Residential Retreat Virtual Retreat

OBE Spectrum

Explore the out-of-body experience (OBE) phenomenon through a spectrum of experiential techniques: bi-location, lucid dreaming, near-death experience, and remote sensing.

You're viewing the Residential version of this retreat. View the Virtual retreat instead.

Explore the nonphysical state of being and the consciousness spectrum related to out-of-body experiences. Practice a variety of separation techniques with an emphasis on energy work in preparation for controlled out-of-body practice.

Know that you are more than your physical body. Explore your multidimensional nonphysical nature. Begin by learning Robert Monroe’s methods for achieving an out-of-body state, his personal exploration and his models of the nonphysical realm.

Learn to recognize the differences between OBE, Remote Sensing, Lucid Dreaming, and Bilocation. Explore additional models and perspectives that have emerged along the OBE spectrum. Develop skills for navigating, perceiving and interpreting within these additional nonphysical realms. Discover other perspectives that can deepen your understanding of self-directed consciousness exploration. Experience a greater wholeness and sense of freedom within all aspects of your nonphysical self.

Lucid dreaming and out-of-body states are somewhat similar, with each having its unique characteristics. Practice lucid dreaming techniques based on Monroe trainers Luigi and Thomas’ Lucid Dreaming program. Begin in a lucid dream and transform your experience into an OBE.

Another form of spontaneous OBE is a near-death experience. Learn how to deliberately enter the near-death realm. Experience the physical separation into the nonphysical, bask in the warm embrace of your energetic self and easily return to the physical realm at will.

Learn how to have an OBE with clarity, confidence and success. Developed by a team of Monroe trainers this OBE course draws upon over 50 years of experience in the field of human consciousness exploration. OBE Spectrum offers you a broad foundational knowledge of what an OBE is, the variations of an OBE and how to consciously initiate them at will.

Monroe Institute residential retreats welcome participants from around the world who are interested in a deeper exploration of expanded states of consciousness. Our experiential programs are led by highly skilled, Monroe-trained facilitators who share valuable tools, techniques and specially designed audio technology for accessing and exploring consciousness. You will learn to explore, navigate and use the non-physical aspects of your own higher consciousness to discover your unique purpose and path.

Join the tens of thousands of people who have attended a Monroe residential retreat. It’s a unique opportunity to awaken your consciousness and discover a new, more compassionate perspective of yourself and others—what and who you are and why you are here.

Program Application

You and your fellow retreat members will be housed together as a group in the same facility. Rooms are double occupancy, meaning you’ll be sharing a room with another guest. To ensure the highest quality experience for our participants, we require all registrants to complete a program application before being accepted into the program.
