At 13, I climbed Mount Damavand, Iran's majestic 18,606-foot volcanic peak. Standing above the clouds, surrounded by the vastness of the sky, something within me awakened.

It was more than reaching a summit. It was the beginning of a journey inward.

I began to feel a power that did not come from conquering mountains, but from recognizing the infinite presence within myself.

I am love.
I am power.
I am wisdom.
I am connected to the universe.
I am the question.
I am the answer.
I AM.

At fifteen, I returned to Damavand's summit for a second time. Over the years, I explored many more of Iran's magnificent mountains, including Alam Kuh. Each ascent became a meditation, each breath a conversation with existence, each summit a reminder that the greatest heights we can reach are within ourselves.

My curiosity about the universe also led me into the world of science and technology. I studied Information Technology Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, one of Iran's leading universities, before receiving a full scholarship to the University of California, Riverside, where I earned my master's degree in Computer Science.

For fifteen years, I have worked as a software engineer, exploring the intricate logic of systems and the invisible connections that bring them to life.

And somewhere between the precision of science and the mystery of existence, I discovered something beautiful: the mind seeks to understand the universe, while the heart longs to experience it.

Today, I am also a mother to a beautiful young boy, an artist, a climber, a lover of poetry, and a creator of music inspired by the timeless words of Rumi.

I paint, hike, rock climb, practice yoga, make music, meditate, and find joy in the simple miracle of being alive.

For many years, I have explored meditation through different traditions, including Indian contemplative practices, Taoist wisdom, and the mystical Persian tradition of Sama. Each has offered me a different doorway into the same infinite space of awareness.

Yet the deepest teachings have always come from my own heart.

I have come to experience meditation not as an escape from life, but as a way of entering it more fully. Not as an effort to become someone better, but as a journey of remembering who we already are.

A return to the body.
A return to the breath.
A return to love.
A return to the infinite within.

Simoolation was born from this journey.

It is my invitation to explore consciousness with curiosity, to recognize the wisdom already living within us, and to discover our own unique path through existence.

Each of us carries our own rhythm, our own questions, our own way of awakening.

My intention is to create a space where we can listen deeply, open our hearts, and reconnect with the essence of who we are.

Because perhaps the greatest discovery is not something waiting for us at the summit of a mountain, in the pages of a book, or somewhere among the stars.

Perhaps it has been here all along.

Within us.
