Course Description:

Learn to use trance and hypnosis in ways that are delightful and fun. Welcome to a hands-on course in Rapid Improvisational Recreational Hypnosis
instilling ways to improvise new techniques off the cuff in creative
and extremely effective ways to use hypnosis for light entertainment,
fun, and recreation . . . but with an understanding of applying
powerful changework where appropriate within the same creative
framework. This is a practical course in rapid improvisational
recreational hypnosis techniques with a hands-on approach to mastering
the skills presented. This course is appropriate for anyone with an
interest in hypnosis – from the curious hobbyist to the professional.
The methods presented can be adapted and applied in a very wide range
of contexts: street, entertainment, sales, recreational fun, education,
presentational speaking, and intimate or romantic relationships.

Welcome to the Walkabout Trance . . . welcome to an incredible weekend . . . this program in Rapid Improvisational Recreational Hypnosis
is based upon a foundation in one of the most comprehensive and
intensive seminars in Speed Hypnosis: Instant and Rapid Hypnosis
Techniques (Anyplace, Anytime, Anytrance) you can find. In this
seminar, you will learn the real secrets of the truly fast, faster,
fastest hypnosis inductions with a creative twist that allows
participants to begin improving effective new hypnotic inductions on
the fly at the get-go. The hand may be quicker than the eye, but in
this course, you will learn how deep trance can be attained quicker
than the hand, the eye, or the suggestion of hypnosis itself.

You
will learn how to apply these techniques to any location, any context,
and trance opportunity. You will learn the techniques as well as the
operators behind them that allow you to adapt to any situation and even
create new processes or techniques on-the-fly appropriate to the
situation. These are the hypnosis methods that have been proven
effective in walkabout trance street hypnosis, clinical hypnotherapy,
entertainment hypnosis shows, club trance, educational contexts, and
much much more.

Experienced and inexperienced hypnotists will
find this course filled with powerful material that will take you to
the next level of hypnotic skills and competence.

Since we will
be holding this rare event at a beautiful beach resort, a special
component of this unique course is that we will be practicing both in
the classroom with one another and out on the boardwalk and in the
clubs or restaurants with real live members of the public as our trance
partners (consenting members of the public, of course). In addition to
the inductions themselves, you will learn walkabout trance techniques
such as Walkup Approaches and Openers and how to maximize expectation
and to engage and intensify a prospective trance partner’s imaginative
involvement in order to ensure the success of your trance patter. You
will learn and practice patterns and processes that are light and
playful which can then easily be converted into full-on hypnotic
phenomena. You will learn how to take something simple like a
suggestibility test and turn it into deep hypnosis in very little time.
You will learn how to take any context and use it to create completely
original inductions out of whole cloth, improvisational trance
creation, instantly. These walkabout/street techniques can then be used
very effectively in the clinic with your hypnotherapy clients or in the
club or elsewhere for simple trance fun, or on stage as part of a
hypnotic demonstration or all-out entertaining performance.

What will you learn in this seminar?

We
start at the beginning with the fundamentals . . . participants will
learn the Characteristics and Parts of Instant and Rapid Hypnosis
Inductions, the real secrets that allow you to use any induction in a
rapid or instant context. You will learn, practice, and master over
thirty speed hypnosis techniques.

Those who have taken hypnosis
trainings before as well as those who have attended the previous
Walkabout Trance event will find an excellent fast-paced review but
they will also find we jump into the creative, improvisational,
material right away, while providing a solid foundation for those who
haven't had the pleasure of the experience before.

Both
newcomer and returning veteran alike will find the course to be well
within their comfort zones and pushing them into new territory very
quickly in creative and playful ways.

Obviously, a program such
as the Walkabout Trance Beach Resort Getaway course in Rapid
Improvisational Recreational Hypnosis is extremely adaptable. The key
goal is to get folks up to speed and comfortable within the creative
hypnosis mindset so that participants will be improvising new processes
and inductions as quickly as possible. The program is set as a modular
building block approach so that material can be shifted and built upon
as needed. All of the key basic components of the course orientation,
philosophy, and technique will be covered in some way, although the
specific order of presentation and coverage will vary depending upon
specific participation. The modus operandi is to build upon solid
foundations toward an endgame of playing with creative approaches.

