2 Great Shows to Check Out This Week

Nearly three years ago I shifted my focus as an entertainer from stand-up comedy to a fun, family friendly, informative and (most important) unique hypnosis show. 

Rather than a carnival-like atmosphere, my goal is for the volunteers and audience to gain an appreciation for the practice of hypnosis and visualization.  I want to dispel the misconceptions about hypnosis, and focus on its use as a tool for health, wellness, happiness and success.  

I’ve since created a myriad of versions of “Hypnotic Experience” to address the needs of a specific audience.  There’s a comedy show for high school after proms and college social events; strolling entertainment for street fairs and community festivals; and even a more academic version for psychology and health classes.

This week I have two performances lined up that I’d like to invite you to attend:

GreenWheaton Anniversary Gala in Wheaton, Maryland

Wednesday, June 25 from 6 PM to 9 PM

This is one of my most favorite charitable events of the year because GreenWheaton is such a fabulous organization with such an important mission.  Unlike other more policy oriented environment groups, GreenWheaton works at the grassroots level helping businesses and households adopt more sustainable practices.

I performed as a strolling entertainer at last year’s gala and had a wonderful time.  Here is a write-up of my experience sharing hypnosis with attendees.

Good Vibes from "Green" Hypnosis

Last night I had the pleasure and honor of entertaining guests at GreenWheaton’s anniversary gala at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD.

This is a wonderful organization comprised primarily of volunteers who educate and help businesses and residents in the Wheaton community adopt environmentally sustainable and friendly practices.  There were a number of like-minded groups who were part of the event, working on similar initiatives in communities such as Annapolis, Bethesda, Poolesville and Silver Spring.

How did the hypnosis go?

It was a success and very much in line with expectations.  Rather than a stage show, I worked the room and engaged small groups of guests in a discussion about the health and wellness benefits of positive visualization.  My message was right in step with the philosophy of being green.

I took those who were interested through a simple hypnotic induction, focusing on themes of stress management, confidence and positive feelings.

It was loud with music and chatter, so no one really achieved a deep level of hypnosis.  Yet, I did receive many compliments from guests and the event organizer – Wendy Howard of WH Consulting – gave me the “thumbs up” on my participation at the event.

Vendors displayed their "green friendly" products.

 

GreenWheaton has relationships with similar community groups.

 

BethesdaGreen also runs a business incubator for green friendly companies.

 

This company helps homeowners achieve cost savings by going green.

Going Green with Hypnosis

I have the privilege and honor to perform “Hypnotic Experience” to support organizations that provide a meaningful service to the community.

Last month, I was part of the entertainment line-up at Nourish Now’s annual fundraiser.  On June 30, I’m hosting an evening of comedy and music in partnership with Sofire Music to benefit the Operation Renewed Hope Foundation.

And I’ve been invited back to perform at the Bradley Farm Haunted House festival in October.  This event benefits Herndon-Reston FISH, a charitable group in Northern Virginia.

Now, I am thrilled to share with you that I’ll be part of an event to raise money for GreenWheaton, a non-profit that provides education and outreach that promotes Wheaton, Maryland as a model sustainable community with a green and healthy environmental footprint.

On Thursday evening June 27^th at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, the organization will host its anniversary gala for friends, supporters, residents, local business owners and county representatives.  The event will feature an electric car show, door prizes, and local beer, wine and food.

Money raised from the event will be put to good work, funding educational events for the Wheaton community on the importance of living and working green.

I’ll be at the event to engage small groups of guests to demonstrate the power of positive visualization in a fun and entertaining fashion.  My focus on health, wellness, stress management and life achievement is right in step with the philosophy of GreenWheaton.

So…please join me on June 27^th at Brookside Gardens to recognize this wonderful group.  Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at this link.

GreenWheaton's annual gala is on June 27th at Brookside Gardens.
