Dr. Simeon Hein is the director of the non-profit Institute for Resonance in Boulder, Colorado. The Institute is devoted to the study of subtle-energy sciences including remote viewing, crop circles, and related subjects. Dr. Hein has a Ph.D. in sociology and has previously taught research methodology at Washington State University.

Dr. Hein first learned remote viewing in 1996 and subsequently became involved in crop circle research. He shared his conclusion that most crop circles are man-made, but regardless of their origin, they create energetic effects by virtue of their shape and the subtle interaction between humans, plants, and sacred geometry.
