The Thorn Institute

The Monroe Institute in Australia

Daniel Spina, founder of The Thorn Institute and a certified Monroe Institute Outreach Trainer, runs the Monroe Institute's Exploring Consciousness workshop in Australia. You can join a Melbourne weekend, bring a workshop to your city or home, or start online.

We'd like to run Exploring Consciousness in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Tasmania, Canberra, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers, Darwin, Regional Victoria.

A workshop doesn't need a dedicated venue. We are mobile, and can bring the program to your city, your home or a space you know.

Around the world, it's common for these workshops to be held in people's homes. An intimate, familiar environment can be really conducive to a fantastic experience, so we welcome it.

If you'd like to host, or you know a place, leave your details and tell us where you are.
