I Trainer
The Trainers, who hold the courses, are accredited directly by the Monroe Institute. They are people with different backgrounds, who were the first to participate in his courses, appreciating the validity and depth of the experiences. They decided to contribute to the Institute's mission and its diffusion, to be of service and help others in leading a happier and more fulfilling life thanks to the Institute's method and technology.
Stephen led the way in 2009 as the first Monroe Institute Trainer in Italy. He became accredited in America in 2009 after taking his courses since 2007. He is a member of the Professional Division, LCN Regional Coordinator and Authorized Hemi-Sync dealer in Italy. Since 2014, he has founded the association “The Monroe Institute Italia,” of which he is President. His career path began with 15 years spent in the information technology and services industry. He then became involved in training for the next 8 years by running a training center in the medical health and professional fields.
His personal path led him to study Chinese medicine by becoming a Professional Shiatsu Practitioner; he studied Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) by becoming a Coach and Licensed Master Practitioner in NLP. He attended a Fourth Way school studying the teachings of G.I.Gourdijeff and P.Ouspensky, took courses in mental dynamics, shamanism and Reiki. Since 2010, he has decided to integrate passion and profession by committing himself full-time to the project of spreading and developing the activities of the Monroe Institute in Italy.
Since 2009 Stephen has been Outreach Trainer and since 2011 Residential Trainer for the Monroe Institute.
The path of growth, starts with oneself and arrives at an awareness of one’s potential. Pointing you to the best path is my job as a mental coach.
There is always a road “inside” that leads us to realize our goal “outside,” an energy that is often held back by our negative thoughts, fears, fears, uncertainties, beliefs. Simply put, the first obstacle to achievement is ourselves. And I realized that the strongest weapon at our disposal is communication with ourselves and others.
I listen and help people by training their minds, enhancing their personal resources, eliminating unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that can hold back achievement, and identifying the most functional thinking strategies for achieving personal and professional goals.
Luke holds a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and is a certified Six-Sigma Black Belt, working in industry for about 25 years.
Around the age of 20, he was subject to some spontaneous out-of-body experiences, which made him realize that we are more than our physical bodies.
Without having the tools and ability to manage that process advantageously, he began the quest for the missing part in his life: learning Non-Verbal Communication, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and eventually becoming an internationally licensed Trainer of both NLP®and LAB Profile®.
The meeting with the Monroe Institute occurred during a Remote Viewing seminar. Attracted to Monroe audio technology and its applications, while attending the first TMI Outreach seminar available in Milan, Luca had a transformative experience, after which he attended several residential programs (Gateway, Lifeline, Exploration 27, Lucid Dreaming Intensive, Starlines, Conscious Presence).
Personal experiences in Spiritualist Churches, Shamanic Practices, Holotropic Breathing and a near-death experience have given him a taste of the afterlife and the possibility of recovering more parts of himself, developing a purpose in daily existence.
Today Luke is an Outreach and Residential Trainer and member of the Professional Association, which integrates Monroe Audio Technology with other disciplines for personal well-being.
He decided to follow the TMI method because it is an intention-driven process of inner exploration that creates a learning environment in which self-imposed limits can be overcome easily and safely.
Understanding energy phenomena, connecting with the Higher Self and various practical tools to use in everyday life are the main themes presented during the programs he has conducted internationally.

I am an osteopath, counselor in psychogenealogy, scholar of vibrational medicine, and creator of the 4R® technique. Through the integration of my studies with other subjects, including biological medicine and the soul movements characteristic of family constellations, I have been able to merge different approaches with the goal of synergistic action on body, mind and spirit. Over the years I have deepened my explorations into expanded states of consciousness, in part because of the valuable courses at the Monroe Institute, reporting much of the information in my books.
In individual sessions, we work with the study of the family tree, we will try to raise awareness through a change of vision and a broad look at the familiar field of information that resonates with the soul projects. The small and the large will merge in the vision of oneself, one’s family, and one’s soul.

At the age of 18, Luke became aware that inner reality was influencing outer reality, and he began to ask questions about the nature of his personal experiences and embarked on an individual search for truth.
Over time he collected experiences and information on the subject until he realized that these answers and truths he researches have to do with human consciousness, studies on the subject led him to become interested in the Monroe Institute. By participating in the institute”s various programs, he has benefited personally so much that he has chosen to spread its values and tools.
One of the phrases Luke has always been inspired by is, “Learning is an experience everything else is information,” his hope is that one day everyone will have the opportunity to access expanded states of consciousness.
Danilo is an Outreach Trainer, physician, psychiatrist, psychotherapist and author.
He was initially trained in Gestalt Psychotherapy; he later delved into the systemic model, through Bert Hellinger’s Family Constellations method and L. Greemberg’s Emotion-Focused Therapeutic (EFT) model, with an emphasis on Dr. Sue Johnson’s Couples Therapy (EFT-T). He also delved deeper into the psychology of character by training in the Psychology of Enneatypes with Claudio Naranjo.
In addition to the psychological-relational aspects, he has also been trained in the field of Psychotraumatology, through F. Shapiro’s EMDR and P. Levine’s Somatic Experiencing models, as well as in the field of Mind-Body integration, from PNEI psychosomatics to the latest models supported by quantum biophysical knowledge.

In 1995 he founded the Gestalt Pordenone Institute, an organization that provides training in communication and helping relationships, conducting seminars and trainings aimed at individuals or professional groups.
In 2015 he became aware of Bob Monroe’s work through reading his books and participating in Exploring Consciousness and Gataway Voyage. From there, a journey that never ended began: he subsequently participated in other residential TMI programs, and the exploration of consciousness became increasingly integral to his evolutionary process and clinical work with his patients.
Since his first experiences with TMI programs, he has particularly appreciated the simplicity, safety and extreme effectiveness of the audio technology used, which makes it possible for everyone to have direct and profound self-knowledge.That is why he decided to become an Outreach Trainer and to pass on the incredible possibilities that the Monroe Institute’s programs allow. Not only experience non-ordinary states of consciousness, but also understand everything beyond the physical/material plane.
Health, in the fullest sense, and personal fulfillment cannot manifest without a deep understanding of who we are, our potential and the spiritual reality of which we are a part: this is what animates and motivates his work.
