Soren has spent decades at the intersection of mindfulness, technology, and human development. He advises leaders at OpenAI, Google, and top wellness companies, and he leads global conversations around AI and consciousness. His work bridges ancient wisdom with biohacking, modern neuroscience, and the urgent need to stay human in a machine-dominated world.
