Exploring Consciousness (Virtual Retreat)

I am a senior telecommunications engineer and have been an outreach trainer for the Monroe Institute since 2008, as well as a member of its Professional Division. My life’s work is dedicated to exploring the vast field of consciousness phenomena and guiding others in developing their latent psychic abilities to journey beyond the boundaries of physical reality.

To this end, I lead Monroe workshops in Spain (both online and in person) where participants can experience and train in these transformative practices. I also train others in remote viewing, using Monroe technologies while staying true to the original Stargate program methodology.

With several decades of practice, research, and passion, I train people in lucid dreaming, astral travel, and out-of-body exploration, disciplines that form the core of my deepest vocation. Alongside this, I write books on altered states of consciousness and their influence on ancient religions, mythology, and spiritual traditions.

I am also a frequent lecturer and a regular contributor to Spanish media (radio, television, and online platforms), where I participate as both a guest speaker and collaborator.

Soy ingeniero superior de telecomunicaciones e instructor outreach de Monroe Institute desde 2008, además de miembro de su División Profesional. He dedicado mi vida a la exploración de los fenómenos de la conciencia y a guiar a otras personas en el desarrollo de sus capacidades psíquicas latentes para viajar más allá de los límites de la realidad física.

Con este propósito, imparto talleres del Monroe Institute en España (tanto en línea como de forma presencial) donde los participantes pueden experimentar y entrenarse en estas prácticas transformadoras. También entreno a otros en visión remota, utilizando las tecnologías del Monroe Institute y siguiendo fielmente el método original del programa Stargate.

Con varias décadas de práctica, investigación y pasión, formo a otras personas en sueños lúcidos, viajes astrales y experiencias fuera del cuerpo, disciplinas que representan el núcleo de mi verdadera vocación. Paralelamente, escribo libros sobre los estados modificados de conciencia y su influencia en las religiones antiguas, la mitología y diversas corrientes espirituales.

Asimismo, participo habitualmente como conferenciante y colaboro de manera regular en medios de comunicación españoles (radio, televisión y canales de internet), tanto como invitado como en calidad de colaborador.

She is the founder of Harmonic Vision, center of research and development on the States of Consciousness and Creation of Global Value, since 2001, which is the topic of her PhD ethnology research.

She has finalized in her research, keys for understanding 7 states of Consciousness and showed their connection with 7 levels of professional practices which create Global Value (economic, human, environmental, societal). So she has been experimenting for years measurement criteria on States of Consciousness associated with Creation of Global Value.

From this research she creates a label called “Conscience et Action”, and the “Free University Conscience et Action”. The objective is to create “Conscience et Action” companies in every activity which are able to regenerate the eco- system. Actually, people can learn 7 professional trainings. In 2009, the experimental center “La grande terre” on a 15 hectares land, on the edge of a river in the Cevennes have been bought; today a lot of activities are developed. It is a reference for the “C and A” label. She creates a non-governmental organization (ngo) called Conscience et Action for creation of global value, in connection with her research. The NGO works in 3 lines of development: education from childhood to the third age, creation of pilots centers called Conscience et Action to regenerate the ecosystem, creation of the charter of basic rights and obligation for kingdoms and elements.

Her researches led her to create an educational method called Cesia (consciousness, exploration, stabilization, integration, action), with 7 techniques to explore consciousness, from which she sets up numerous seminars on the theme of her research,  Consciousness Exploration and Creation of Global Value.

The meeting with the Monroe Institute® was very important to contribute to the researches. In 1999 she discovered the Monroe Institute with Gateway Voyage®, the richness of the exploration of consciousness with Hemi-Sync®.  She has been since 2001, an  Off-Campus Residential Trainer in French in France, currently she conducts various graduate programs: Gateway Voyage, LifeLine, Exploration 27®. Moreover, she is a professional member of The Monroe Institute.

After a university training, she obtained a postgraduate research degree in organic chemistry, a postgraduate diploma in business administration, then she has been working for 12 years in management and human resources consulting and strategy for a international industrial company. During this time she came back to study at the university and she got a master's degree in psychology and a postgraduate research degree in ethnology, she prepare an ethnology PHD.

In parallel, she has been for 6 years vice-president of a non-profit organization accredited by the United Nations organization.  She has become a Hatha Yoga teacher (that she has been practicing since she was 11), a kundalini yoga teacher, a naturopath, then she has followed various training courses on vibration medicine.

Her multidisciplinary training in university, her researches and experimentation on exploration of consciousness make her today one of the specialists which make a link between exploration consciousness techniques and creation of global value in professional activities.

Formarea și activitatea mea profesională inițială s-au desfășurat într-un domeniu orientat către structură, analiză și rigoare. Viața mea era, din exterior, stabilă și funcțională, iar o schimbare de direcție profesională nu a fost niciodată un obiectiv urmărit. Parcursul care s-a conturat ulterior nu a pornit dintr-o intenție de reinventare, ci dintr-o experiență interioară care a început să ceară atenție.

