This month's program:

NLP in Action ....                    
Language and Experience
​Monday
July 2nd , 2018
7:30PM

One of the notions of General Semantics is that we don't experience the world directly.  Korzybski tells us that we create "maps" or representative descriptions of the world. As some maps are richer, fuller, and more complete than others ... so are some experiences.  It's interesting to consider that the quality of our life, moment by moment, is determined by the specific qualities of our descriptions

Are you happy, sad, motivated, enthused, bored, vibrant, or only half alive? 

In this evening workshop we will explore the mysteries of internal language and map creation and how your choice of words can change your world and influence others.

THIS MONTH'S ONLINE MEETING
Tuesday, July 10th

Educating Hypnotists in the Digital Age

hosted by Michael Watson and Karen Hand-Harper
with guests Richard Nongard and Jason Linett

This month, the topic turns to hypnosis education - For the general public as well as for professional certification and continuing education of hypnotists.  The internet has opened up access to more information for us than at any time previously in human history. Some of that information is FABulous, and some of it is misleading .... some of it is supported more by hard science and some more by anecdote amd subjective expereince.  We'll talk about all that's out there ... and offer our thoughts about how to make the best use of the online resources.

Richard Nongard is the new owner of HPTI - the Hypnosis Practitioner Training Institute.  HPTI has been offering a year long program combining online and live modules. We are excited to hear about how his new leadership will influence the future of the Institute, and to hear his thoughts about online training.

Jason Linett IS a well known hypnosis instructor and a marketing specialist who has contributed greatly to the wider community through his WorkSmart Hypnosis Podcast .... he's created hundreds of episodes with great value to his listeners.  Some of the episodes are Jason's teaching while others are interviews with the entire "Who's Who" of hypnosis.

Michael Watson and Karen Hand-Harper are our online hosts. Experienced presenters and trainers, they've both been instrumental in bringing hypnosis to the public via online seminars and workshops, they are the creators of the Virtual Chapter ... and together they are currently halfway through an IACT approved hypnotherapy certification course ... partly in-person live and partly via interactive online classrooms.