Participants
are strongly encouraged to leave any preconceptions regarding what
hypnosis is or isn't or how it should or should not be performed at the
door. Approach the activities in Redondo Beach as one would approach an
adventure as a curious and playful child to truly enjoy and quickly
master an initiation into a special world of wonder and creative joyful
exploration and competence. Pretend that anything and everything is new
to you and that every activity is a special experiment in manifesting
new ideas . . . take on the concepts and play with them as if they deep
joyful truths . . . after the weekend, you can then debrief and decide
which particular techniques work best for you and your style but at the
beginning jump in and playfully enjoy and experiment with everything
and more.

Those who complete this course and meet all other eligibility requirements are qualified to take the examination for a Specialization Certificate in Speed Hypnosis from the Society of Experiential Trance.

Instructor:

The course is taught by Rev. Dr. Brian David Phillips, an internationally
known and respected hypnosis practitioner, educator, author, and
entertainer. Dr. Phillips is President of the Society of Experiential Trance, is the editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Experiential Trance and was the founding editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Hypnotic Arts and Sciences.
Dr. Phillips is the coordinator and chief instructor for the oldest
English-language hypnosis and focused-trance practice group in Taiwan
and is the owner and moderator of one of the largest online email
discussion communities related to hypnosis and focused trance
techniques. He has taught numerous workshops and seminars on hypnosis,
focused trance, and experiential hypnosis as well as a number of
webinars (web-based seminars) on these and related subjects. Dr.
Phillips is an associate professor at National Chengchi University. Dr.
Phillips uses rapid and instant hypnosis inductions routinely in his Waking Dreams Hypnosis Show, the only ongoing entertainment comedy hypnosis stage show in Taiwan.

Teaching Methods:

This course relies upon a very fast-paced system of demonstration and
practice. More than any other course, this seminar consists of
demonstration, explanation, practice, practice, practice. It is NOT
intended as a lecture or passive learning experience. It is a very
fast-paced and energetic program so students should come ready,
willing, able, and eager to jump right in and run full speed ahead. The
teaching methodology is very active. Students will learn through all of
their sensory learning channels, particularly aural, visual, and
kinesthetic . . . listening, seeing, and doing . . . as it is a
practical applications competence course, there is a great deal of
supervised "doing" with immediate and useful feedback. Typically, for
each subject or technique, the training is within the following process
model: 1. instructor briefs students on the topic, 2. instructor
demonstrates technique with student volunteer, 3. the demonstration is
then broken down into steps, 4. students then practice the technique
several times with one another under guidance of the instructor with
ongoing feedback, 5. class debriefs about experience and technique with
performance notes from instructor, 6. students continue advanced
practice (including homework for some techniques), 7. final debriefing
with instructor.

The course focuses upon competence and
application of material. Taking advantage of the environment and foot
traffic in and around the beautiful beach resort which acts as the
venue for this getaway training, we will incorporate formal and
informal walkabout trance style practice sessions in which students
will be grouped into “teams” and asked to go out and just do it by
politely approaching members of the public and inviting them to act as
consenting trance partners to experience the wonderful blissful state
of hypnosis.

Course Materials:

Students will receive the updated edition of the course manual, Speed Hypnosis: Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Inductions (Secrets of Fast, Faster, Fastest Hypnotic Techniques)
by Brian David Phillips, detailing over fifty instant and rapid
hypnosis inductions and techniques as well as a number of creative
techniques and approaches to improvisational or impromptu hypnosis.

Please,
students may not use recording devices during the course. However, the
instructor may record portions of the training. Participation in this
seminar implies consent to be recorded on video, audio, and photograph.

What Others Say:

Here are some comments from past students and participants in events by Brian David Phillips . . .

