Life Journey

Simon Pythoud was born in 1988 in Bulle, Switzerland. In 2009, he moved to Canada and met spiritual master Maha Vajra. It was an extraordinary encounter that deeply touched him.

He received the soul name JivaTan, which means "Life that goes into the world" or "Life Spreads". People around JivaTan often feel more alive and more present in their bodies.
