Atwater says the Healing/Regeneration Center is a Focus 27 experience tied to the Park or reception center concept from Lifeline. In a two-year qualitative study he asked 87 experienced participants in the Institute's Beyond Exploration 27 program to describe it, sealing the question in an envelope until afterward so that expectations would not color the answers. Seventy-two percent wrote an answer. The Institute's page today says participants may invite physical or emotional healing, release, forgiveness or a stronger life force, at their own choice. What participants report Accounts range widely. One participant wrote in the Hemi-Sync Journal that Focus 27 felt like home and that, when instructions came to return, they reacted with an adamant no way. Taylor met two personalities in Focus 35, nicknamed Heckle and Jekyll, and says that as she descended to ordinary reality they said she would receive a gift: a constantly available doorway into Focus 35. Atwater recalls that when he asked who gave Bob the Hemi-Sync idea, he was told to look it up in Focus 27's library, where the answer had to do with shape. Bringing it back: creativity and daily life

Taylor, who began with the Institute in 1996 and completed Gateway Voyage, Guidelines, Lifeline and Exploration 27, says the Focus 35 connection has enhanced her art and teaching. She had worried about parental disapproval of using Hemi-Sync with her students and says a solution presented itself only after Exploration 27. She notes she has no statistical analysis, only twenty years of teaching experience, but reports a calmer, more productive classroom and higher student creativity. The home version: Union, based on Exploration 27 The publisher lists Union as a Gateway Experience album it introduces as A Journey Beyond Time and Space, with eight guided exercises including a special tour of Focus 27, a healing center and an experience of graduating from the Earth Life System. It states that the album is based on the Monroe Institute's Exploration 27 program. The residential week is longer, adds trainers and a group, and has the prerequisites described above.
Susan Taylor: “Exploration 27 was a real treat. More than half of the participants were good friends from previous programs, and I anticipated the great adventure of experiencing what Bob had called “The Gathering” in Focus 35. Immediately upon my arrival in Focus 35, two personalities greeted me. They were so totally alien that if I had encountered them outside the security of my CHEC unit with trusted friends and trainers nearby, they would have been utterly terrifying. Safe in familiar surroundings, I approached them with curiosity and openness rather than fear.” (2000 Professional Seminar: Beyond Focus 27-Wellsprings of Creativity (Richard Werling & Susan Taylor) — Beyond Focus 27-Wellsprings of Creativity - Susan Taylor.pdf, 2000) “In Focus 27, time had the same flavor as the hour and a half in the crop circle and the meditation in Stonehenge. In each experience, I felt “at home.” In fact, in the expanded Focus 27 space, when instructions were given to return, I reacted with an adamant “NO WAY!”” (Hemi-Sync® Journal 1999-3 (Summer) — 1 Hemi-Sync® Journal 1999-3 Summer.pdf, 1999)
