From an early age, Vinji (Vincent J.) Fortunato had the intuitive understanding that there was more to reality than what our educational system and authority figures stated was real and that the labels given to things were inadequate representations of the things themselves. This profound insight has been a driving force in his life, both professionally and personally, from his early days as a biofeedback researcher to his career as a researcher and academic in the field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology to his spiritual foundations in Zen Buddhism and non-duality and to his lifelong passion for photography. 

Vinji lives in Boise, Idaho and is the founder of Dragonspearl Sangha, Dragonspearl Consulting, and Dragonspearl Photography (all www.dragsonspearl.org) and was the co-founder and Chief Scientist at the MindTime Foundation (www.mindtime.com).
