Monroe Community Groups
Monroe Community Groups (MCGs), formerly known as Local Chapters, are led by dedicated volunteers around the world who play an important role in advancing the Monroe Institute’s mission of exploring consciousness and supporting personal transformation.
MCGs provide welcoming communities where participants can continue their Monroe journeys by integrating what they have learned in Monroe programs, exploring consciousness together, and building meaningful connections with others who share similar interests. They also offer opportunities for people who are new to Monroe to learn more about the Institute, its programs, and consciousness exploration.
Groups meet in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format. Meetings may include Monroe Sound Science™ and Hemi-Sync audio experiences, discussions, guest speakers, Monroe news, and opportunities to share experiences in a supportive environment. Some groups also gather socially to connect and explore topics related to consciousness and personal growth.
Monroe Community Groups are led by one or more volunteer leaders who receive mentoring and ongoing support from Monroe’s Outreach team. Approved MCG Leaders also have opportunities to connect with other Outreach leaders through monthly Outreach calls and receive assistance promoting new groups to Monroe participants in their area.
