Creation Station residential version, and other residential programs, are held on campus at Monroe Institute, Faber, Virginia.

Purpose of Creation Station

The purpose of Creation Station is the exploration and expansion of consciousness to access creativity, with an emphasis in sound, visual, tactile, and literary arts. This program is co-trained by Ignacio Diaz, Jr., and Bob Holbrook.

Participants of Creation Station Residential Program will enjoy a weeklong residency at Monroe Institute. During the program, participants will discover new ways to access untapped creative sources through consciousness exploration. With the practice of exercises supported by Monroe Sound Science, participants reach expanded states of awareness, which provide access to creative impulses, potentials, and inspiration. Following these exercises, participants will have ample opportunity to create alone or in collaboration with fellow participants. The experience is enhanced by the beautiful backdrop of nature found in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Monroe Institute is located.

During the weeklong residency, participants are provided housing, meals, and time to rest, create and recreate. Throughout the program the group will meet for presentations and discussion centered on the exploration of consciousness and creativity, that can be accessed easily with Monroe Sound Science.

The program will be conducted using Zoom Meeting, a popular online platform for video conferencing and interactive online instruction.

The daily schedule is based on each virtual retreat's specific time zone.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Creation Station was a life changing event that has had a huge impact on my life. The magic of it began from the moment I made the decision to come to it. I have never felt so loved, valued, supported, and welcomed every step of the way. The days after I left were filled with synchronicities and beautiful meetings, that seemed to flow to me effortlessly, thanks to my new found open state of consciousness."

  • "It was a memorable week, and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate. I learned more about myself and was able to interact with some very amazing people, with whom I achieved a lasting bond. Best of all I came home with new inspiration to go deeper into the production of my own music in order to make it even better. Highly recommended."

  • "Taking part in this course afforded me some experiences in meditation that provided significant awakenings and realizations on my healing journey-both spiritually and physically...there was a shift that occurred in how I relate to myself as an artist, a deepening of my trust in my own choices and process, and the beginning of a new body of work. Creation Station was a pivotal week in my evolution as an artist and a human and I am grateful beyond measure for the opportunity."

  • "As a two time attendee of Creation Station, I am a true believer in the program. Being able to be around other musicians and creators in a safe, non-ego based space where we are all exploring the edges of consciousness and learning more about ourselves is a valuable experience. I’ve walked away from both Creation Stations (the live one and the online version) with breakthrough insights on projects, and life in general. The people I’ve met are incredible and I’ve formed long term relationships with several of them. If you are an artist looking for an introduction to an easy tap to your creative core, this is it."

  • "Creation Station (Virtual Retreat) was a wonderful experience for me. The exercises were powerful, especially one of them which helped me to unlock an emotional issue I must have stored away in my unconscious. I can imagine it is even more powerful as an in-person event in regards to interacting with the other participants in real life, but even as an online event, I was able to get a lot out of it. I can highly recommend it and hope to be able to participate again.

  • "I can still feel the weekend attending creation station in October [2023] very vividly in my mind and body as it has helped me make a major shift in my daily habits. I felt a deep physical and spiritual reset that I intend to integrate in my further journey. At first I was not sure how something like this would play out, in a small group setting and online via zoom, but Ignacio, the facilitator, was guiding everyone so effortlessly and was gently moving the conversations after each meditation forward creating a completely safe space for everyone's feelings. The exchange with the group after each experience was very inspiring and after these three days it felt like strangers became friends. I am very grateful to have been part of this transformative experience, especially for the facilitators guidance and shared wisdom during the retreat."

  • "Creation Station is an incredible experience that I would recommend to any artist looking to expand their craft and consciousness. Both the exercises and the participants that this course attracts have left me with a renewed appreciation for both music and my own spirituality. I am amazed at how Monroe Sound Science has evolved as well as their commitment to raise awareness through supporting creatives."
