DOWNSTAIRS IN Arthur Hall

CJ's mentor, Arthur Hall was a healer, visionary, teacher and internationally known dancer and choreographer. Among his many honors, Arthur was awarded the National Endowment for the Arts Choreographers Award as well as the City of Philadelphia’s Human Rights Award. 
​
​CJ is not a dancer, and how Arthur became CJ's mentor is a pretty interesting story.

Our Mission

Cultivating a Haven where both peace and life-changing moments can be realized is Haven's purpose.

The Monroe Room is named for Robert Monroe, business magnate, author, radio show producer, and pioneer in the exploration of human consciousness. He developed Hemi-Sync audio technology to help people easily access, expand and explore their consciousness, and founded the nonprofit Monroe Institute (TMI), to study  its extensive uses, and research a its extraordinary capabilities. 

Long rumored, it has, that Yoda was based on Bob Monroe.
HAVEN'S STORY
Stephanie Rae (the former Executive Director of The Avena Institute) and I (an entrepreneur fond of soap and lip balm) founded Haven in the fall of 2008. Haven was born out of our friendship and our love for the exploration of consciousness, deepened between 2004 to 2008 when we met weekly to discuss our personal and spiritual development.

It was during these years of exploration that we happened upon the nonprofit Monroe Institute ("TMI"), and by listening to TMI's audio technology "Hemi-Sync", found that we could explore and expand our consciousness like never before. It was easy, safe, and often, our Hemi-Sync experiences were simply nothing short of astounding. 
"We are more than our
​physical bodies."
- Robert Monroe, Founder of The Monroe Institute
It wasn't long before we became affiliated with TMI, as  members of the Professional Division and as Certified Facilitators (aka: instructors or trainers). Then we launched Haven to share it all, transforming CJ's business offices into a Center where the exploration of consciousness could take center stage in a space which enhanced and supported these incredible adventures.

We use Hemi-Sync in almost all our programs because just by listening, doors to seemingly endless levels of awareness can be safely and easily accessed by anyone, and from these expanded states of awareness, we can explore and heal and transform and transcend and accomplish, and experience profound life-changing things.

We invite you to visit Haven for a class, workshop or retreat, or just come by and try Hemi-Sync and see for yourself what an amazing adventure in self discovery life can be!

The Monroe Institute's GATEWAY AFFIRMATION

"I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. Therefore, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience; to Know, to Understand; to Control, and to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, and the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development, and experience are equal to or greater than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires."
