Details
Dave Dobson was a psychologist and hypnotist whose Other Than Conscious Communication approached hypnosis through an indirect, client-generated style, similar to Ericksonian hypnosis. He was modeled by NLP founders Richard Bandler and John Grinder and taught the hypnosis portions of some of their early joint NLP trainings. Aside from his effective and extensive skill as a hypnotist and therapist, Dobson is remembered for his playful sense of humor and approach to the human experience, as witnessed by the annual funshops in which he continued to share his skills and teach others.
To celebrate Dobson's life and commemorate his recent passing on February 22, 2008, the Hypnosis Small Group will present an evening experiencing Dobson's "Beach Trip." The Beach Trip is one of Dobson's "Tuxedo Trances" (as he called formal trance inductions) and provides the participant with a relaxing retreat, as well as generative insight for desired outcomes. Join us as we first experience the Beach Trip, then examine the language used to generate this getaway.

"The change of venue was particularly good for this meetup. The new space has big comfy couches conducive to fully relaxed trances. Jamie Nichols did a good job preparing us for what we would experience in the trance. He used tapes of Dave Dobson inducing the trances so we could experience this mans work in his own voice. It seems like everyone got to some level of trance, and learn how to utilize the script for further self hypnosis. I would definitely recommend attending the next Meetup in June as Jamie is going to be taking us through some hypnosis basics. I'm confident that what he will present will help new comers as well as seasoned veterans of hypnosis."
