Emaho- a classy guy. I went or was dragged to many fire dances and lectures in Scotland. I learned some valuable skills from him. The world is a much different place without him. Rest in peace friend.

Emaho' lived his life expressing spiritual presence, for which I discovered through his Videos, as a member on his official website. His Spoken Word was captivating & enriching to one's life and belief in Love over Chaos, something we all need. Thankful for his videos & talks so I may stay in touch with him.