"Brian,
you are one of the most well known and most highly respected hypnotists
in the world, and I was thrilled to be at your recent Walkabout Trance
workshop. It was great fun, but more than that it was enlightening for
me and the others that attended. Taking it to the streets was a
challenge for me, I have to admit. But putting it in practice gave me
an additional skill that really makes hypnosis more interesting. I
created a Hawaii Retreat in April and while I was there with my members
having dinner, I hypnotized the waiter using your techniques and he had
a straw stuck in his hands and the entire place was amazed.
"You are
a solid instructor and a great pleasure to learn from. It is true, you
can teach this old dog some new tricks… and I thank you for that."

Wendi Friesen
www.wendi.com

"When
I first got to Taiwan in 2004, I was lucky enough to attend Brian’s
monthly meetings and hypnosis teachings. Although I was already trained
in hypnosis in my psychology program and through NLP and through
membership in ASCH, I found Brian to be the most versatile and
knowledgeable teacher of hypnosis I had ever met. He knows all the
literature and is generous with his knowledge. He knows all the theory
and yet he can apply it in the street or on the stage. Although I am
particularly impressed with his skills of Rapid Induction, he can
pretty much use any technique at any time with any person in any
situation. I find him amazing, a real treasure, and am one ole dog
happy to learn new tricks from a down to earth master who is ethical
and very, very good with all kinds of people. I can highly recommend
Brian to you without reservation."

Dr. Joseph Vidmar
Past-President, Louisiana Psychological Association
www.astronlp.com

"Wow
what an experience! Brian was a great teacher and a lot of fun. He
brings a truly great academic mind to the table, then teaches with all
the fun and vitality of the great stage hypnotist he truly is. His
playful style engenders confidence and he cajoles the best out of each
participant He is caring, supportive and keen to see that each student
"gets it" in a way that can be immediately put it to practical use. I
particularly enjoyed the trance games that assured that we practiced
and observed with new partners several times in each exercise. The walk
about trance experience was really a lot of fun and generated a
wonderful camaraderie. A worthwhile learning experience and a perfect
hypnotist's mini-vacation… Kudos to Brian …. Brian.. I'll see you on
the next American tour …. for sure."

Dr. Hugh Cole
Texas Tranceman

"I
have been in the "professional" side of hypnosis since around 1987, and
in that time, going to conventions and reading posts on the internet..
I kept coming across this guy from Taipei, Taiwan. Brian David
Phillips. His posts were always very insightful.. his advice was to the
point.. and he seemed like the kind of teacher that really cared about
his students actually "GETTING IT".
When I finally had the wonderful
opportunity to meet him at a seminar he was teaching… I realized that
he is WAY WAY more than he lets on in his postings. Here is a man who
can teach basic hypnosis in the morning and shift right into Advanced
techniques in the same module. Not just teaching them, but presenting
them in such a way that even beginners can grasp the concepts and learn
the skills. His wit is sharp and while you are busy laughing at his
comments, his teachings slip right into your unconscious now and you
learn at the deepest levels of your mind.
Well versed in Stage
Presentation, Instant Inductions, hypnotic history and usage in
"mystical" cultures, as well as the leading edge medical uses for
hypnosis, this is a guy that you want to hang around and learn all the
little nuance's that he imparts to his classes. It is obvious from the
first moment you meet him that he is one of the teachers who really
gets it. I am looking forward to his next seminar.. and the chance to
share some time with him."

Richard Rumble
"Mister Hypnosis", Comedy Hypnosis Shows

"Brian David Phillips is an outstanding instructor. His knowledge of
hypnosis theory and practice makes any training with him extremely
valuable. Brian’s teaching style is fun and playful, and encourages
students to participate and learn by doing. If you want to learn
instant and rapid hypnotic inductions and how to perform them safely, I
recommend Brian David Phillips as an excellent instructor.
Brian, I
have a lot respect for you as an educator and as a hypnotist. You
always share what you know freely and this is something that I also
respect and I am thankful for all you have shared with me."

