Holographic Memory Resolution®: A Revolution in the Treatment of Trauma: Oklahoma City, TWA Flight 800, 9-11
Presenter: Brent Baum, CADC, CCH

In this pre-conference workshop, Brent introduces practitioners to the principles and dynamics of “HMR,” a body-centered, client-centered empowering approach which enhances access to memory while enabling the precise mapping and resolution of memory-based pathology.

A Course In Laughter: Comedy As a Healing Art,
Presenter: Steve Bhaerman

For more than 20 years, Steve Bhaerman in the guise of cosmic comic Swami Beyondananda has been entertaining and enlightening millions with his comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy?  In this laughter-filled workshop you’ll learn some of the secrets of creating transformational comedy and healing laughter.   We call what we are teaching “Situational Comedy,” because it is designed to help you use humor appropriately in almost any situation.  The best humor not only makes people laugh, it makes them smile.   It not only lightens our burdens, it enlightens us as the same time, offering both wisdom and compassion.  It heals the heart, and frees the mind.

Steve Bhaerman is an author, comedian and workshop leader who has performed comedy for the past twenty-one years as Swami Beyondananda.  As the Swami, he has authored four books, including his latest, Swami for Precedent:  A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction. On the “serious” side, he is author of a new book with biologist Bruce Lipton, Spontaneous Evolution:  Our Positive Future and How to Get There From Here.  Steve and Swami can be found online at www.wakeuplaughing.com
