Into to Hypnokink and Trance Lab

Learn the basics of hypnokink and trance!

This 2-hour class aims to equip beginners with the basic skills and knowledge you need to start safely exploring erotic hypnosis on your own. We’ll use a mix of lectures, demonstrations, and "hands-on" practice to ensure that students leave with a solid foundation in erotic hypnosis.

Intended Audience:

The Erotic Hypnosis Practice Lab is for anyone that wants to learn and practice the basics of erotic hypnosis. We welcome those who have never experienced hypnosis, those who have played but want to learn the fundamentals, those who have only recently heard about hypnosis, and anyone who wants to practice basic trance skills in a contained environment.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone can feel comfortable learning and growing. As such, if you need any accommodations so that you can fully enjoy the class, please message us directly.

What will you learn?

During this workshop we will cover the following topics: overview of hypnosis, the importance of consent, anatomy of a scene, and managing risks.

Much of the workshop is dedicated to "hands-on" practice. You will learn two contrasting inductions and practice going into trance and inducing trance in others. Practice takes place in groups of three. One person will be the hypnotist, one will be the subject, and the third will observe. We’ll run the exercises 3 times so that each person experiences all 3 roles. You can always opt out of any exercise at any time - we accept and expect nothing less than enthusiastic consent.

There is a flight of stairs to reach the venue. Doors open at 11:15 - please come early to take your shoes off and get settled. We always aim to start on time! Please note that no one will be let in after our consent agreements, approximately 10 minutes after 11:30am.

Regular price is $25. If this ticket price is a barrier to you attending the class, please contact us. We want you there!

Meet the Instructors

MindTop (aka Cabel, he/him), has been teaching hypnosis on and off (mostly) in the Bay Area for almost a decade now. He is into con-non-con, memory play, and coercion. During his free time, you can find him playing board games, learning to cook, and exploring the city.

Resonate (she/her) was introduced to hypnokink in 2017 and immediately realized she'd been doing it her whole life. She is a hypno-switch who tends toward artistic, weird, challenging, and joyful play, with a special interest in power exchange between players of equal status.
