Vanja Palmers was born in Austria and grew up in Switzerland.

His career as a student at the University of Zürich and as the founder of a successful business startup came to a sudden halt when he ingested a few micrograms of a certain fungi derivate aka LSD. After a few years of being a Hippie and a Yogi, he ended up becoming a Zen person, specializing in being nobody special, making effort towards effortless, traceless praxis.

With mediocre success, Felsentor and Puregg (two meditation centers) as well as some animal rights campaigns and institutions have materialized.

Now in his mid-seventies, living on a little organic farm on Mt. Rigi in Central Switzerland, still wondering, curious, not knowing.
