Mindful Mindlessness: Balancing Improv and Planning in Long-Term Play
2026-01-16 , Coastal West (hybrid)

With a little bit of planning and a spirit of adventure, long-term play can be a chance to build and strengthen skills for both the hypnotist and subject. Whether you’re looking to learn to forget or eager to figure out how to get someone into trance with a glance, long-term play isn’t just hot—it’s your chance to build your hypno-toybox.

In this class, we’ll discuss how to balance goal-setting and improvisation in long-term play, focusing on giving and receiving critical feedback, communicating mutual interests and intentions, and experimenting with things like metaphor, context, and approach.
