Depth Hypnosis: A Rapid Path to Transformation with Isa Gucciardi, PhD

Join us for this special event with Dr. Isa Gucciardi. She will be talking about Depth Hypnosis, the ground-breaking spiritual counseling model she developed that brings ancient wisdom traditions together with modern therapeutic approaches to create a dynamic process for self- transformation. Her latest book on Depth Hypnosis explains how this integrative therapeutic modality uses the umbrella of Transpersonal Psychology to unify its multiple streams of understanding that includes hypnotherapy, Buddhist Psychology, shamanism, energy medicine, altered states work, and regression therapy.

Depth Hypnosis addresses a wide variety of imbalances like depression, anxiety, addiction, and spiritual emergence and a 2015 study found that it “provides expedient and significant shifts in symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and well-being.” Isa is an early pioneer of bringing shamanic and Buddhist techniques into the therapeutic environment. She is the Founding Director of the "Foundation of the Sacred Stream", a non-profit organization and school for consciousness studies in Berkeley CA. She lectures nationally and internationally and is on the faculty of Embodied Philosophy, Menla/Tibet House, Onaya, and a guest lecturer at UC Berkeley. She has written two other books "Coming to Peace" and "The New Return to the Great Mother", both were #1 bestsellers on Amazon. Her forthcoming book is  Depth Hypnosis: A Rapid Path to Transformation.
