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! ...more...

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. ...more...

This workshop focuses on exploring energy healing and is 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. It will be guided by Patty Ray Avalon, MFA, former graduate and faculty member of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and residential facilitator at The Monroe Institute for the past 10 years.

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.

In this week-long 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.
• To work with crystals and sound in healing support.

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 your healing potential.

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. Peter Russell, who has been teaching meditation for 40 years, has found that the key to successful meditation is complete effortlessness. The mind in its natural relaxed state is already at ease. Nothing needs to be done to find inner peace; we only have to stop doing the various things that keep our minds busy and tense. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. It is simply surrendering to the fullness of the present moment. more...
