ABOUT NASHID "KOLEOSO" FAKHRID-DEEN




Koleoso, which means, "build the house of the seer," is well known and respected for his willingness to follow his spirit's direction and his soul's timeless wisdom. In his own words he "seeks to pierce the illusion of matter and become conscious of his divinity." After two near death experiences (communing with the "Light" both times) and many years as an active minister in the Nation of Islam and an Imam of traditional Islam, he answered the call to shamanism. Koleoso has been initiated by a Hindu yogi, is a pipe carrier and "sun dancer" in the Lakota tradition, a Reiki Master, and facilitates sacred sweat lodge ceremonies around the country.
 
 

He is initiated in the West African Yoruba tradition as a priest of Shango and priest of Ifa (Babalawo). He has authored several books and conducts lectures and workshops and offers private divinations and oracle readings. He is also chief priest and co-founder of the Institute of Transmutational Healing and Temple of the Mystic Light, and president and co-founder of Ori Inu, University Without Walls.
