WHAT TO EXPECT
Prepare yourself to engage and participate in group discussions for 75 minutes, once a week for five weeks.
During this time, you will learn and incorporate a combination of Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural activities that will strengthen your ability to cope with changes, stress and … well… life overall!
Our facilitators, Lindsay & Stacey will teach you grounding techniques to create a deep state of relaxation and will dive deeper into your inner world in order to understand what is draining your energy and how you can begin to recharge. By emphasizing acceptance, kindness, and understanding toward yourself and others, Lindsay & Stacey will support you in developing greater self-awareness for your needs and in practicing self-love.
As a group, we will heal through the power of connection. By providing a private, confidential and safe virtual space, we will create a community of individuals who are seeking to come together to surround and support each other through our exploration of ourselves. With the support of your group and the facilitators, you will identify ways to transform current unhelpful habits into more loving and supportive ways of thinking. You will learn how to connect to your wiser self and welcome alignment and balance throughout your whole system. You will also learn ways to think compassionately of yourself and others and how to set boundaries to maintain your inner peace so that you may travel a new path toward your most liberated self.
This group will provide you with weekly recordings of the Hypnotherapy Scripts used in session and additional resources so that you may practice what you learned, outside of your sessions.
Some of the most common topics discussed during this group workshop include:
- Acceptance and Compassion for Self and Others
- Anxiety, Fears and Panic

HERE’S WHAT WE WILL COVER OVER 5 WEEKS
Week 1 – Introducing the Course
We will begin our first class with a discussion about your initial interest in hypnotherapy. During our first class, we will dive deeper into your inner world to question what it is that drains your energy and how you are currently recharging. We will connect with others to share in a therapeutic space. We will practice hypnotherapy by integrating a 40-minute grounding exercise that is based in nature imagery and metaphors in order to create a deep state of relaxation.
Week 2 – Transforming our Habits
We will begin our second class with a discussion about common thinking patterns and ways to transform current habits to more helpful ways of thinking. Together we will transform the anxious energy of a worrier to the energy and loving presence of a warrior. We will practice hypnotherapy by integrating a 40-minute exercise that will focus on building a mind-body connection. This activity will include a combination of breathing exercises and nature based imagery in order to support your creative consciousness in discovering new and unique strategies to improve your energy.
Week 3 – Identifying our Boundaries
We will begin our third class with a discussion on boundaries as a foundational tool for re-charging and re-energizing our minds and bodies.

We will reflect on how we have re-charged and re-energized, as well as how we will incorporate what we have learned into our daily practice in order to live an invigorating life.
