What is Generative Trance?

Albert Einstein once said that we cannot solve problems at the same level from which they were created. This workshop will explore how to develop generative trance as a higher state of consciousness that can be used to transform problem states, achieve important goals, and discover new levels of consciousness. It is based on the premise that the quality of your experience and responses to challenges are a direct function of the quality of your mind-body state, and that you can learn to significantly improve this state, especially under stressful conditions.

Thus, one part of Generative Trance and Transformation will focus on multiple creative ways to develop a generative trance state, and the second part will focus on how to do exceptional work (and play!) in this state. You will leave with an increased capacity for happiness, health, helping others, and healing your self and the world.

Some specific material to be covered includes:
– Integration of Milton Erickson’s hypnosis techniques with Dr. Gilligan’s Generative Self model
– How to set clear, positive, succinct, and resonant intentions;
– How to settle down and settle in to a connection with your creative unconscious;
– How to develop generative trance via skills of increased relaxation, concentration, expanded awareness, and capacity to utilize whatever is there;
– How to bring the problem/goal into the generative trance, add other resources, express in multiple forms, and integrate into generative new patterns;
– How to ensure the new patterns are integrated into real life situations;
– Replacing negative hypnotic trances (traumas, addictions, disordered mood) with generative trances;

Generative Trance and Transformation is very practical, theoretically clear, and deeply experiential. Dr. Gilligan was a close student of Milton Erickson, but has been teaching this work in Ericksonian hypnosis, Generative Trance, and Self-Relations for over 30 years. He is magical in his capacity to help students create amazing new realities.

About Author

Stephen Gilligan

He was one of the original NLP students at UC Santa Cruz; Milton Erickson and Gregory Bateson were his mentors. After receiving his psychology doctorate from Stanford University, he became one of the premier teachers and practitioners of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. This work unfolded into his original approaches of Self-Relations and Generative Self, and then further (in collaboration with Robert Dilts) into Generative Coaching. These different traditions have all been updated and integrated into the present Generative Change Work, which includes the applications of Generative Coaching, Generative Psychotherapy, Generative Trance, Hero’s Journey, and Systemic Change work.

He has taught in many different cultures and countries over the past 30 years, and has published extensively. His numerous books include The Hero’s Journey: A Voyage of Self Discovery (co-authored with Robert Dilts), the classic Therapeutic Trances, The Courage to Love, The legacy of Erickson, Walking in Two Worlds (with D. Simon), and Generative Trance: The Experience of Creative Flow. His forthcoming book is Generative Coaching (co-authored with Robert Dilts).
