"Trance Camp 2013"
A Summer Intensive in Generative Trance Work
Rancho Bernardo Inn
San Diego, CA
Trance camp is an experiential workshop for those interested in exploring trance and its relevance to creativity and change. Trance is seen primarily as a naturalistic learning state that occurs from within, not an artificial state created or controlled by an outside "hypnotist". Trance camp teaches skills for cultivating these higher states of consciousness for purposes of improved health, happiness, healing, and helpfulness to others. Trance Camp is open to those seriously interested in generative personal change and creative consciousness. It is not a workshop for receiving personal therapy or learning to do therapy with others; it is an experiential community for learning how to experience and utilize generative states of consciousness. It sees each trance as an experiment in consciousness, and shows how trance skills can allow those experiments to lead to many new patterns. The goal is to learn how to create a Generative Self capable of transforming one's life in many powerful ways.
The Experience of Trance Camp has many dimensions. The course usually runs from 9 - 6 pm each day. Each day is filled with Dr. Gilligan's talks, group trances, Dr. Gilligan's work with volunteer clients, generative trance exercises with partners, and group discussions. The trances start out simple and short, and progressively deepen and extend into core pieces of transformational work. A group of experienced assistants is there to help as needed, and we all work to ensure that the group space is safe, intimate, and lots of fun. In addition to the main course, there are optional early morning yoga classes and optional evening events.
Trance camp was aptly named by previous participants who felt the training to be a like an amazing and timeless "summer camp" where people from many different cultures and backgrounds gather to enjoy a safe and intensive transformational community experience. Participants report profound and meaningful changes that extend far into the future. We hope to see you there!
This year's Trance Camp is devoted to the theme of Generative Trance as a higher state of consciousness in which a person is connected equally to creative versions of both the conscious and unconscious minds. You will discover how each mind can be organized in many different ways—some helpful and some not—and how you can shift each mind to its highest level. The ensuing conversation between them creates a generative trance in which positive futures, transformation, and healing can occur. The course will give you an understanding and practical skill set to do this powerfully and effectively in your personal and professional lives.
