The LCN hosts free gatherings, both physical and virtual, where you can share your questions, your experiences; where you can catch up with TMI news and participate in group Hemi-Sync® and SAM exercises, or hear guest speakers.

How do you maintain a personal relationship with the Institute after or between programs, especially if you live outside of Virginia, USA, as most TMI participants, trainers, members, grads, supporters, and friends do?

How do you connect with others like yourself who want to stay current on TMI trends?

How do you find a Monroe community far from the Virginia campus?

Through the extensive Local Chapter Network—a bright and vital TMI community. Designed, administered, and led by a strong, dedicated all-volunteer team, the LCN has established a presence of 60 local chapters in 13 countries on 5 continents. The LCN is about 2,500 members strong with approximately 500 attending monthly Local Chapter meetings, and growing!

TMI Tacoma is my peer group. I would be lost without it! If I had no one to talk to about the experiences I have had thanks to TMI, my brain would explode.   ~ Chapter leader James in Tacoma, Washington, (from the TMI blog by Tip Walker)

    Did we mention volunteers? Without them, there would be no Local Chapters. Thank You! for your dedication and service.The LCN “ … started back in 2008 as an idea that by 2009 had become a reality. Paul Rademacher, then executive director of the Institute, threw his whole-hearted support behind the creation of this outreach effort after traveling around the US and Canada connecting with Institute enthusiasts. During his travels he asked TMI graduates what they needed most from TMI. The resounding response was ongoing support once people returned home after attending a TMI program. The LCN stepped up to fill that need.” (reposted from the TMI blog by Tip Walker)  The LCN mission was quickly expanded to include all TMI enthusiasts—veterans and newcomers alike. The Local Chapter Network exists thanks to the brains, brawn, and heart of each Local Chapter leader and LCN Leadership Council member.

    Your current Leadership Council members are—

    • Mark Crewson, moderator and liaison to TMI from LCN
    • Beth Haley – Americas chapter liaison
    • Anja Lysholm – Eurasia chapter liaison
    • Elissa MacLachlan – communications coordinator
    • Carol Monroe – liaison from TMI to LCN
    • Thomas Mooneagle – the chapter registrar and technology coordinator, the onboarding process 

    A big shout-out and giant kudos to former Leadership Council members!
