The Trainings

 Our small Learning Community

We deliberately maintain small, exclusive residential training groups, believing that personalized attention and individual support create the strongest foundation for becoming a therapist. This individual approach mirrors ancient apprenticeship traditions, allowing us to truly know each student and tailor our guidance to their unique path of growth.


The Mystery of Soul Connections

One of the most fascinating aspects of our work has been witnessing the clear soul agreements that seem to exist among students who travel from across the globe to train with us. In one remarkable year, five students from completely different countries discovered they had shared overlapping past lives—a beautiful reminder that our learning communities form through deeper currents than mere chance.


Honoring Diverse Paths to Healing

Over the years, we've had the privilege of training individuals from remarkably diverse backgrounds. Our students include:

  • Practicing therapists seeking to expand their modalities
  • Natural healers drawn to formalize their gifts
  • Energy workers, Reiki masters, and sound healing specialists
  • Healthcare professionals: doctors, nurses, surgeons
  • Educators, psychologists, and counselors
  • Artists and creatives exploring therapeutic applications
  • Caregivers and guides from various life experiences


Many arrive with skills developed through other professions or life experiences—backgrounds in caregiving, guiding, or healing work that provide rich foundations for therapeutic practice. Our role often involves helping students recognize and integrate these existing gifts with formal hypnotherapy training.


Accessibility and Growth

Our foundational trainings welcome everyone, particularly those seeking deeper self-understanding as part of their therapeutic development. We believe that knowing oneself is inseparable from the ability to hold healing space for others.


Beyond Training: Building Healing Communities

Many of our graduates have gone on to establish their own therapy practices, healing centers, and training schools. We provide ongoing mentorship for these endeavors, offering continuing dialogue to help practitioners discover their next evolutionary steps and supporting them as they build their own communities of healing.


Our Commitment to Excellence

To ensure the highest quality, deeply individualized training experience, we maintain a carefully balanced ratio of instructors, assistant instructors, and support staff to our small student groups. This structure allows for the personalized attention that transforms good training into truly transformative education.

Because we believe that exceptional therapists are not mass-produced—they are carefully cultivated through individual attention, authentic relationship, and the recognition that each healing practitioner brings their own unique gifts to this ancient art.


Transformational Healing

 Transformational Healing is an intensive 5-day training workshop designed for hypnotherapists, healers, and facilitators seeking to deepen their practice and personal transformation. This comprehensive program guides participants through a carefully structured journey of self-discovery and healing mastery, beginning with SRT principles to clear external energetic influences, followed by chakra attunement to align your personal energy system. Students then explore Enneagram core pattern recognition to understand their personality structure, engage in Archetypal Healing to transform shadow aspects into empowered light archetypes, and culminate in Quantum Jumping hypnosis—a powerful transpersonal experience that enables participants to leap into their desired timeline reality. The training concludes with cellular reprogramming techniques, teaching practitioners how to communicate directly with the physical body, DNA, and cellular structure to anchor their transformation at the deepest biological level. This experiential workshop combines ancient wisdom with cutting-edge consciousness techniques, creating lasting change for both personal evolution and professional practice enhancement. 

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Module One

The Transpersonal Module 1 (Part 1 of 2 Modules) holds a focus on experiential, practical and theoretical  approach to the world of Interactive Client - Centered Hypnosis and Trance Development.. The program includes other possibilities of inducing trance via Active Imagination and Active Dreaming. Personal development is a fundamental basis for this work and learning via experiencing as a therapist, observer and client brings a strong solid base. 


We follow the philosophy of believing that each individual has within them the ability to heal and evolve, and that we as their therapists guide this journey through facilitating exploration for our clients to rediscover their own unique resources.


As an aspiring therapist you will learn how to create a safe and unconditional environment for the client to discover the best possible solutions to their particular situation, and to develop resources and tools they can access in the future..

* Each  training varies as the requirements and styles and rhythms needed for each student coming from their own unique backgrounds with their own unique styles of learning ...We focus on enhancing what you know and supporting and bridging the material.  We understand learning is a unique process so we take time to evaluate- without judgement- as how well material is digested varies, so  each day the instructors review how well each student is progressing so we can be certain of how well they are learning, and sometimes create exercises to support understanding of the material.

