Ontogonic Therapeutic Hypnosis Training Intensive that will be offered in early 2025 with Carlos de León; is the second year of a two-year Training Program, offered as a 7-day intensive residential retreat, which begins on January 31, 2025. The program welcomes the current group of students who have completed the first year of the residential training, as well as students who have previously completed the Hypnosis Training offered in Mexico and Canada. Acceptance into the program requires approval by Carlos de León.

This second year of the training program is offered as a 7-day retreat intensive, running from January 31 to February 6, 2025.  The wide-ranging curriculum addresses various approaches and applications of hypnosis, including its incorporation into therapeutic and healing sessions. It explores the dynamics of suggestion, the induction and deepening of trance states, the development of hypnotic power—including sensory disturbances and psychic phenomena—and the myriad applications of hypnosis. These applications range from body/mind therapy, sports medicine, and police investigations to psychic and spiritual development, as well as the profound exploration of consciousness!

We start with the compelling science behind hypnotherapy, explore the fascinating connection between the conscious and unconscious minds, learn how hypnotherapy is helping millions triumph over addictions, fears, traumas, and self-sabotage, and discover the quickest, most straightforward route to mastering and facilitating the process as a certified hypnotherapist.

Training Program Objectives:

Guiding students to a deeper awareness and potential of hypnosis and its applications;

Generating a deep and clear understanding of hypnosis, ensuring that its various techniques and theories are readily accessible to assist patients in their self-healing and transformational processes;

Introducing a variety of approaches to hypnosis and practicing to perfect the techniques;

Using hypnosis to support other types of therapeutic treatments and counselling; and

Learning to explore deeper states of consciousness and develop human consciousness through hypnosis.

VISION & GOALS for an Ontogonic Hypnotherapist includes the complete acquisition of these attitudes, skills, and proficiencies:

To follow the principles of Ontogonic Body-Mind Therapy: Activate, Allow, Observe and Assimilate;

To create a state of awareness that allows the experience of ‘True Nature’ – for both the therapist and the patient;

To embrace the material from ‘True Nature’ so that instant assimilation occurs;

To maintain a perspective of Love, Freedom, Grace, and Pleasure as the Goals of Therapy;

To offer consistent diagnosis, based permanently in the here and now;

To work directly and intuitively with the total flow of the moment, without getting lost in the parts;

Aim at the ultimate goal of transforming neurosis, making the unconscious conscious, and supporting the opening and expansion of a new sense of freedom.
