The group
We’re a local community for people who want to explore consciousness with the tools and techniques developed by the Monroe Institute.
Just as important, it’s a safe space to share, ask questions and talk about experiences that rarely have a place in everyday conversation. No judgment, and no belief system required. You don’t have to explain away your experience, and you don’t have to accept anyone else’s reading of theirs. We can be curious together.
New to Monroe?
An internationally recognized nonprofit dedicated to exploring human consciousness beyond our ordinary waking state. For decades it has paired guided exercises with audio technology so people can explore different states of awareness for themselves.
At our gatherings we might talk about out-of-body experiences, inner guidance, intuition, remote viewing or expanded states. There’s nothing you need to believe. Here are the tools: try them and see what happens.
A plain guide to the Focus levels.
- Focus 10
- Mind awake, body asleep.
- Focus 12
- Expanded awareness.
- Focus 15
- The state of no time.
- Focus 21
- The edge of physical reality.
Start here
Free recordings from the Monroe Institute, in the order I’d try them. Use stereo headphones, and give yourself a quiet room and enough time.

The Gateway Affirmation
Bob Monroe explains the Gateway Affirmation, the statement said at the start of every Gateway exercise, and why it is worded the way it is. A good first listen before any session.

The Gateway Open Exercise
A classic recording from the Monroe Institute archives, originally part of the residential Gateway Voyage program. Lie down, put on stereo headphones (the Hemi-Sync sound needs both ears) and follow Bob Monroe’s voice.

Gatherings
We meet twice a month, always on Sundays: once online and once in person in the Miami area. Dates and places change, so join our email list and we’ll tell you about each gathering.
Each gathering lasts about two hours. We talk, learn and share, but a big part is experiential: you’ll take part in one or more guided exercises with Monroe’s audio technology, not just talk about these states.
It’s free. At in-person gatherings, optional donations help cover the room.
Member benefits. After you attend your first gathering, in person or online, you become a member: six months of Monroe’s Expand app free, and access to the audio from our sessions on the members page.
No meditation or Monroe experience needed. Bring an open mind and a little curiosity.
Where we meet
The Glassbox at Miami Ironside.
A light-filled warehouse studio in Miami’s Upper Eastside, with a tropical garden for the conversations that keep going after the exercise.
