On May 25, Brian David Phillips will be conducting a three-hour workshop on TAROT TRANCE in Taipei (actually on the Keelung side of Shijr, very convenient to the Shijr train station).
The Tarot Trance workshop will teach participants a number of processes for directly accessing the archetypes of the Tarot within the subconscious for introspective meditative learning through a form of experiential trance.
Anyone is welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring their own Tarot decks (three, if you have them) but we will have a few decks on hand for those who do not have their own.
This is a hands-on workshop. Brian David Phillips (tarotist, hypnotist, and trance wizard) will demonstrate the processes and then participants will practice with one another so come prepared to learn by doing.
Previous knowledge of Tarot or experiential trance is not required.
One thing Brian David Phillips loves using Tarot for is introspective meditation and he has developed a number of processes using hypnosis or focused trance in which he guides others through the gates of Tarot into a special world of the unconscious where the archetypes of Tarot become very vivid within an experiential hypnosis context that is very worthwhile for the trance partner as they discover hidden lessons for self-benefit.
Within the TAROT TRANCE workshop, we will explore a number of these experiential trance techniques, including variations of a few that Brian David Phillips has previously taught and a number of new ones more recently developed that have never before been presented publicly.
- Single Card Journey Technique
- Three Card Foundation Spread
- Five Card Reading
- Tarot Reading without Cards
- and much more!
Those familiar with the periodic Hypnocasts by Brian David Phillips know that he has covered a couple TAROT TRANCE processes before (we've noticed that more professional hypnotists have begun offering readings based upon these very same processes). The "Through the Gate into Tarot" mp3 hypnocast at is still receiving positive comments and feedback. Of course the video episode with TAROT TRANCE demonstrations has garnered even more positive comments:
In addition to his full day workshop on advanced techniques of hypnosis, Brian David Phillips also taught a seminar on TAROT TRANCE at Hypnoticon last February.
This upcoming TAROT TRANCE workshop is an in-depth preview of one of the processes that will be taught in the upcoming Metaphysical Hypnosis courses (June 21-22 in Taipei [here], July 26-27 in Los Angeles [here]). Of course, the Metaphysical Hypnosis course covers a great many more processes, many used by trance wizards and more.
Many of you know that Brian David Phillips loves Tarot, he has collected various decks for their artistic and historical value for many years, has a hobbyist interest in their history, is the list owner of one of the oldest and more respected email lists related to the subject (TarotL) and even occasionally does readings, albeit usually not of a divinatory nature (see the Metaphysical Trance Services section of the Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams Hypnosis webpages for various Trance Wizard activities).
The TAROT TRANCE workshop on May 25 begins at 2:00pm and ends at 5:00pm.
This workshop is part of the work Brian David Phillips has with the Taipei Experiential Trancework Workshop and is open to anyone. The workshop is presented in English (Chinese interpretation is available - contact Lorraine Phillips here for details). Because this is a special event presentation we have a special pricing structure for the event. The workshop fee is NT$1000 (NT$800 for those who register before May 11, sorry, no refunds after May 11). Contact Lorraine Phillips to register via email at yuklan.law@msa.hinet.net and she will provide you with further details and instructions.
