Susan happened upon her path of spiritual/psychical enquiry and learning some 35 years ago after experiencing a life-transforming 'other consciousness', during and after, a dramatic Near Death Experience. Susan spent the first painful 10 years after this not understanding what had happened to her, and was without much needed support. Although she worked and brought up her little daughter - she became very sensitive and vulnerable to slipping into changed consciousness and 'not of this world'. Eventually in 1982 she found her first teacher, which started her journey of channelling these 'unknown' energies, grounding and protecting herself, and in 1987 changed her career to work in the healing field with Complementary Therapies. Susan trained in a multiple of disciplines over the years, including Reiki, with very fine healing results. Susan wanted the therapies to be available to all socio-economic groups and pioneered and wrote the first Professionally Accredited Complementary Therapy Courses for Westminster Adult Education in 1989. She has since taught extensively throughout her career combining as a therapist and course designer. She is studying quantum physics to broaden her work. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________________ Darren Bayliss ___________________________________________________________________________________________
When he was young there was no one around to help him understand his confusing time with spirits and understand his gifts, he had to learn on his own. So now much of his time is devoted to help educate and develop gifts of others who may be in similar circumstances. The answer is to work with the spirits and to feel how people work with their unique gifts and harness and channel them the way they were meant to. So Darren now finds himself running all sorts of workshops, this includes trance work, healing work and spiritual development, demonstrations and readings. He is always happy to talk and help people where ever possible.

Vaz
Sriharan set up the London College of Spirituality in June 2007 and
opened its doors to the public in
October of the same year. The College emerged from the hugely popular London Spirituality Meetup
Group that began in January of the same year, bringing together like-minded
people to discuss spirituality in all its forms. With the popularity of the
meetup group, it quickly evolved into delivering a framework for Londoners to
experience and explore spirituality. And so the London College of Spirituality was
born! Offering Londoners and now the international community an arena to explore
one's spirituality - but also to enable spirituality to become a movement, one that is
owned by everyone. 
Cheryl
van Blerk, assistant to the College Director Vaz Sriharan, is delighted to add
her new position at the London College of Spirituality to her biography - as she
has participated in some exciting events over the past 10 years. She started out
her career in the music business and moved to TV and then set up her own company
to record and produce audio programmes, including The Spiritual Tourist, by Mick
Brown. This led to her company organising and promoting speakers and authors,
including Diana Cooper's Angel Day and devising a stand alone event at the
Vitality Show; Spiritual Journey. Eckart Tolle was a high point of this event
when he gave his first UK seminar after the success of his book Power of Now. As
Administrator at the College of Psychic Studies she oversaw diverse lecture and
workshop programmes which included Dolores Cannon, Tim Freke, Jason Chan and
Tony Stockwell. In 2004 Cheryl organised a successful event with the launch show
of the popular exhibition The Mystic Arts in London's Olympia. The programme had
CPS tutors and psychics introduce their talent and abilities over 3 days to
thousands of delegates. Alongside Vaz, Cheryl will be on board to take the
London College of Spirituality to the next level of spiritual endeavour in these
exciting times, in the heart of London.
