3-Hour In-Person Practicum Workshop
Presented By: Laura DeWitt, CCHt

Join HMI Instructor, Laura DeWitt, in this hands-on Practicum Workshop. This practicum workshop will feature a demonstration and practice of what to say in hypnosis after the arm raising for every new client. Laura will guide you through a brand-new hypnotic script created by George Kappas titled: “Creating the Fertile Ground.”

This hypnosis journey is designed for the first session to suit every single client, regardless of their presenting issue. You will be provided a hard copy to practice with other students. Laura DeWitt and Associated Instructors will circulate the room during practice, to observe, give feedback, and answer questions. In addition, there will be time for questions and discussions during this practicum.

HMI Campus Tour

The HMI Campus is not just a campus, it is really a walking tour museum of 56 years of HMI and the Kappas Family History. Every inch of the HMI campus was designed by George Kappas and the halls are filled with pictures, history, and memorabilia. In addition, the HMI Studios will be up and running, as our normal Live on Zoom classes are being streamed live with instructors in the HMI Zoom Rooms.

Lunch

Just when you thought it couldn’t be more fun, you’ll have the opportunity to dine with 49 other students and graduates from around the country. All together for a sit-down lunch in the HMI Banquet Room. And surprise… you never know what HMI Instructors might be dropping by for a little face-to-face meet and greet and photo opportunity.

Photo Ops

In addition to the photo ops with the HMI Instructors on-campus that day, the campus is filled with life sized cut-outs of the HMI instruction staff throughout the campus. You will have designated time to take your selfie with your favorite instructors, including Dr. Kappas himself!
