2008 PROFESSIONAL SEMINAR OVERVIEW
by Editor
On March 22, 2008, over sixty TMI professional members, Monroe family members, and
special guests arrived at the Nancy Penn Center to register for Hemi-Sync®: Varieties of
Experience, the Twenty-first Professional Seminar. This very special occasion was the first
opportunity for most of those in attendance to meet Paul Rademacher, the Institute’s new
executive director.
After a sumptuous dinner in the Nancy Penn Center dining room, we adjourned to David
Francis Hall for the opening ceremonies. Paul’s resonant voice embraced everyone, and he
began his remarks by honoring the many contributions that have helped to create the enduring
legacy of TMI. In particular he singled out Bob and Nancy Monroe, Laurie Monroe, and Nancy
McMoneagle as guiding lights through formative years. Paul then commented on how the
curiosity and creativity that drove Bob in his research will continue to be the hallmark of our
efforts as the Institute grows in new and ever expanding directions.
As so frequently happens with the keynote address, “The Healing Energy Experiments:
Science Reveals our Natural Power to Heal” by Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, created a congenial
context for the presentations that followed. The diverse topics included introducing Hemi-Sync
in allopathic medical institutions, using energy work to enhance the response to a Hemi-Sync
OUTREACH exercise, employing Hemi-Sync and other innovative tools to enrich educational
environments, an analysis of residential program benefits, a report on a long-term project
devoted to exploring Focus 27, Hemi-Sync as a springboard to creating individual
soundscapes for severely disabled students, and, not least, the amazing power and versatility
of METAMUSIC®.
On both Sunday and Monday evenings, professional members divided into two groups to
dialogue with Paul Rademacher. Those brainstorming sessions produced a cornucopia of
ideas, some of which Paul shares in this issue of the TMI Focus. Among those participating
were founding professional members as well as members who joined mere months before the
seminar. One of our newest members came all the way from Israel, fulfilling a dream first
conceived in the early 1990s.
As we dream, plan, and create together, The Monroe Institute will continue to contribute
“something of value” in the twenty-first century and beyond.
