July 6-11:
“Generative Trance and The Hero’s Journey:
Connecting with the Inner Self”. With Dr. Gilligan, Ph.D.

This 6-day seminar is an intense experiential examination of what mythologist Joseph Campbell called the “hero’s journey”, wherein a person responds to the call to live a life that is transformational to the consciousness of self and community. We will explore the steps of the Hero’s Journey and how trance can be effectively used for these purposes, with the primary focus in this first week being how to connect deeply with the Inner Self.

You will learn how to develop and work within deep trance states in many ways. You will learn techniques for developing generative trance; establishing a connection with the inner self; identifying and transforming blocks and resistance; deepening trance; working with symptoms as trance states; transforming negative trance states into positive ones; mutual trance; generative trance; and specific applications of trance.
