Question 1

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

You can bring your own water bottle. We have a bubbler where you can refill as needed. There’s a group hypnosis experience in each session (much like a guided meditation or yoga nidra). If you’d rather go into hypnosis lying down, feel free to bring a yoga mat, pillow, and blanket if you’d like.

Question 2

Will I have to take notes?

Accepted Answer

A binder with all course materials is provided, so no need to take notes unless you choose to. Paper and pens are also provided for those who like to take notes.

Question 3

Is it important to attend both sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each session provides different information and instruction to help you create your own self hypnosis practice.

Question 4

It says ages 16+ may attend. Do I need parental permission if I’m under 18?

Accepted Answer

Yes. People 16 and up may attend the workshop, but anyone under 18 must provide parental permission.

Question 5

What if I’m afraid to go into hypnosis with the group?

Accepted Answer

We will spend time in the first session debunking myths about hypnosis, so you will likely feel much more comfortable. And no one can be hypnotized unless they choose to be. Group hypnosis is a lot like guided meditation or yoga nidra. You’re free to relax into it or simply be present and observe.
