Creative Mind with Dr. Stephen Gilligan
Join Dr. Stephen Gilligan, a direct student of Dr. Milton H. Erickson and a member of the original group of NLP developers, for an extraordinary online workshop hosted by the NLPAA. Over the past 50 years, Dr. Gilligan has advanced Erickson's foundational work, creating Generative Trance and, more recently, the transformative approach he calls Creative Mind.
This workshop explores the heart of creativity, well-being, and transformation: interconnection. In a world increasingly marked by disconnection, Dr. Gilligan’s work focuses on using Generative Trance to:
- Let Go – Release conscious mind constraints and enter a deeper state of unity and awareness.
- Create and Integrate – Transform challenges into resources and build a creative matrix for personal and collective growth.
Dr. Gilligan will share natural methods to move beyond stress, access deep creativity, and experience your greater self. This work not only enhances your own life but also empowers you to create positive change in others, reconnecting human and planetary consciousness at a time when it’s urgently needed.
This workshop promises practical applications and profound insights into using trance for healing, creativity, and transformation. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a master in the field of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis.
