This is a beginning course in trance, which is the state we are trying to achieve when we use the techniques of hypnosis.
We're going to look at trance in a different way than you might have encountered before in popular culture or in conventional approaches to teaching hypnosis, and you'll learn some new ways of communicating directly with that part of you, or your trance partner. We will also discuss ethics and consent, and the features of trance that require special attention and care in those areas .

Consensual Brainwashing is a multi-faceted and integrated approach for creating what we call "radical compatibility." It is a training approach that makes deep and lasting identity changes to the subject, such that their needs and desires become radically aligned with those of the hypnotist. In this sense its goals are very different from those of consensual slavery, in that the brainwashed subject has no sense of being forced or compelled: they just find that whatever the hypnotist asks of them, is what they already wanted to do anyway.
Consensual Brainwashing is not for everyone. Many people are drawn to hypnosis and D/S because they enjoy the feeling of compulsion, of being forced, of wanting to resist but being unable to do so. But for many others, their definition of submission is to be entirely and joyously guided and led by their dominant partner. For the latter group, Consensual Brainwashing is the gateway to a deeply satisfying relationship and experience. And we do mean relationship: The process changes both the hypnotist and subject in ways that create a strong and persistent bond. Both informed consent and mutual commitment to the resulting relationship are essential prerequisites to doing this work.

This workshop begins with an overview of rope bondage techniques and materials, with lots of "show and tell" items and pointers on buying appropriate bondage materials.
The remainder of the class is a hands-on workshop, full of useful knots and easy-to-tie positions. By the end of the workshop you will have some basic skills and will be able to tie up your partner with grace and confidence.
No prior knowledge of bondage or knots is assumed for this class - it's perfectly appropriate for beginners. This class also works well if you've already done some bondage and want to tune up your technique.

If you've been wondering about erotic hypnosis, here's a great opportunity to learn from Lee Allure.
This entry-level class demonstrates the basics of getting people into trance, both instantly and traditionally. It offers a good base for budding hypnotists to use to explore their partner's minds, and concentrates on practical applications, post hypnotic suggestions, practice, and safety.
This workshop will include opportunities for practice so you'll be able to repeat your successful inductions, as either a hypnotist or as a subject.
