The late Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5 Rhythms movement practice, was a quintessential woman of the body and sometimes called an “urban shaman.” Gregory Bateson was an iconic man of the mind and a foundational contributor to most modern methods of systemic therapy. Bateson and Roth interacted at Esalen in the legendary times during the late 1970s and Bateson encouraged Roth to bring her creation into the world. This workshop will explore the work of these two pioneers and how to integrate movement and mind to create generative resources for change and healing.
Our relationship with our symptoms has a major influence on the way in which they become expressed. Helping clients to develop the capacity to mindfully reflect on symptoms and explore their potential positive functions or secondary gains can bring about both insight and transformation. This demonstration will present a method show the ability to “hold” symptoms from a state of curiosity and explore their “positive intention” using the generative change approach of engaging multiple intelligences.

Hypnosis continues as the "mother of the psychotherapies" by contributing new approaches to human facilitation. Specifically, we will learn to use the therapeutic
double bind, symptom prescription, and ideodynamic channeling to assess and facilitate a patient's inner resources.
The Ericksonian approach rests on the use of effective direct and indirect technique to access inherent resources and promote patient-based change. Lecture, demonstration, group exercise.
Milton Erickson's approach typically featured finding hidden personal resources and extending them into situations where they would help the client. We will first see a portion of this basic, but valuable, strategy in a video of Dr. Erickson; then have the opportunity to practice this strategy in a structured practice session.

The presenters will describe specific strategies for naturalistic trance induction and utilization. Emphasis will be on the adaptation and application of brief Ericksonian techniques, methods of naturalistic trance induction, deepening techniques and process instructions utilized to stimulate participants into shifting their perceptual positions and thinking about things differently.
Hypnosis may well be the original Positive Psychology. Anyone who does hypnosis does it because of a belief that people have more resources than they realize. Encouraging people to find and use these hidden resources through hypnosis is the subject of this workshop.

Consultation can be a valuable process in the provision of therapeutic services to clients. Traditional case presentation scenarios can lead to limited, reactive dialogues that solidify the therapist’s sense of “stuckness.” The reflecting team approach to consultation uses reflexive questioning to allow non-reactive associations free from the constraints of conversation thinking to access all of the participants’ inner resources. This workshop will explore the elements of meaningful consultation with discussion, video, and live demonstration.
