Guidelines®
Guidelines offers still another step in the development of a 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 provides orientation exercises to support the experience of the out-of-body state. Training in the use of a special “healing” energy – either individually or in a group – to benefit both self and others is also an aspect of Guidelines. This is also the only program that includes a free PREP session.
Give yourself the opportunity to gratefully and joyfully strengthen your connectedness with larger aspects of your self-awareness. Give yourself the gift of "coming home," to Self and to TMI.

Lifeline
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."

Exploration 27®
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.

Starlines
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 Galactic Ambassador roles. . . . more

Starlines II
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

Conscious Living Workshop: A Personal Integration
This workshop will provide tools and frameworks for creating greater personal awareness and accountability for the life we have been given… and we do that by having conversations about what matters most to us. We will explore more explicitly our unique gifts in order to understand our purpose and the degree of alignment between that purpose and our current life. We will work experientially to define a set of actions which will more meaningfully integrate our life with our purpose. Like all TMI programs, this is a deeply personal process with time for communion with our inner guidance, reflection on what we are receiving or learning, and dialogue on what we are observing about how we “show up” in our interaction with ourselves and others.

Creative Flow
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!

Energy Healing Workshop
This workshop focuses on enhancing healership on any level, valuable for those with no prior experience in energy healing modalities as well as those with many years of practice in multiple disciplines.
Using Hemi-Sync® technology, energy exercises, and group meditations, you will learn to tap into your own unique healing potential. Guided by Patty Ray Avalon, former graduate and faculty member of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, residential facilitator at The Monroe Institute for the past 10 years, and practicing professional artist, the workshop offers an informative, supportive, and inventive workshop experience.
Based on the theory that energy, consciousness, and matter are interconnected, energy healing is a completely natural and vital process for everyone. In this course you will learn many different but interrelated activities and methods for tapping into healing support. You will come away with more tools, confidence and possibilities to move you into the next level of your own healing journey. and perhaps be inspired to pursue becoming a certified healer in the future.
In this weekend workshop you will learn:
- To access and sustain states of consciousness conducive to healing.
- To improve your high sense awareness (clairaudience, clairvoyance or clairsentience).
- To fine-tune your own energy systems, and raise and control your vibratory rates.
- To work with healing helpers in the non-physical realms.
There are many divergent methods and theories being used in the field of energy healing today, and we are now in a very exciting and creative era. Our higher guidance is always working within us to bring through the highest and finest possibilities for wholeness, happiness, and peace, especially in the realms of personal and planetary healing. Join us for a deep exploration of healing potential.
While many of the Institute’s programs and educational materials contribute to wellness, they are not intended to replace medical diagnosis and treatment.

NEW! Out of Body Exploration Intensive
This is a four-day intensive focused on the preparation, mindset and methods required to initiate out-of-body experiences. The steps, intention and techniques designed for controlled out-of-body exploration are explored in detail.

In addition, hypnotic, shamanic and early morning methods will be practiced.
Over the course of this exciting workshop, you will experience detailed instruction on the vibrational state, control techniques, non physical contact and advanced inner exploration methods. The workshop is based upon the personal experiences and insights gained from William Buhlman's thirty-nine years of out-of-body explorations and the feedback obtained from thousands of inner explorers from around the world.
William (Bill) brings a refreshing look to how we can use out-of-body experiences to explore our spiritual identity and enhance our intellectual and physical lives. He is best known for his ability to teach people how to have profound spiritual adventures through the use of out-of-body experiences.
