Group Hypnosis Experience

Coming Home to Center: A Community Hypnosis Circle for Grounded Intuition + Embodied Calm

Slow down, tune in, and remember the wisdom that lives within you.

Join us for a gentle, trauma-informed group hypnosis experience to reconnect with your inner knowing, regulate your nervous system, and come home to yourself.

What the experience will look like:

We’ll begin by settling in with tea and creating a cozy, supportive space. After a gentle grounding practice, there will be space for introductions and optional intention-sharing.

From there, you’ll be guided through a group hypnosis session that includes calming breathwork, visualization, therapeutic suggestions, and subconscious reprogramming… all within a trauma-informed, choice-based container.

Each person will have their own unique inner experience. Afterward, you’ll have time to reflect, journal, and, if you choose, share insights or connect within the circle before we close.

What if the answers you seek… already live within you?

In this gentle, trauma-informed circle, we’ll soften the noise, settle the body, and reconnect with the truth that lives inside you.

What’s included…

  • A safe, welcoming space + nourishing tea

  • Gentle nervous system support + overall relaxation

  • Guided group hypnosis that integrates space for customized subconscious reprogramming

  • Time for reflection + integration

  • Optional sharing + community connection

This is for you if…

  • You’ve been feeling scattered or disconnected

  • You’re craving calm, clarity, or inner steadiness

  • You’re curious about hypnosis (no experience needed)

  • You want to feel more at home in yourself

What to bring…

  • A yoga mat and blanket so you can lie down, get cozy, and settle in

  • A journal/notebook + something to write with

  • Optional eye pillow/eye mask

Come as you are and leave feeling relaxed, centered, and connected to likeminded folks in your community.

This event is not suitable for folks who experience schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, hallucinations/delusions, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, dementia, severe depression and possibly more. If you are not sure if clinical hypnosis is right for you, please consult your doctor.
