Generative change means creating something beyond what has ever existed, whether in personal or professional life. At the heart of this process is attention to a person’s (or group’s) state as the core difference that makes a difference; that is, the creative outcomes are only as good as the underlying state.
Three unique days of encounters, exchanges, and co-creation. Working with clients and participants, four pioneers from different schools of change work will explore how their skills, approaches, and ideas differ and how they can be combined in order to span the creative field leading from “I” to “we.”
Trainers and seminar participants will explore the following questions: What is –methodological differences aside– the essence of human change work? Are there any principles that can be discovered, formulated, and passed on? Is there a chance for a cross-methodological cycle that could provide the basis for future coaching or therapy?
This brand new training in Systemic Trance Work (STW) synthesizes generative trance, especially integrating mindfulness and somatic-based consciousness, with systemic work involving multi-level identity systems. Generative Trance is seen as a fluid and powerful mindbody state where self-identity is created and transformed. STW sees these identity systems as holons—identities that are whole at one level, but just a part of a larger whole at the next higher level. This dual-level sensitivity requires skills of aesthetic intelligence—that is, harmonizing all the parts of an identity field to create an extraordinary performance.
For the 16th year, Skyote Mountain hosts a supervision group with Stephen Gilligan. This 3 1/2 day intensive community inspires breakthroughs at both personal and professional levels. We will generate together a safe ritual space in which to explore both the technical and personal aspects of Self-Relations and hypnotic work. Steve will teach Self-relations psychotherapy through lecture, demonstration, small-group exercises and therapy work in the center of the group.
How to create a happy and successful life
This special 2-day workshop focuses on how to use the hypnosis techniques of the legendary Milton Erickson to create positive success and happiness in all areas of life—your work, your personal relationships, and your relationship with your self. The first day will teach you how to become best friends with your unconscious mind, so you can develop the calm, creative state needed for success. You will learn how hypnosis can help you set positive goals, envision successful plans of action, and take action to make them real. WE will see how trance can help you move through the 3 stages in success—Dreamer, Realist, and Positive Critic.
