James Tripp ๐Ÿ•™ 10:00 AM โ€“ 1:30 PM
Workshop: The Art of Co-creative Trancework:
Stop 'processing' your clients and start connecting with them. While stock protocols have their place, the most transformative work happens when the process is co-created in real time. This class teaches you how to ditch the scripts and leverage the power of David Grove's co-creative principles alongside Ericksonian strategies. You'll learn to build fluid, interactive trance-flows that are deeply resonant and impossible to detach from. Don't just follow a map-learn to navigate the landscape of your client's mind with flexibility, impact, and authentic presence.

About the Presenter:
James Tripp is a hypnotist, developmental coach, and author most widely known for his "Hypnosis Without Trance" approach to hypnotic facilitation. His work focuses on helping individuals master their minds, improve personal psychology, and achieve transformative change.

Michael Harris ๐Ÿ•‘ 2:00 PM โ€“ 5:30 PM
Workshop: Beyond Erickson: What Actually Changes People
Stop waiting for the trance to start the transformation. The most reliable shifts occur at the level of identity, often before the first formal suggestion is ever given. In this experiential presentation, you'll discover how to spot when a client's identity is already updating and how to speak directly to that emerging self. Through live demonstrations and practical frameworks, you will learn an evolved Ericksonian methodology that bypasses resistance and creates change with surgical precision. Leave with immediately applicable tools to make your work faster, deeper, and entirely client-driven.

About the Presenter:
Michael Harris, PhD is a Board Certified Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioners, and educator with more than twenty-five years of experience. His approach blends classical Ericksonian principles with modern refinements in identity-based change, calibration, and conversational influence. Michael teaches internationally through live trainings, private mentoring, and professional development programs.

Dale Turnbull ๐Ÿ•‘ 2:00 PM โ€“ 5:30 PM
Workshop: Stories Through the Stars: Dancing with Dichotomies - Stories that Shape and Shift Perspective
In the vast sky of human experience, our inner constellations hold the stories that shape who we are. They help us make meaning from scattered moments, illuminate patterns within complexity, and guide us through both inner and outer change. In this workshop, we'll explore how you can approach storytelling and story-creation in ways that help clients move through the polarities that keep them stuck. By learning to "dance with dichotomies," you'll discover how to chart new narrative paths that connect seemingly opposite stars of personality and behavior, bringing clients toward integration, insight, and transformation. This is storytelling as change work: metaphor-rich, experiential, and instantly applicable with the people you serve.

About the Presenter:
Dale is a Metaphors of Movement coach and trainer who helps people explore the metaphors, stories, and symbols that shape, and sometimes limit, their lives. With 12 years experience in change work and a background in NLP, Hypnosis, IEMT, and Provocative Change Works, Dale brings a relaxed, interactive style to his sessions. He's passioate about helping clients get unstuck, shift perspective, and discover new possibilities through metaphor, storytelling, and meaningful conversation.

For more than fifty years, pioneers like Milton Erickson, Dave Elman, and Bandler & Grinder shaped the foundations of hypnosis, NLP, and transformational change.

Today, the field continues to evolve.
The Next Generation explores what has emerged since those early frameworks:
more collaborative, embodied, identity-aware, and client-driven approaches that move beyond scripts and trance depth into true transformation.

Human beings live by storiesโ€”and those stories often contain polarities that keep us stuck.

In this metaphor-rich, hands-on workshop, Dale Turnbull invites participants to explore storytelling as a form of change work. Using the imagery of constellations and stars, participants learn how to help clients navigate inner dichotomies and integrate seemingly opposing aspects of identity.

Focusing is a powerful, accessible method for listening to the bodyโ€™s inner intelligenceโ€”a knowing that exists before emotions, images, or words.

In this workshop, Annette introduces the six simple steps of Focusing developed by philosopher Eugene Gendlin. Through guided, embodied exercises, participants will learn how to access the felt senseโ€”the subtle bodily awareness that carries insight, clarity, and direction.
