Learning Objectives

1. To inspire the creative process in our day-to-day living, to transcend obstacles and mundane thinking to be the best we can be.
2. To learn archetypal models that are relevant to artistic expression. Archetypal energies are introduced through hypnosis to explore the unconscious, access the creative psyche, and converse with the over-protective shadow-self. These energies transform the negativity and anxieties that often block creativity by facilitating a free flow of our imaginative processes. Workshops draw on a diversity of archetypal energies illuminated by C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, Marie-Louise von Franz, Robert A. Johnson, Robert L. Moore, Doug Gillette, Sallie Nichols, Robert Bly, etc.
3. Participants will experience through hypnosis guided episodes, putting theory into a practice of healing the creative psyche. Example: The physical experience of the Warrior Pose with skillful guidance expands consciousness, transcends frozen thinking habits, and taps into the richness of the imagination.
4. Participants will take away a process to explore, discover, assess, and liberate the creative self through an interactive and iterative process of hypnosis.
