What People Are Saying:
“I have been experiencing visions in my dreams and waking life for as long as I can remember but have never pursued learning about it. This class answered many questions I always had and provided structure and tools for me to explore this other world that I have been testing the waters in for so long. Thanks so much, and I can’t wait to take the next class!” – Dominic D.
“I took this training because it was a prerequisite for Depth Hypnosis. Upon completing this workshop, the first word that came to mind is “stunned” at how very much I learned about myself. It was a fantastic experience and I am thankful it was a prerequisite.” – Margarida R.
