With Shawn Kostiuk and Grant Saunders

If you’re into hypnosis—whether you’re a seasoned pro, a curious beginner, or somewhere in between—then you’ll know this already: there’s never a dull moment in our world.

Between international conferences, new shows, and fresh training events, the hypnosis community is absolutely buzzing right now. So, in case you missed it (or just fancy a quick roundup), here’s what’s hot in hypnosis this spring.

The Irish Hypnosis Conference is Here!

First up—Ireland is calling! Hypnotists and hypnotherapists from around the globe are landing in Dublin for the Irish Hypnosis Conference, and the excitement is real.

From the photos and updates already coming in, it looks like attendees are enjoying not just great learning opportunities, but also a bit of “the craic” (as they say over there!). With a top-notch speaker lineup including Dan Goyette, this one is shaping up to be a favourite for 2025.

Bunny Talk in Leeds – Claudia Ricciard Comes Home

Next stop, Leeds, UK! On Saturday, April 12, Claudia Ricciard brings her signature Bunny Talk Process to the Queen’s Hotel—a venue known for its luxury, golden pineapples, and stunning art deco vibes.

Originally from Yorkshire and now based in the U.S., Claudia is a powerhouse in the hypnosis world. This is her first time bringing the Bunny Talk training to the UK, and it promises to be something special. If you’re a hypnotherapist looking to add a playful, powerful tool to your practice—this one’s for you.

Spotlight on: Pacific Northwest Hypnosis Conference

Want to say, “I was there at the beginning”? Then check out the Pacific Northwest Hypnosis Conference hosted by Anthony Gitch. Still in its early years, it’s already building a strong reputation for community, connection, and cutting-edge content.

Think of it like a hidden gem: intimate, welcoming, and packed with value. You’ll meet great people and leave feeling recharged and inspired.

Heartland Hypnosis Conference – A Fan Favourite

Just a few weeks away is the Heartland Hypnosis Conference, hosted by William Mitchell. This one’s a firm favourite and for good reason—it offers multiple learning tracks including:

• Stage hypnosis
• NLP
• Business building
• Hypnotherapy
• Metaphysical hypnosis

It’s like a buffet of hypnotic knowledge, and you’ll walk away with more tools than you know what to do with!

HypnoThoughts Live – The Big On

Of course, we can’t talk about hypnosis events without mentioning HypnoThoughts Live. Still the biggest hypnosis conference in the world, this is where you go to build your network, reconnect with familiar faces, and soak up everything hypnosis-related.

Pro tip: Pair a major conference like HTLive with a smaller, niche event. You get the best of both worlds—big ideas and deep connections.

Performer News – Shows, Summits & Debut

From first-time performers to seasoned stage pros, there’s loads going on in the performance world too.

Casey Cox’s Debut Comedy Hypnosis Show

Coming up on Tuesday, April 8, Casey is taking the stage for her first official comedy hypnosis show—and trust us, it’s going to be a belter. She’s been a major supporter of the performance hypnosis scene and has been building this for years. If you can’t attend, do the next best thing—share the link and support one of our own.

Sean Kostiuk’s Magic & Hypnosis Double Header

Also on the radar is Sean Costak’s magic and hypnosis double bill happening Friday, April 4. It’s a fantastic blend of both worlds (with each staying in its lane), and it’s proof that hypnosis can entertain people from ages 16 to 70+ in one night!

HypnoWorld Magazine – Go Old School with Print

In a world of digital overload, HypnoWorld Magazine stands out. It’s a real, physical publication—and that’s a big deal. Not only can you submit articles, but having your work published in a printed magazine adds major credibility. Frame it, display it, leave it in your office for clients to flick through—instant authority.

ISHA Gets a Glow-U

The International Stage Hypnotists Association (AISHA) has just launched its new website, and it’s slicker, faster, and more user-friendly than ever. Whether you’re a veteran performer or just getting into stage work, it’s worth a look. Hats off to Nadian and the team!

Final Thought: Dream Venues and DIY Hustle

There’s been a lot of chat lately about dream venues and the importance of just knocking on doors. Whether it’s your local theatre, a high school gym, or a vintage club with a rich history—if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Some of the best shows happen in the most unexpected places. So make a list, reach out, and make your own opportunities. You never know where it might lead.

Until Next Time…
