THE EXPERIENCE
What a workshop feels like
Settle in somewhere comfortable, wrap up in a blanket, and rest your eyes. Guided by Hemi-Sync® audio through your headphones, you ease into deep relaxation while the group rests together in a calm, supported space.
There's no effort and nothing to perform — just gentle guidance, and room to let your own experience unfold.

WHAT IT IS
A direct, hands-on way into expanded awareness
The Exploring Consciousness workshop is a foundational, two-day course built on the Monroe Institute's renowned Gateway Voyage. In a small group, you'll use Hemi-Sync® guided audio to move into expanded states of awareness, access your own intuition and inner guidance, and learn to return to these states on your own.
There's nothing to believe and nothing to perform: the approach is experiential and non-dogmatic, so you discover what's true for you.
FOCUS 10
Mind awake, body asleep
A deeply relaxed state in which the body rests completely while the mind stays clear, alert, and receptive.
FOCUS 12
Expanded awareness
A state of widened perception that opens access to intuition, inner guidance, and insight beyond ordinary waking consciousness

OFFICIAL AFFILIATION
This workshop is led by a certified Monroe Institute Outreach Trainer using the Institute's official Exploring Consciousness curriculum and Hemi-Sync® audio technology — the same foundational method taught at The Monroe Institute.
Monroe Institute® and Hemi-Sync® are registered trademarks of The Monroe Institute. This workshop is offered by a certified Outreach Trainer and is not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
YOUR TRAINER
Laura Larion, MS, MLS
Laura Larion is a Monroe Institute Outreach Trainer whose path runs through both science and spirit. Her foundation is the scientific method, with published research spanning aerodynamics, hematology/oncology, and cardiac physiology, followed by years of healthcare leadership in strategy, operations, and technology. That same curiosity turned toward human perception and consciousness, leading her to immersive training at Monroe and to study expanded states, non-local perception, and the frontiers of consciousness with respected pioneers in the field.
The Monroe Institute resonated with Laura's lifelong way of discovering through exploration, experimentation, and direct experience. Her workshops are offered in the spirit of Bob Monroe's invitation not merely to believe, but to “go find out for yourself.” Grounded in method and open to the infinite, Laura holds a space that is intuitive and intentional — devoted to helping others remember their wholeness and bring its fullest expression into form.
