Pete Smith is a trail blazer in the field of human consciousness. He founded the Institute for Quantum Consciousness to embrace the synchronicities between some of the core principles of Quantum Physics and expanded states of awareness. His last book “Quantum Consciousness – Journey through other realms” documents the philosophies, methodologies and case studies behind the Quantum Consciousness Experience, an out of body journey that embraces Alternate Realities, Parallel Lives and Interdimensional Consciousness.
Pete was president of the Michael Newton Institute (MNI) for ten years and has trained many of the practitioners around the world. In 2013 he was awarded the Peggy Newton Award, MNI’s highest accolade, for outstanding service to the organisation. He now serves in an advisory capacity for matters regarding Michael’s legacy.
