The Thorn Institute

The Thorn Institute

The Thorn Institute is a Melbourne-based institute for the structured exploration of consciousness — introductory to advanced. Explore your consciousness quickly and deeply: unlock new understanding and experiences, and it might just change your life.

Our most-recommended way in is the Monroe Institute's flagship Gateway Voyage Online — an immersive, self-paced journey into expanded states of awareness, guided by Monroe Sound Science and the original voice of Robert A. Monroe. The Thorn Institute is a Monroe Institute affiliate and enrolling through us gets you 10 percent off.

There are four ways in. Explore on your own with the Sound Science primer, the curated library, or the Books shelf. Talk to us — free — on WhatsApp or a 15-minute call about Gateway, mentorship or what's right for where you are. Join a free weekly online sound session: Saturdays 10am AEST with us, Mondays 7:30pm with Jorge Golvano. Or commit, with the Gateway Voyage or something from the shop.

We also offer two free short guides — Lucid Dreaming and Out-of-Body Experiences — sent as a PDF when you drop your email.
