OUR STORY
Meet Zach Perlman
Hey there! I’m Zach Perlman, co-founder of Enlightenment Games. I'm on a mission to bring ancient wisdom to modern gamers. My background in religious studies spans over two decades, with a focus on Mysticism, Kabbalah, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
In my early 20s, I became a Monk of the Ramakrishna Order of India. I left to start a nonprofit promoting religious pluralism and interfaith cooperation. A few years later, I was initiated into Buddhism by the Dalai Lama. Following this, I spent several years working at the Philosophical Research Society, digitizing the contents of Manly P. Hall’s library.
I’m also a big fan of meditation and take my practice seriously. At this point, I've explored numerous types of meditation, often finding it challenging to choose just one. I've delved into mindfulness exercises, chanting mantras, visualizations, concentration meditations, breathing techniques, and even drumming meditations—each offering unique benefits.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me playing guitars, reading philosophy books, or trying to meditate near waterfalls. As for guitars, I love the way Les Paul’s look but prefer the sound of Stratocasters. As for waterfalls I’m super lucky because Oregon has lots of them.
If you’re like us, you’re a lover of wisdom, fueled by the quest for enlightenment. Join us on our journey at Enlightenment Games!
Meet Mike Spurling
Hey there! I’m Mike Spurling, co-founder of Enlightenment Games.
My journey here has been shaped by my love for history and culture; a deep fascination with things like Freemasonry, Taoism, and consciousness studies. Such diverse traditions are what inspired me to help make our games, blending ancient wisdom with modern storytelling, influences the narratives we create.
My background in business goes back more than 20 years. Being fluent in business development, management, operations, and logistics, my goal is to see that our projects flow smoothly from start to finish.
Aside from my day job, I have served on the board of directors of multiple nonprofit organizations including as Vice Chairman at Monks Without Borders.
Outside of work I enjoy philosophizing about all things esoteric, expanding consciousness, and engaging in ritual practices.
Join me on this journey at Enlightenment Games, where we’re all about crafting games that inspire and entertain, fueled by passions that run deep.
