Journey Back from Ixtlan

Bijan was born in 1961 in Tehran, Iran. Although he was a brilliant student in his early and middle school years he lost his interest in academic studies to the degree that he quit college twice and returned to the spiritualism and mysticism instead. By the rise of the Islamic regime in 1979 in Iran his life began to drastically change where it took him to some of the darkest and most unimaginable places and situations he could have ever thought of. Was he eventually able to overcome his challenges?! He paid a heavy price to find the answer to this question. Bijan currently lives in Toronto-Canada. He is the founder and leader of the Generation 8, an organization reaching out to Iranians all over the world through modern art, music, and media.
