Who We Are

LEAD INVESTIGATOR

Vaz Sriharan

Vaz Sriharan bridges two worlds: consciousness practitioner and explorer. After two decades facilitating transformation. through healing, transmission, and consciousness practices, he moved into investigating phenomena he discovered along his journey.

With background in transpersonal psychotherapy and founder of the London College of Spirituality, he established The Source Institute to bring methodical documentation to phenomena at the intersection of mystical experience and measurable reality.

His research explores identity flexibility, transmission phenomenology, and consciousness-reality anomalies.
