Programs at The Monroe Institute®

Your first highly experiential trek, the Gateway Voyage, takes you on an incredible six-day intensive adventure with like-minded explorers. Participate in the evolution of human consciousness; join us and realize your own true destiny!

The Gateway Voyage exploration is a prerequisite for a number of graduate programs. The Gateway Voyage provides tools that enable: development and exploration of human consciousness; deeper levels of self-discovery; expansion of one’s awareness; willful control of that awareness; communication with and visits to other energy systems and realities.

Creativity is the magic of our universe. It shapes our lives, enriches our souls and helps manifest our dreams. The very word elicits a variety of emotions for many of us; a longing to be creative, awe for those who are, and a deep knowing that we once were as children, and still are deep within! There are many stages of the creative process to explore and an infinite number of ways to express that creativity. Reawaken that part of yourself that longs to live a more enriched, flowing and truly creative life!

Planning for this program began in 1994, and it debuted in June, 1995 … only a few months after Bob Monroe’s passing. It fulfills his desire for further exploration of the many functions, processes, and dynamics of the F-27 state, and introduces participants to the integrative, transformational, collective energies of F-34/35, which Bob referred to as The Gathering. Before making this shift, participants are given an opportunity to explore Earth Core and fulfill an important energetic role as linking consciousnesses, examining the ancient Hermetic teaching, “As Above, So Below.” This is a week of pioneering, cutting-edge exploration, information downloads, and research.

Peter Russell, the author of many books on spirituality, and the producer of the video “The Global Brain” comes together with Karen Malik, a senior Monroe Institute facilitator, to create this unique opportunity for Monroe graduates to look at the essence of spirituality – beyond techniques, teachings, teachers and texts.

This program is designed to provide a worldwide system of well-prepared TMI trained and certified Outreach facilitators. It consists of an online training module, a 5 day residential training module and a mentoring module. Upon approved completion of these 3 modules, you will be certified to facilitate outreach programs around the globe.

Peter Russell and Karen Malik have created more live guided Hemi-Sync® sessions to enhance a deeper meditation practice, and further understanding of your true self. You will open to a fuller awareness of your essential being. Open only to graduates of Exploration Essence.

Guidelines® offers still another step in the development of more complete understanding of self. In addition to exploration of your Total Self and creating an ongoing communication with your Inner Self Helper (ISH), the program gives direct training in the early stages of Out of Body training. This is the only Institute program that specifically provides these methods. Training in using a special dolphin energy–either individually or in a group–to heal both self and others is also an aspect of Guidelines.

The PREP session is introduced as an aspect of the GUIDELINES program.

Heartline is a graduate program for those who are serious about looking within. It is about creating heartspace — self-love, self-trust, and non-judgmental acceptance. It is about allowing, understanding, and moving beyond feelings into the transcendental.

This very popular program debuted in 1991 and allows advanced exploration of afterlife states, including Focus 27. Since then it has become a core part of our curriculum and international reputation, as numerous authors have written about their life-changing experiences. Its primary emphasis is service – service to those here in physical matter reality and service to those “There” who have made their transitions from the physical and who may benefit from assistance. In preparation for this service, participants typically let go of layers of limiting beliefs resultant fears. In addition to the English language programs in Virginia, this program is also conducted, with translation, in Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, Germany, and Quebec, Canada.”

Experience first-hand the high-focused energy and empowering beliefs necessary to achieve psychokinesis (PK). This natural but often dormant ability uses the power of our non-physical energy to influence physical matter. In MC² you use PK energy to bend spoons, grow seeds, influence computers and dice, and illumine light bulbs.

During this special time of the year, many of us yearn for a more meaningful way to greet the New Year. With exercises to reflect on 2010, and pattern for the best year yet, TMI offers you that possibility!

One of the most fulfilling opportunities of Professional Membership is participation in the Professional Seminar. As members worldwide begin gathering at TMI’s rural campus in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia, a powerful energy builds—of excitement, anticipation; collaboration. Colleagues and friends are reunited by a common mission and the joy of high play. Creativity flows as members present their work, share ideas, and explore deep states of consciousness. It is a renewed sense of purpose and passion for the work that participants find at the Seminar, and that they take with them when they leave. That and a enough inspiration to last until the next Seminar.

The next Professional Seminar is scheduled for March 20-24, 2010. The keynote speaker will be physicist and consciousness researcher, Thomas Campbell. In the YouTube video below, Tom discusses the nature of reality in terms of consciousness. This video series logically and scientifically explains the normal and the paranormal, mind and matter, physics and metaphysics, philosophy and theology. Tom Campbell is the author of the of the book My Big TOE and one of the original researchers who worked with Bob Monroe.

Through remote viewing, out-of-body experiences, spiritual insight, or miraculous healing we recognize, at some level of awareness, the true nature of ourselves as individual sentient elements of a greater non-local consciousness.

Prerequisite: Gateway Voyage

This long weekend retreat will be an opportunity to deepen your practice of meditation and explore more fully the nature of spiritual awakening with Peter Russell, whose meditation sessions were greatly appreciated by many participants in Exploration Essence and Graduate Exploration Essence.

The Shaman’s Heart Program is a revolutionary new program for developing one’s full capacity for soul-based and heart-centered living. Developed by Byron Metcalf, Ph.D., The Shaman’s Heart Program is the result of Byron’s 20+ years of research, clinical application, spiritual and transpersonal development, and shamanic/holistic healing and transformation.

Scheduled for November as this time of year reflects the energies of the Earth drawing inward, inviting us to do the same; to reconnect with what is deeply calling to us. Hemi-Sync® exercises, group meditations, and other meditative practices will support listening to the quiet, all-powerful voice within.

Prerequisite: Gateway Voyage

Initiated in 2003, Starlines advances the explorations described by Bob Monroe in Ultimate Journey, through the areas of the I-There (F-34/35), the I-There Clusters (F-42) and the infinite Sea of Bonded I-There Clusters (F-49), thus providing opportunities to re-cognize, re-member, re-claim, and know even more of our Total Self. This is done in the context of galactic and inter-galactic exploration, using images and sounds from space explorations, and consequently preparing participants for their roles as Galactic Ambassadors. . . . more

This program debuted in 2008, driven in part by the opportunities surfacing in the collective consciousness of humanity as we move into the co-creative transformational energies of the 2012 era. Blending physics and metaphysics, we continue to strengthen the energetic pathway between Earth Core and the Galactic Core, through Focus 49, with opportunities to explore various forms of dimensional shifting along the way and beyond. . . . more