This also creates the habit of continuing to always be working on yourself.


Post training we have  a few months of  optional zoom meetings- they are included in your training fee. The zoom meetings are times to debrief, discuss your sessions, review your understanding of the material and how you are progressing, and to support you in building your practice. They also will provide support in personal development. We also have guest speakers who may have other specialities in our field and so can share their own experiences and how they work. 


We also a focus on post training support for setting up your practice and developing and  integrating your skills and personal development that has begun throughout training. 


Six months post training we hold an optional supervised certification week where a combination of reviewing, exercises, induction writing and sessions with volunteers with supervision give more feedback culminating with teaching therapists how to create next steps plans with their clients.


Accommodations: most students chose to share a house together.  We reserve a few houses in advance and there is usually 2 or 3 students per house. Accommodations are next door or within walking distance to our training. Students have Individual bedrooms and shared kitchens and bathrooms. Each house has a private garden.

Past and Current Life Regression Training Module Two

Module 2  Regression  into Current and Past  Life memories, Metaphor and Active Imagination...


An objective observer can gain clarity and insights which can help create a reframe and shift  perspective which  releases the emotional charge/block linked to past happenings which can be carried energetically.


This method of working with regression as a hypno-therapeutic tool  creates an ability to change patterns or survival strategies which no longer serve and/or hold a client back and/or creates unnecessary suffering in their present day lives. This technique  may require a progressive unfolding as it takes the time it takes to rebuild a solid base.


Past Life Regression: the soul may or may not decide to carry experiences through the veil of birth along into the current lifetime; these experiences may also develop and create blocks/learning opportunities which manifest in the form of patterns, coping strategies and habits which may serve us in some moments, only to become obsolete later. Going back to the root cause of these phenomena a person has the opportunity to see and experience clearly, in a detached manner,  to develop  a clearer perspective.

As therapists we learn to help clients recognize themes from their childhood memories and current life experiences which can be echoed in from Past Live connections or even through Active Imagination.


*Some people may feel more comfortable with the idea of a Past Life Regression as Unconscious Metaphor brought forth by the Psyche in order to engender healing, whatever your system of belief, it is not a prerequisite to the experience of engendering healing and growth.


The course covers how to approach:  

Finding the themes to work with

  • The Agenda under the intention
  • Inducing a state of trance 
  • Active Imagination Exercises 
  • Regression to childhood
  • Memory or Dream re-entry
  • Regressing to the womb
  • Moving along the timeline
  • Entering the gateway of a past life 
  • Other techniques to connect with Past iives
  • Regressing to a Past Life 
  • Regressing to Dreams
  • Connecting to Spiritual States
  • Communicating and reviewing with higher self
  • Metaphorical travelling
  • Kything
  • Emergence from the trance state
  • Grounding and Protection
  • Next Steps and Integration


Post training there are optional zoom meetings with review  and debriefing of your sessions as well as guest speakers who share about their specialties in their practice.


There is also a focus on post training support for setting up your practice and developing and  integrating your skills and personal development that has begun throughout training. 


Six months post training we hold an optional supervised certification week where a combination of reviewing, exercises, induction writing and sessions with volunteers with supervision give more feedback culminating with teaching therapists how to create next steps plans with their clients.

Additional supervision weekends and review weeks upon request.

 We also review direct and indirect suggestions as well as review the healing interventions you have learned throughout your training and make sure you understand how to apply them. Often there are small exercises and practices we devise accordingly to your needs as a student.


You will be practicing sessions on volunteers and doing exchanges for personal development whilst under the supervision of the teaching staff, therefore you have an opportunity to receive feedback, insights, and strategies for aspects of a hypnotherapy session.  


Supervision Certification week is a week of review, revision, supervised session with support and feedback as well as induction writing and developing your own exclusive protocols and style. By the end of the week you can submit your required induction and will have also understood any areas you may want to pursue and develop as a specialty in your practice.

These opportunities provide the time and perspective to work with your case studies for certification, so the process becomes a learning experience rather than feeling a sense of judgment and criticism.


Groups of four to five therapists max.
