You already know the basics of erotic hypnosis? Excellent. Brand new to hypnosis? That's fine too.
On Saturday you'll learn to deepen your practice through the realms of touch-based suggestion and non-verbal communication. Hands-on exercises will help you learn how to do an entire hypnotic scene from induction through wakeup without ever uttering a word.
On Sunday we will explore the realms of transformation and memory play. You will learn how to play with memory and how to collaboratively explore entire new identities and personas (e.g. doll, slut, bimbo, vampire, etc.).
Schedule
Saturday: Doors open at 9:30 am. Event runs from 10:00 am till 7:00 pm.
Sunday: Doors open at 9:30 am. Event runs from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Saturday - Hypnosis Beyond Words
Doors open at 9:30 am. We'll get you registered, and then you're welcome to enjoy some coffee or tea and chat with the instructors and the other guests.
Headcrash and panavatar will be teaching from 10:00 am till 7:00 pm, and practice time will be built into the curriculum.
We'll take small breaks throughout the day, and we will provide a catered lunch from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your instructors and to do some community building.
We will start with a brief orientation and review the classical structure of hypnosis.
From there, we will dive into the realms of non-verbal suggestion and communication. Topics to be covered include:
- Negotiating for what you mutually want
- Establishing rapport and trust through touch
- Exercises for developing kinesthetic (touch) sensitivity for both subjects and hypnotists
- The magic of catalepsy: touch-based communication that bypasses the conscious mind
- Playing with poseability and automation.
- Long-term post-hypnotic suggestion & touch-based anchoring
- Sensory deprivation play
- Using rope & props
- Sensation as suggestion or induction
- Exercises specifically for subjects to enhance body awareness and physical responsiveness to touch
- Hypnosis as a tool for physical resistance play
Sunday - Transforming Identity and Memory
Doors open at 9:30 am. We'll get you checked-in, and then you're welcome to enjoy some coffee or tea and chat with the instructors and the other guests.
Headcrash and panavatar will be teaching from 10:00 am till 5:00 pm.
We'll take small breaks throughout the day, with a catered lunch from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm.
Sunday's focus will be using hypnosis to transform our sense of self for profound types of roleplay, identity transformation, and memory play.
These skills will be especially useful for things like age play, pet play, rape/abduction play, bimbofication/sissification, gender play, objectification (human furniture, doll/robot play) and other scenes that involve becoming another person or thing, as a subject or hypnotist.
Topics to be covered on Sunday will be influenced by input from attendees based on their particular interests in this realm, but we will begin with foundation techniques for understanding how to approach these elements of play, such as:
- The spatial nature of memory: how we can use internal world-building (similar to what we do in dreams) to temporarily store, transform, or create memories that can enhance our scenes or dynamics.
- How trance states can be anchored to memories, so we only remember certain things when we’re in their corresponding states.
- Anchoring transformation to props and actions: “Every time you put on your kitty ears, you can feel yourself becoming your kitten self.”
- The power of ritual.
- Transforming physical sensation and other sensory information.
- Methods of transformation: Inductions and suggestions.
- Negotiating transformation so you both get what you want--interpretation of characters, understanding of roles, etc.
- Safety: Tools for in-scene communication, safely returning to your normal self, etc.
- Removal of identity aka blank states.
- Linking transformation back into touch: How the internal self and the physical self can overlap for profoundly intimate experiences.
Note-taking and electronic devices
If you would like to take notes, please bring a pen and paper. Note-taking on a phone or similar device is also acceptable, but please clear it with us before class begins. Other than that, we ask that electronic devices be stowed whenever you are in class.
Who should attend?
This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations. You can bring a partner or a group of friends, but coming alone is completely comfortable and appropriate.
Both days will include frequent demos, paired exercises, and some group exercises. Dr. Headcrash & panavatar will be taking volunteers for many of the demos, and that, combined with mentored instruction, should give both subjects and hypnotists a number of opportunities for real time practice in these techniques as well as hypnosis in general.
The instructors are experienced in working with participants with varying levels of experience with hypnosis and BDSM. While the material is primarily geared toward those who have some familiarity with hypnosis, beginners will also find accessible course material and exercises and will benefit from working with their more experienced classmates.
We encourage you to attend this intensive with one or more practice partners, but you are also welcome to attend on your own. Paired and group exercises will not rely on prior deep intimacy or familiarity, and there will be a focus on building rapport and negotiation. We will make every effort to facilitate your partnered practice experience.
