Both Nikate and Shri have a long-time interest in esoteric sciences. During their travels in India and abroad they always found time to visit people and places, allowing them to expand their knowledge about these sciences.
Reading is a passion and visiting book stores in search of another great read and more knowledge is a driving force. It was during one such visit in 1994 that the couple discovered Bob Monroe’s book, Journey’s Out Of The Body.

Fifteen years later in 2010, Nikate finally made his way to The Monroe Institute® to attend the introductory Gateway Voyage® program. Shri followed to attend the same program in 2012. They also attended and completed the Facilitator Training Program in the same year. Nikate has also attended Guidelines (2011), MC2 (2012),Remote Viewing (2014) & OBE(2015) . He is also a Off-Campus Residential trainer.

The couple has been profoundly influenced by the programs and the Hemi-Sync® technology. To share their experiences with others, they founded a nonprofit organization, Awareness Foundation. Programs offered include book clubs, meditation sessions, the TMI Excursion & Advance Excursion workshops as well as other related programs. Awareness Foundation is part of the TMI Local Chapter Network and has a regular Hemi-Sync® meditation session every Wednesday.
