The Art of Hypnosis

Forget the hypnosis show you saw in Times Square; this is not a show or a performance act with stage tricks and theatrics. The Art of Hypnosis: Beyond Myths, Into Mindful Presence is an educational workshop presented by Taylor Death where you’ll gain a clear understanding of how hypnosis and trance truly work within a safe, consensual space for self-discovery, unlocking new possibilities for awareness and growth.

Here, we’re shattering the myths of hypnosis and trance. Trance is a naturally occurring state similar to daydreaming that we slip into every day. Our conscious and unconscious minds are in control; there is no getting stuck, giving up free will, or losing control. Do you trust your conscious and unconscious mind? Your journey will be led by a guest multi-certified educational hypnosis master trainer. Guest educator to be announced.

Experience hypnosis as a tool to step into trance and discover a space where barriers dissolve, inhibitions are released and deep connection channels are opened.

What you’ll explore:

• What trance really is, and why it’s a natural, everyday state
• How hypnosis works as a tool to access trance safely and consciously
• The role of consent and free will in every hypnotic process
• How to use hypnosis with your partner for a deeper emotional and physically pleasurable connection.
• Opening the door to unconscious parts of the mind for relaxation to release inhibitions.
• How Hypnosis can safely used in BDSM

Doors at 7:15pm - Workshop begins at 7:30pm.
