The oceans hold the clues to our past, they control our present, and they are the key to future life on this planet. In recognition of his role in exploration and science communications David is a recipient of a Computerworld-Smithsonian Award, the Explorer’s Club Lowell Thomas Medal, and the Frances Hutchinson Medal of the Garden Clubs of America.
