About the event
This experiential workshop introduces the powerful use of guided imagery and hypnosis as gentle, evidence-informed tools for reducing stress and anxiety. Through a combination of guided relaxation, focused imagery, and light hypnotic techniques, participants will learn how to calm the nervous system, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and access a deeper sense of inner safety and resilience. You will leave with practical tools you can use at home to regulate anxiety, improve sleep, and reconnect with a more grounded, centered state of being. No prior experience with meditation or hypnosis is needed—just a willingness to relax and explore.