La un moment dat am constatat că, deși totul părea „așezat”, nu mai reușeam să mă bucur cu adevărat de ceea ce trăiam. Această disonanță între o viață structurată și o stare interioară dificil de numit a devenit, în timp, imposibil de ignorat și a deschis un proces profund de cunoaștere personală. Nu printr-o decizie clar formulată, ci printr-o sincronicitate pe care astăzi o privesc cu recunoștință.

O astfel de sincronicitate m-a adus în contact cu experiența Gateway Voyage din cadrul Monroe Institute, experiență care a marcat începutul unui proces de explorare a conștiinței ce continuă și astăzi.

A urmat o explorare susținută, aprofundată prin participarea la numeroase alte programe ale Institutului, precum și printr-o practică meditativă individuală constantă. În acest context, atenția mea s-a îndreptat tot mai mult către straturile profunde ale psihicului — subconștientul și inconștientul — și către modurile în care acestea pot fi accesate și înțelese prin experiență directă.

Pe măsură ce această explorare s-a adâncit, a apărut dorința firească de a contribui la misiunea Monroe Institute și de a sprijini diseminarea acestor perspective, motiv pentru care m-am alăturat Institutului în rolul de Outreach Trainer.

Din același parcurs s-a născut și interesul meu pentru lucrul cu visele. Ceea ce m-a atras în mod special a fost asemănarea dintre modul de comunicare specific viselor — predominant simbolic — și felul în care informația este uneori percepută și comunicată în stările Focus din cadrul explorării conștiinței. În ambele cazuri, experiența nu este transmisă prin analiză mentală sau explicații conceptuale, ci prin imagini, simboluri și trăiri directe, uneori simbolice, alteori surprinzător de clare.

Convergența dintre aceste moduri de comunicare experiențială a stat la baza interesului meu pentru studiul viselor și al rolului lor, precum și pentru lucrul cu constelațiile sistemice și simbolice ale viselor. Explorarea conștiinței, așa cum este susținută în programele Monroe Institute, are un potențial transformator profund, care apare ca rezultat al experienței directe. Lucrul cu constelațiile se desfășoară printr-un cadru diferit, orientat explicit către transformarea structurilor interioare, și permite, într-un mod propriu, accesarea resurselor latente situate dincolo de mintea conștientă, necesare vieții de zi cu zi.

Participarea la programele Monroe Institute a avut un impact profund la nivel personal. Direcția profesională care s-a conturat în timp a apărut natural, ca rezultat al cunoașterii de sine și al explorării conștiinței. În acest sens, reflecția lui Robert Monroe — „The greatest illusion is that mankind has limitations” — a devenit pentru mine mai degrabă o constatare a propriei experiențe decât doar un citat motivant.

Sunt, de asemenea, lider al grupului MCG România, alături de colegul meu Georgios Bagropoulos, contribuind la dezvoltarea și susținerea comunității Monroe Institute la nivel local.

• ENGLISH - 

My academic and professional background developed in a field oriented toward structure, analysis, and rigor. From the outside, my life appeared settled and functional, and a change in professional direction was never an objective I pursued. The path that gradually unfolded later did not begin as an intention to change my profession, but rather from an inner experience that started to ask for attention.

At a certain point, I realized that although everything appeared “settled,” I was no longer able to truly enjoy what I was living. This dissonance between an outwardly well-ordered life and an inner state that was difficult to name became, over time, impossible to ignore and opened a deep process of personal self-knowledge—not through a clearly formulated decision, but through a synchronicity that I now look back on with gratitude.

Such a synchronicity brought me to the Gateway Voyage experience within the Monroe Institute—an experience that marked the beginning of a process of consciousness exploration that continues to this day.

This was followed by a sustained exploration, deepened through participation in many other programs of the Institute, as well as through a consistent individual meditative practice. In this context, my attention gradually turned toward the deeper layers of the psyche—the subconscious and the unconscious—and toward the ways in which these can be accessed and understood through direct experience.

As this exploration deepened, a natural desire emerged to contribute to the mission of the Monroe Institute and to support the dissemination of these perspectives, which led me to join the Institute in the role of Outreach Trainer.

From this same path emerged my interest in working with dreams. What drew me in particularly was the similarity between the way information is communicated in dreams—predominantly symbolic—and the way information is sometimes perceived and communicated in Focus states within consciousness exploration. In both cases, experience is not conveyed through mental analysis or conceptual explanations, but through images, symbols, and direct inner experiences—sometimes symbolic, sometimes unexpectedly clear.

