Introduction to Erotic Hypnosis
Workshop fee: $40/person. Pre-registration is required. Buy your tickets HERE.
We all have experience with trance states. Have you ever been so engrossed in a book that you missed your bus stop? That's trance. Have you inadvertently put someone into a trance with activities like flogging or rope? Probably. This class helps you learn how to reliably return to that state anytime.
Hypnosis is fundamentally simple: it's using language and concepts to program the mind. We do this with each other - and for ourselves - all the time. Learning to use our words with more deliberation and clearer consent makes all our interactions more productive and more satisfying.
Even if you don't pursue hypnosis, being more attentive to what you say and how you say it is beneficial everywhere. Learning some hypnosis concepts makes all your communication more crisp and effective.
Workshop structure
In this workshop we will explore the nature of hypnosis, so you'll have a sense of what's going on for the hypnotist and for the subject. We'll explore key concepts, and learn useful terms like trance, induction, suggestion, and trigger.
Max will do several demos, and everyone who's interested will have an opportunity to practice doing an induction and/or going into trance.
And then we'll talk about some fun things to do with hypnosis. Want to help someone become the perfect kitten? How about feeling like you're being singletailed with just a touch? Or perhaps you'd like to give someone the ability to make you aroused - or not aroused - with a word or gesture. The list of fun ways to use hypnosis is nearly endless.
Playing with hypnosis requires a keen understanding of consent. There are subtleties and considerations unique to this sort of play, and we'll spend some time discussing hypnosis risks and risk mitigation. Luckily hypnosis risks are generally just clearer manifestations of the risks we always encounter when we do kink.
As with all of Max’s workshops, a handout will be provided to facilitate your learning and retention.
This workshop assumes no previous BDSM or hypnosis experience and is fully appropriate for all genders, all orientations, and for both tops and bottoms.
Playing with language is fun, powerful, and deeply satisfying. Join Max for an evening of exploration.
