PROFESSOR AMIT RAPHAEL ZORAN
founder of FirstLight
“You can negotiate with the mind - satisfy it, give it some rational food, then it will rest quiet.”
Amit R. Zoran teaches students about consciousness & perception, how to tap into boundless creativity, deepen our connection to nature, and use technology smartly. Drawing on insights from shamanic traditions, he explores the idea of modern and digital shamanism. And yet, Amit R. Zoran is not a shaman from the Amazons, he is a computer science professor from Israel, who well understands the rigours of modern life. Amit R. Zoran is walking his path & facilitating other people’s journeys along the way. His guides are beauty & harmony.
