Bob Monroe called Gateway “a voyage of self-discovery through the gateway of expanded awareness.” It’s the best way to begin your journey at the Monroe Institute—and is a prerequisite for many of our advanced consciousness training programs.
Learn to navigate the non-physical realm. During this transformational residential retreat, you’ll gain the tools and techniques needed to navigate the nonphysical realm. We’ll teach you to enter specific levels of expanded consciousness, like the state of no time. There you’ll experience deep relaxation and find the guidance that leads to profound insight. You’ll also explore the out-of-body state and other life-changing energy systems.
Tap into expanded states of awareness. Gateway accelerates your ability to go farther, deeper and faster into different dimensions of consciousness—thanks in part to our use of binaural beat audio guidance technology.
Shift your perspective on what’s possible. With a more enlightened understanding of self and how you relate to others, you’ll come to know your life’s purpose. With that knowledge comes gratitude for all aspects of your life.
Learn from direct experience. For more than 50 years, the Monroe Institute has introduced thousands of people like you to the life-enhancing benefits of the Gateway Voyage program. As the world leader in consciousness exploration, we believe that direct experience is the most powerful teacher. After completing Gateway, you’ll be prepared to participate in most of our advanced level programs.
