Former psychotherapist, meditation teacher + writer

Maui, Hawaii

Damian Nyman is a former psychotherapist, scientist, and meditation teacher. After his own spiritual awakening in 2007, Nyman left the practice of psychotherapy. A graduate of Harvard University and UC Berkeley with specializations in Clinical Psychology and Philosophy, Nyman now lives in Maui, Hawaii.

An Aries with a penchant for fighting sports, Nyman was a founding member of Harvard’s Tae Kwon Do team, as well as a member of the ballroom dance team – an expert in the art of Argentine Tango.

As introspective as he is passionate, Damian spends his free time hiking, reading, and completing various environmental projects on Maui.

He considers his primary spiritual teacher Adyashanti – and has sat with both Adyashanti and Jack Kornfield – as a meditation teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

Considering justice a primary value, Nyman has actively worked to support survivors of cult abuse, coercive control, and sexual misconduct – after witnessing them himself – as a former member of OneTaste and other high control groups. He has written a number of exposés on cult dynamics in an effort to protect the public, and was central – as a whistleblower – in exposing a corrupt wellness company valued at over half a billion dollars – raided and investigated by the FBI.

Nyman tirelessly supported Mokwa’s efforts to hold her abuser accountable after the revelation of her sexual abuse, and has been her champion, confidante, and compassionate secondary partner for five years.

He makes a gorgeous leg of lamb, and the world’s best dance partner.*A pseudonym has been used to protect his identity and privacy.

Private wealth manager + linguist

Wellington, Florida

Michael Zeman is a former punk, drummer, and foreign policy and defense analyst at the Cato Institute.

A lover of languages, travel, and culture, Zeman completed his undergraduate degree in Italian and Spanish language via terms at Universidad de Salamanca and the Siena School for Liberal Arts.

A Virgo with a knack for structure and systems, he now uses his language skills to serve High-Net-Worth and Ultra-High-Net-Worth families, individuals, and corporations as a private wealth manager.

Adept, adaptable, and inspired by his partner’s work, Zeman takes a keen interest in psychedelic research, development, and investment.

Zeman lives in Wellington, Florida with Mokwa, and has been her dedicated, determined, and devoted primary partner for ten years.

When not dedicated to his clients, Zeman focuses his energy on his physical passions – Pencak Silat and Spartan Races. A former advanced practitioner of Soo Bahk Do, he spent his youth teaching children in the dojo.

Deeply moved by the beauty of art and community service, Zeman is a member of Palm Beach’s Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, as well as an active member of Rotary Club of Palm Beach.

A serial cat snuggler and Mokwa’s forever travel companion, his favorite international destination is Barcelona. He looks fantastic with a mohawk.

Former U.S. Customs team leader + senior inspector

Wellington, Florida

Antoinette DiMario is a former team leader and senior inspector for U.S Customs.

After being certified as inspector via training in Glyncoe, Georgia in 1980, DiMario made her name as a fearless feminist forwarding iconoclastic innovation – as one of the first female inspectors in the 1980s – when women made up only 2% of the U.S. Customs workforce.

Championing the rights of women, implementing reform, and demanding improved facilities and considerations for female employees defined her tenure.

Active and influential in both the narcotics and financial units, DiMario was instrumental in the implementation and success of specialized operations – including Operation Buckstop, an international anti-money laundering initiative that changed the face of U.S. Customs.

Her work in narcotics in the 1980’s led to some of the most significant seizures in JFK history – totaling over 100 million dollars – and including the incarceration of corrupt diplomats trafficking mass quantities of heroin and cocaine – from both the United States and the Kingdom of Bhutan.

As a result of her work, DiMario received commendation from president George H. W. Bush. Throughout her career, DiMario has met a number of notable figures and cultural icons. Her favorites include Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger.

A naturally generous Libra with an immense talent for community connection, cooking, and hosting, DiMario spends her retirement in the sun, reading, spending time with friends, or spoiling her dachshund, Waffle.

After Mokwa shared the revelation of her abuse, DiMario actively supported both the criminal and civil pursuits of her rapist, including liaising with law enforcement, then broke all ties with the individual in question.

Deeply moved by her daughter’s recovery, DiMario fully supports Mokwa’s campaign to champion the free use of psychedelic medicines.

She gives the warmest hugs. Her nickname from the age of three –after the WWII general – was Rommel. (Like mother, like daughter.)
