Event
Erotic Hypnosis Intensive at Voodoo Leatherworks in Colorado Springs
Join us for Colorado Springs' first erotic hypnosis seminar! This six-hour class, taught by Dr. Headcrash and panavatar from San Francisco, is suitable for any experience level (see description below). Following the seminar is the Voodoo Leatherworks "tastings" party, which will feature a hypnosis station.
Below are details on the event. Note that tickets are $50 at the door, if not ordered in advance! Earlybird ticket sales end July 23.
Speaking With the Body: Kinesthetic Hypnosis & Nonverbal Suggestion
Suggestion is much more than words. Learn how to use touch, gesture, and the power of context to create powerful suggestion effects, connection and rapport with a touch or a look, or with the aide of rope, a blindfold or a knife.
Kinesthetic hypnosis (using touch to create trance and impart suggestion) can be very powerful & hot, and its likely something you've already experienced to some extent--if you've ever had great sex, an excellent couples dance, or ever given or received an amazing massage. Like all hypnosis, its about connection, rapport, and communication.
Come learn some simple kinesthetic hypnotic exercises, for both subjects and 'tists, and watch (or participate in!) some demos of what we can do with touch-based suggestion. Skills learned in this class can be added to your mental toybag for almost any other form of play, particularly useful in noisy or public places, or with those with sensory impairments, where words would not suffice.
Topics to be covered include:
Negotiating for what you mutually want
Establishing rapport and trust through touch
Exercises for developing your kinesthetic (touch) sensitivity for both subjects and hypnotists
The magic of catalepsy -- touch based communication that bypasses the conscious mind
Playing with poseability and automation
Long-term post-hypnotic suggestion & touch-based anchoring
Sensory deprivation play
Using rope & props
Sensation as suggestion or induction
Exercises specifically for subjects to enhance body awareness and physical responsiveness to touch
Hypnosis as a tool for physical resistance play

BIOS
Dr. Headcrash is a poly pansexual Top, and has been practicing and teaching erotic hypnosis in a BDSM context for 25 years. A very psychological player (think "Dont Shoot the Dog" meets "The Story of O" with a healthy dose of old-school ASFR thrown in) and a bodybuilding sadist, he finds that the most interesting things happen at the intersection of the psychological, the physical, and the social. Dr. Headcrash teaches hypnosis as a collaborative process based on building trust and rapport between subject and hypnotist and encouraging effective communication on both sides. He is co-founder of the San Francisco Bay Area Erotic Hypnosis Group (a Society of Janus SIG) and one of the folks behind the Western Erotic Hypnosis Unconference. You can find him at DrHeadcrash.com, or on Fetlife as @headcrash.
@panavatar has been experimenting with trance states for over 20 years, mostly as a solo explorer and student, and has been a weirdo pervert for as long as she can remember. Since early 2013, she has especially been involved in the erotic hypnosis community, playing primarily as a subject, and is now one of the organizers of the SF Bay EH Group and WEEHU. Her interests as a presenter include teaching communication and consciousness-expanding skills to players of all experience levels. She identifies as: queer, femme, a bottom-leaning switch, polyamorous, sadomasochistic, an edge player, and a vampire fetishist. panavatar is property of Dr. Headcrash.
