“ Generative Trance and Living the Hero’s Journey:
The ‘Trance-Formation’ of Psychological Realities” With Dr. Gilligan Ph.d.,

This advanced course, open to graduates of the first week or equivalent work with Dr. Gilligan, shows the possibilities of working within trance for generative change. A major theme is how trance phenomena model the basic dimensions of psychological reality—e.g. time, space, body identity, memory, the future, and perception—and how trance work can be used to cultivate a Generative Self capable of utilizing these phenomena in creative ways for major changes. Skills development include age regression and age progression; time distortion; dissociation; deep trance identification (exploring other identities in trance); and special communication techniques with the unconscious. These skills and practices will allow you to realize mastery of your own psychological realities, thereby enabling the Hero’s Journey to be lived in a deep way.

Major topics include: Using trance phenomena to create a Generative Self/Trance for health, happiness, helpfulness, and healing/How identity is created, maintained, and transformed via trance phenomenas/Utilizing this awareness to create higher consciousness/ How to accept and utilize your resistances, doubts, and blocks as part of generative development/Integrating the conscious and unconscious minds into a Generative Self/ How the Generative Self can heal wounds, improve competencies, develop deep intimacies, and generate transpersonal experiences.