The convergence between these modes of experiential communication became the foundation of my interest in studying dreams and their role, as well as in working with systemic and symbolic dream constellations. Consciousness exploration, as supported within Monroe Institute programs, carries a profound transformative potential that emerges as a result of direct experience. Work with constellations unfolds through a different framework—one explicitly oriented toward the transformation of inner structures—and allows, through its own specific process, access to latent resources beyond the conscious mind that are essential for everyday life.

Participation in Monroe Institute programs had a profound impact on me at a personal level. The professional direction that gradually took shape emerged naturally as a result of self-knowledge and consciousness exploration. In this sense, the reflection of Robert Monroe—“The greatest illusion is that mankind has limitations”—has become for me less a motivational quote and more an experience, already integrated into my life.

I am also a leader of the MCG Romania group, together with my colleague Georgios Bagropoulos, contributing to the development and support of the Monroe Institute community at a local level.

After Davide concluded a long experience as lay minister in a Christian Church, he felt a deep inner call to explore consciousness beyond traditional boundaries, a call that led him to The Monroe Institute. Through several residential and virtual programs—Gateway Voyage, Lifeline, Exploration 27 (twice), MC Squared, Guidelines and Starlines I—he experienced profound inner shifts, greater serenity, and a clearer sense of purpose. Wanting to “give back” and support others on their own journeys, in 2014 he became an Outreach Trainer for The Monroe Institute and now also serves as a Local Chapter Leader in Milan, in northern Italy, as well as a trainer of Bruce Moen’s Afterlife workshops.

Since 2017 he has co-translated into Italian Bruce Moen’s first four books, making their explorations of the afterlife accessible to Italian readers. In 2018 he translated into Italian the ebook “Focus 10: Mind Awake/Body Asleep” by Frederick Aardema, followed in 2023 by the co-translation of “My Travels in the Spirit World” by Caroline D. Larsen. In 2024 he published his own book in Italian, “Luce e Tenebre – esperienze extra-ordinarie e lezioni dalla vita”, sharing some of the most significant experiences and insights from his path. Before dedicating himself fully to training and consciousness exploration, he worked for about 25 years as an underwriter in insurance companies, a long professional chapter that grounded his spiritual search in everyday life.

Both Nikate and Shri have a long-time interest in esoteric sciences. During their travels in India and abroad they always found time to visit people and places, allowing them to expand their knowledge about these sciences.
Reading is a passion and visiting book stores in search of another great read and more knowledge is a driving force. It was during one such visit in 1994 that the couple discovered Bob Monroe’s book, Journey’s Out Of The Body.

Fifteen years later in 2010, Nikate finally made his way to The Monroe Institute® to attend the introductory Gateway Voyage® program. Shri followed to attend the same program in 2012. They also attended and completed the Facilitator Training Program in the same year. Nikate has also attended Guidelines (2011), MC2 (2012),Remote Viewing (2014) & OBE(2015) . He is also a Off-Campus Residential trainer.

The couple has been profoundly influenced by the programs and the Hemi-Sync® technology. To share their experiences with others, they founded a nonprofit organization, Awareness Foundation. Programs offered include book clubs, meditation sessions, the TMI Excursion & Advance Excursion workshops as well as other related programs. Awareness Foundation is part of the TMI Local Chapter Network and has a regular Hemi-Sync® meditation session every Wednesday.

Stephen Ng Qui Sang has a highly curious mind that has led him to the exploration of spirituality.  In that exploration, he found Robert Monroe’s books and discovered a few key answers and even more questions.  In 2000, he attended the Gateway Voyage program and has enjoyed many programs since then. 

He is a professional engineer in the province of Ontario, Canada.  He has a Bachelor of Applied Science degree from the University of Toronto and a Master of Business Administration from the Schulich School of Business.  He directed an engineering consulting company and in the last 20 years managed several information technology departments for a major automotive and mobility company. 

Everything started much earlier than he used to think about the beginnings. Non-physical reality fascination existed in his life long before his first reading of Bob Monroe’s books in the early 1990’s. But, that was the turning point. Books by Monroe just blew his mind. He knew he had to go to the Gateway Voyage and find out everything for himself. This happened a couple of years later for the first time.

It was obvious for him to share all of this knowledge and discoveries with others, to inspire them to apply positive changes in their lives. So, he started presenting Hemi-Sync® workshops to a larger audience in 1997. Still, diving inward into consciousness he discovered the power of Pure Unconditional Love which irreversibly changed his life. That was another breaking moment that added a new perspective to his different overview. He is positively addicted to using this beautiful energy for powering creativity and manifestation. This helps him to realize his mission, too.

Pawel is also active as the Monroe Community Group Leader in Poland and a member of MI’s Professional Association. Additionally, he is a Bruce Moen’s Afterlife workshops trainer, and - as of his previous profession – he is still a software development enthusiast.
