An Erotic Hypnosis Intensive Weekend

Erotic hypnosis is a marvelous engine for intimacy and erotic imagineering. Hypnotic trance state is a delicious altered state all by itself, but when we stir in suggestion and storytelling we uncover an internal universe that seems limitless. This class will serve as a guide through the first steps in your erotic hypnosis journey and will cover the myriad consent issues, safety, hypnotic induction and will begin to cover applications of hypnosis to our erotic lives.  

We have crafted these classes to be a blend of theory and practice. There will be a small bit of group work, but mostly the practical exercises will be paired.  Optimally, you'll bring a partner to this event.  If not, we will do our best to make sure everybody is paired with someone. Come prepared to take a little trip into a trance-y headspace.

This weekend is structured this way:

Saturday, November 29th from 11 AM to 6 PM, will be the Introduction to Erotic Hypnosis intensive.  The Saturday playshop will cover the following:

• Basic Hypnosis Terms and Concepts
• Consent and Negotiation
• Safety
• Subject Agency
• Basics of Rapport
• Scene Structure
• Trance (and Other) Inductions
• Hypnotic Suggestion (including post-hypnotic suggestion)
• and much more

This playshop includes a 1 hour break, midway through the day.  You may buy tickets to this playshop either by themselves or as part of the weekend package.

Saturday Night, November 29, 2025 from 8 PM to 11 PM we're going to be having a sort of Hypnosis Play Party. Other kinds of quiet play will be permissable, but the focus will be on recreational/erotic hypnosis. Daniel will be on hand to answer more questions or even do some light coaching.   This party is only available to folks purchasing the full weekend package (it's included in the price of the package).

Sunday, November 30, 2025 from 11 AM to 6 PM there will be three other hypnosis playshops on offer.  Timing will be somewhat flexible between them, but, like the Saturday playshop, there will be a one-hour lunch break halfway through.

Here's what we'll be covering:  

Brainstorm: Hypnotic Mantras 

Hypnotic Mantras are powerful tools used to create and maintain compelling headspaces, long and short term change, and even hypnotic induction. They’re useful in self-hypnosis, partnered hypnosis, and group hypnosis. They can be used with or without trance. This playshop includes SOME lecture, but the focus will be on gathering some of the hypnotic goals of the attendees and then fashioning those, using what we've learned, into effective hypnotic mantras.
Brainstorm: Hypnotic Storytelling

Hypnotic Storytelling is a foundation of hypnosis. We use stories for long-term changework (“brainwashing”) and for short-term entertainment. They can be used with or without formal trance inductions. This one will require a bit more technical background so the lecture will be a bit longer, but the focus will be on gathering some of the hypnotic goals of the attendees and then fashioning those, using what we've learned, into sort of scaffolding from which to improvise effective hypnotic storytelling.

Hypnosis And Massage

If we know anything, we know hypnosis is already a wonderful exploration of the mind/body connection. When we blend erotic massage and erotic hypnosis, we can go places we otherwise barely can conceive of. It’s an absolutely natural combination.

This playshop is both a lecture and a demonstration. Daniel and his partner demonstrate how massage and hypnosis work together while simultaneously discussing the technical aspects of what they demonstrate. There is nudity in this playshop. And folks routinely find themselves experiencing hypnotic phenomena while they watch from the sidelines. It’s okay. Being in trance is one of the best ways to learn hypnosis.

You may buy tickets to this series of shorter playshops either by themselves or as part of the weekend package. If you're buying tickets for Sunday, you're buying tickets for the whole Sunday Series.
