The emergence of the High Priest Kwatamani on this planet in 1946 was heralded by his spiritualist/soothsayer Grandmother Essie. He was identified as a soul-seer and spiritual healer during childhood and began cultivating the fundamentals of a raw and living lifestyle at an early age despite opposition and external pressures. His diverse and extensive background includes formal education at UCLA where he received an undergraduate degree in history, and he further completed graduate studies at UC Irvine. He served in the Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict in the late sixties where he continued a major struggle to maintain the necessities of a raw-and-living diet and a holistic living lifestyle. His responsibilities as a personnel administrator and affirmative action officer in Orange and Riverside counties in California accented his exceptional interpersonal and communication skills which he has re-directed towards the divine science of holistic living. His travels have carried him around the globe, serving as a research lecturer at the University of Lagon in Accra, Ghana. The High Priest has acted as CEO of holistic health enterprises and served as a healing consultant and guest speaker in various countries in Afrika, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His message has consistently focused on holistic living, featuring raw and living foods as the primary component. As a Grand Master Chef, his years of experience and exposure to the numerous cultures and culinary styles have added an exquisite range to his recipe repetoire. In the 1970's, the High Priest Kwatamani orchestrated the First Innercourse in Philadelphia, PA, the first raw and living foods center of its kind in the United States. The High Priest continues to serve as an authority in the field through the various publications and productions of the Kwatamani Holistic Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental, physical, and spiritual development. Major media appearances on national and local television networks and radio stations have distinguished him as an expert on topics related to a holistic living way of life and self-healing. His lectures have inspired many from every walk of life, regardless of their age, race, creed, color, sex, disability, religion, or national origin to begin making fundamental changes in their attitudes and behaviors as major steps to holistic living health.
