1. Attention, Intention, and Discernment

The three skills underneath every hypnotic change. What you pay attention to shapes what your mind treats as real, a clear intention gives your subconscious direction, and discernment is knowing what’s actually true instead of just familiar or loud.

2. States Precede Shift

Why nothing changes until your state changes first. How to recognize the state you’re in right now, and simple ways to shift it on purpose before you try to change anything else.

3. Self-Hypnosis and the Alpha Sequence

Your first real self-hypnosis practice, one you can use for the rest of your life. How to guide yourself into trance safely, without needing anyone else in the room, and what to do once you’re there.

4. The 8 Doorways to Change

The different channels your mind actually uses to experience change: working with the body, not just the mind, using imagination and metaphor to speak directly to the subconscious, shifting perspective to see what you couldn’t see before, and choosing words that land instead of just sounding good.

5. Hypnotic Language and Embodied Language

Learning to talk to your own subconscious mind, and to let your body talk back. The difference between saying something and actually landing it, using breath and posture as part of the suggestion, not just the words.

6. Imagery, Rehearsal, and Inner Practice

Making a state stick, instead of losing it the moment you open your eyes. Mental rehearsal, building an inner practice you’ll actually keep doing, and choosing your next step.

Thursday, September 17, 2026: Habits and Nervous System Regulation

Using hypnosis to work with your own patterns instead of against them, and bringing your body out of emergency mode on purpose.

Thursday, October 15, 2026: Confidence and Creativity

Working with the story you tell yourself about who you are, and using trance to access ideas you can’t force awake.

Thursday, November 19, 2026: Sleep and Your Next Path

A real practice for the hardest thing to hypnotize yourself for, plus deciding what’s next: keep going with the monthly practice, or apply your tuition toward certification.

Is this fully online, or is any part of it in person?

Fully online. The live day and all 3 monthly practice calls happen over Zoom, so you can join from anywhere, no travel required.

What do I need to join?

A computer, tablet, or phone with a stable internet connection, and a quiet, private space where you can close your eyes and relax without interruption. A camera and microphone help since parts of the day are interactive group practice, not just watching.

What if I can’t make the live day?

The live immersion day includes full recording access, so if something comes up, you won’t lose the content. That said, the practice exercises land differently live, so we’d encourage you to clear your calendar for August 22 if you can.

Who’s actually teaching this?

Erika Flint, MA+CPHI, founder of Cascade Hypnosis Center, personally. This isn’t outsourced to an assistant instructor or a pre-recorded course, it’s Erika live, teaching from her own framework.

Is this the same as becoming a certified hypnotist?

No. This is a personal-skills class, not professional certification, and it doesn’t cover client intake, ethics, or business practice. If you later decide you want to work with paying clients, your Skills Lab tuition credits 100% toward Professional Certification if you enroll within 12 months.

How much time does this actually take?

One 7-hour live day on Saturday, August 22, 2026, plus 3 monthly group calls after, Thursdays 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST on September 17, October 15, and November 19. That’s the whole commitment.
