Armando Cardenas is an ITPI member and dedicated practitioner, blending his ITP practice with the SantMat 'science of the soul' meditation practice he began in 2012. Residing in León, Mexico, Armando, a social entrepreneur, developed his own brand of vegetarian Mexican food (Iskal), based on the concept of conscious business, the power of community and universal cooperation. His curiosity, drive and ability to self-educate garnered attention from one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the SF Bay Area, where he serves as a CyberSec data engineer. Armando is a facilitator and tech advisor on The Ki of Cooperation International Team.
