AHDAMAMeet the leadership
Ahdama is held by people who bring distinct forms of experience, care, and leadership to the room. Each carries a different part of what makes the work possible.
Why Ahdama exists
Ahdama was built for the man who is functioning, responsible, and still knows that something in him has gone quiet. It is a place to stop performing long enough to hear what is true.
The people who hold Ahdama do not stand outside the work. They enter the room, tend to what happens within it, and care for the conditions that make honesty possible. Their different forms of service are part of what makes that room possible.
Co-founder and lead facilitator
Eli is an entrepreneur and speaker whose own willingness to name the truths men are often taught to hide changed the direction of his life. Speaking openly showed him what becomes possible when shame is met with honesty and another person who is willing to stay.
At Ahdama, Eli creates room for men to say what has gone unsaid, understand what they have been carrying, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they learned to leave behind.
Co-founder and lead facilitator
Meir is a filmmaker, breathwork facilitator, men's coach, and the author of A Kid's Book About Optimism. His work has always been about helping people encounter life with more presence, openness, and possibility.
At Ahdama, he works through breath, movement, ritual, and direct human connection. He brings warmth to the room without asking anyone to look away from what is difficult.
Lead facilitator
Omar is a transformational coach and speaker with more than twenty years of experience in addiction recovery, emotional healing, and personal development.
His work is direct, compassionate, and grounded in accountability. At Ahdama, Omar helps men understand the patterns shaping their lives, tell the truth without collapsing beneath it, and find a more honest way forward.
Chef and Mashgiach
Mendy joined one of Ahdama’s early experiences in 2024 and has since become an integral part of the team. He serves as chef and mashgiach, tending to the home, the food, and the standards of kashrut with an intention that shapes the experience far beyond the kitchen.
At Ahdama, Mendy’s care often becomes its own form of facilitation. It can be felt in a meal prepared with attention, in the steadiness he brings to the space, and in the one-on-one conversations participants often find themselves having with him when something deeper is ready to be named.
