Being a hypnotist can feel more than a little overwhelming sometimes, especially if you feel you don't fit into the stereotype of a hypnotist. Join us for a discussion on ways you can define your own style and become more confident as a hypnotist (with a heavy dose of what worked for us!).
Daja has been involved in the hypnokink community in multiple capacities for the last 13 years. She has taught at multiple erotic hypnosis conventions across the country and edited the educational resource book Mind Play (2017 and 2021 editions) by Wiseguy. She was also on the convention committee for the Chicago-area hypnokink con from 2014 through the end of the 2018 convention and has co-organized the Pittsburgh hypnokink group PHARMA since she moved to Pittsburgh in 2017.
Tennfan (he/him, cis, grey-ace/demi) likes hypnosis. A lot. A lifelong hypnosis geek, he enjoys life on both sides of the pocketwatch, though he leans a little more to the subject side these days. He loves helping folks who are new to hypnosis and hypnokink learn what works for them, and is an enthusiastic practice subject. He co-organizes the Baltimore Hypnosis Skillshare and has taught classes and led events at Charmed, Beguiled (and its many predecessor cons) and NEEHU since 2015. He makes hypnosis recordings now and then, which can be found at soundcloud.com/Tennfan as well as on YouTube and his tumblr: tennfan2.tumblr.com. He is, as of this writing, also still on Twitter: @TennfanHypno.
