Generative Trance

Taught by Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D.

Four five-hour live-stream webinars across four consecutive days (May 2-5, 2024) with Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D.

This core modules of the CIMA curriculum is a five hour live-stream webinar with Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. whereby participants will learn about and practice the new plasticities of consciousness...out of the limits of stuck frames (most of which are unconscious) to new possibilities.

Generative Trance illuminates the neuro-plasticity of consciousness, showing how in the mind, you can go anywhere from anywhere, anything can turn into anything. Any part of consciousness—a memory, a relationship, a symptom, an emotion, a habit—can transform into something quite extraordinary. To quote John Lily: "In the province of the mind, there are no limits."

This is the work Dr. Gilligan has been doing for over 50 years, as a psychotherapist, trainer, coach, and researcher. Inspired by his teacher, Dr. Milton Erickson, Dr. Gilligan developed generative trance as a set of practical methods to creatively engage each moment as an opening into infinite possibilities of change and development. The method is designed to be both disciplined and flowing, a mosaic of generative principles to become a master magician.

Creative Mind

Taught by Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D.

This core modules of the CIMA curriculum is a five hour live-stream webinar with Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. Creative Mind is the work that Dr. Gilligan more recently developed in response to the multiple global irruptions of our time. It sees these ever-growing pathologies as reflecting deep dissociation of the isolated ego from nature, ancestors, the spirit world, and cross-ideological commonalities. It articulates a generative set of methods, applicable at both individual and collective levels, to form a creative mind that thinks and acts within the unbroken wholeness of life.

The Hero's Journey

The Hero's Journey

Taught by Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D.

Four five-hour live-stream webinars across four consecutive days (October 3-6, 2024) with Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D.

This core modules of the CIMA curriculum is a five hour live-stream webinar with Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. The Hero's Journey is the underlying story that the American Mythologist Joseph Campbell found present in every culture across time. It is the story wherein a person feels and follows a life calling to heal some deep brokenness...first in one's self and then in the world as a whole. This was an integral part of Dr. Gilligan's earlier work. Its current renewal sees the deepest schism being the dissociation of the human mind from nature (non-verbal) consciousness, and the image of the "hero" as mmoving from a courageous male who single-handedly defeats evil to a collective community that restores the deeper wholeness of mind and nature, thereby supplanting ego-isolation with eco-integral wholeness.
