In 1992, after many years of meditating and self-examination, Isa was blessed with the ultimate accident, becoming awakened. In 1995, he left the world of academia and moved to Lake Lure, NC, with Malika, his life partner of over 30 years. Today he no longer functions as a psychologist or a professor. He simply serves as a mirror, a vehicle for people who wish to wake up. To be in Isa’s presence can be a rare and beautiful catalyst for waking up to the joys of each moment, to the totality of what is and to the awareness that everything is as it should be.
