Gateway Voyage (Virtual Retreat)

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 nonphysical realm. During this transformational online retreat, you’ll gain the tools and techniques needed to navigate the nonphysical realm. You’ll experience deep relaxation and find the guidance that leads to profound insight. 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 Monroe Sound Science technology.  Learn from direct experience. For more than 40 years, the Monroe Institute has introduced thousands of people like you to the life-changing 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.  How it works Gateway Voyage Virtual Retreat is offered in two different real-time interactive online formats (see schedule for dates and formats)       A.
