Avatar assists you in overcoming barriers in your thinking and feelings. Truly get to know yourself, develop your potential and thereby your influence on others and the world around you. From self-awareness through self-development to self-actualization.

About Harry Palmer

Harry Palmer earned a bachelor’s degree from Ithaca College, a Master of Science in Education from Elmira College, and became an educator. In 1976, Harry left his tenured teaching position to begin a decade of research and study into the workings of consciousness. As a spiritual explorer, he oriented himself towards various belief systems and spiritual and religious movements.

In 1986, this resulted in his own vision and accompanying training program: Avatar®. This program has since spread worldwide. His bestseller ‘Living Deliberately’ – translated into 20 languages – describes his personal journey to personal development and enlightenment.

In addition to his interest in spirituality and world religions (he is most influenced by Buddhism), and what makes societies and individuals thrive, Harry has always been an avid reader and enthusiastic researcher of many aspects of human civilization. This ranges from diving (he has made over 300 dives in eight oceans) and farming (he runs a small biodynamic farm with tilapia, chickens, and vegetables), to ICT.

He lives with his wife Avra Honey-Smith and their dogs in Florida.