Sean Michael Andrews
"The World's Fastest Hypnotist"
www.worldsfastesthypnotist.com

"Brian
is a GIFTED master of hypnosis. He makes everything appear so easy and
effortless that you know you are learning from a master. His classes
are not only filled with learning but also with kindness, and fun. What
a wonderful way to spend your time. If you are looking for a class or
workshop to hone your skills, make the decision to learn from Brian
David Phillips. Awesome skills, awesome fun and a person full of
integrity, which is hard to find! Don't miss an opportunity to study
with him."

Seth-Deborah Roth, CRNA, CCHt, CI
www.hypnotherapyforhealth.com

"I
attended Brian David Phillips's Experiential Walkabout Trance event not
too long ago, and I've got nothing but positive things to say about it.
Brian covered a vast amount of really useful material in a small period
of time. The workshop gave lots of opportunities to not only learn the
material, but practice it as well. All the risk taking opportunities
given really helped me to get over inhibitions regarding spontaneously
offering hypnosis experiences to both strangers and colleagues. I'd do
it again in a heartbeat. If you really want to be at the top of your
game as a hypnotherapist of stage performer, I highly recommend this
work."

Sylvia Brallier

"Hi
Folks, I just got home from Brian David Phillip's Walkabout Trance for
Speedy Inductions and I'd like to say a few words about Dr. Phillips
and his workshop.
"I really didn't know what to expect. From reading
his posts, my sense of his personality was that he was incredibly
intelligent, energetic, and had a copious knowledge of hypnosis,
hypnotherapy and it's attending arts….
"I … decided to keep an open mind about him and his teaching methods when I signed up for the Walkabout.
"Well,
my stars (who says that in the 21st Century?). Besides the fact that he
teased me mercilessly (I think we are at a count of 47 zingers in one
day), I thought he was delightful, generous, and funny. Dr. Brian David
Phillips funny? Oh, yes. Very. He has outstanding comedic timing. And
the thing that was most surprising? Incredibly loving. The big
teddy-bear of a man is just a gooey marshmallow of love. Who knew?
"And
I loved, just loved, every second of his workshop. It ended way, way,
way too quickly. A case of time distortion at it's finest. I met
incredibly wonderful people (as is always true at a hypnosis
convention) …. Everything was perfectly executed. You know that it's a
great workshop when you have a bunch of stage hypnotists there, and
Wendi herself. That tells you something.
"I was so pleased with this workshop I wish I could do it again next weekend, now that I know what to expect from Dr. BDP."

Stephanie Rothman, C.Ht., EFT, NLP
www.lets-talk.com

"Brian's
class was very engaging and involved a hands on approach which allowed
all the participants to learn through creative exploration. He made
learning fun and provided a safe and nurturing environment for
practice. The techniques taught by him were useful and readily
applicable, be it in the field of entertainment or changework. I have
personally benefited greatly from his counsel.
"If you are curious
about the incredible power of the mind and like to expand your comfort
zone, I'd highly recommend you get in touch with Brian."

Ujjwal Dharmaraj

"I
attended one of Brian's trainings in February, and have been a
long-time reader of his blog. As an experienced hypnotist, I can attest
that he is exceptionally competent and sets the bar by which others are
measured. He is well-versed in both hypnotic theory and practical
application, and gives professional and exciting demonstrations of the
skills needed to become a hypnotist. Brian's creativity also shines
through in his work – one of the most challenging parts of his training
was being given the task of creating new techniques on-the-fly. You
don't get out of his class without proving that you can do it. I highly
recommend his training to anyone who is serious about learning
hypnosis, and I am eager to see what Brian creates in the future."

Taylor Sherman

"Thank you for the marvelous course. I enjoyed the five evenings
together with you. I will definitely be there if you open another
course."

"I
just want to say thank you for a arranging such a wonderful class with
many resources and demonstration. It was one probably the most
enjoyable training I have ever attended.
"Again, thank you for a wonderful training, especially, it is so unique and made me start to think in different ways."
