November 7-9
Sensitive use of hypnotic states allows us to bypass our analytical minds to access our inner wisdom. This workshop trains us in the skills necessary to induce hypnotic states and to use these states for personal healing and creative expression.
Through such learning, we can succeed in forming natural, new, permanent behaviors in our lives. We can acquire the ability to:
Recognize the physical and emotional cues necessary to evoke hypnotic states.
Use vocal intonations and gestures to induce trance experiences.
Create original strategies to fit each person's unique needs.
Create learning tasks to form new behaviors.
We will use hypnotic techniques to develop a dialogue between our conscious and unconscious minds, accessing and holding onto those states of mind or feelings associated with peak experiences. By bringing the healing power and beauty of nature into ourselves, we reincorporate our minds back into our bodies, reawaken our dormant aesthetic imagination, and revitalize our lives once more. This workshop is appropriate for both beginners and more advanced practitioners of hypnotic learning.
