Monroe Institute Outreach Program and Hemi-Sync Retreats
The EXCURSION WORKSHOP I: is a two-day program, July 13-14, 2013, designed to teach the basic tools, techniques, and principles of mental, emotional, and spiritual growth as taught at The Monroe Institute. TO KNOW: "we are more than our physical bodies". Participants listen to Hemi-Sync, an audio-guidance technology created to assist in integrating consciousness. Participants become familiar with such expanded states of consciousness as Focus Level 10 – “Mind Awake/Body Asleep”, Focus Level 12 – “Expanded Awareness”, and the “one-breath technique”. No prerequisites for this program. For more workshops and Hemi-Sync retreats visit: www.TheZen3ffect.com

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
5 Years.
What is your primary product or service?
I am a Life Coach and author of "How To Meditate" available on Amazon and Skillbites. I also offer workshops and retreats based on the consciousness expanding tools provided to me as a Monroe Institue Outreach Facilitator.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I became interested in the Monroe Institute because in the early 1990's I had begun having extraordinary experiences; I guess you would call them somewhat "mystical" in nature. I began researching to try to explain what was happening to me. I stumbled upon Joe McMoneagle's book "Mind Trek" where he mentions the amazing things they do at the Monroe Institute in expanding consciousness. I went there. OUTSTANDING! I was in graduate school at the time and it inspired my Master's thesis. After becoming an accredited Outreach Facilitator, I could see that even though I was a Licensed Professional Counselor, one week at Monroe, where we learn by exploring our internal world, we are able to understand in greater depth the nature of our own reality and our relationship to the universe, was so much more powerful for participants, it had such a positive impact on their lives that I am doing this work primarily, now, along with my writing and coaching.
I offer these amazing workshops in Chicago and Highland Park. If you go to my website: TheZen3ffect.com, you will be able to see the schedule and register for my upcoming workshops.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There are only a few of us accredited to do the Monroe Institute's Outreach Program - so I am in a very small pool of those qualified. As a Life Coach, I bring a unique background which I have just explained above. My coaching clients have written that "Carol is an intuitive coach, with genuine caring, who will go the extra-mile for clients. An out-of-the-box coach with her own style".
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
My coaching is done over the phone and I have clients in US, Canada, and Australia. I am always expanding. My workshops are currently offered in Chicago and Highland Park. I often get calls from people outside of these areas or even out-of-state requests to do my workshops and retreats for a community or organization, which I have done if the group is large enough 10 or more. I am also offering a version to corporations now for team building and wellness.
