A unique 2-hour event where intuitive artistry and healing sound unfold together. While you rest and receive a deeply restorative sound bath, each participant will be offered a personal intuitive reading, expressed through two unique artistic forms: Soul Sketch – A hand-drawn reflection of your innermost potentials, gifts, and soul essence. This sketch offers a glimpse into the deeper aspects of who you are, highlighting strengths and possibilities waiting to unfold. Sigil Drawing – A channeled symbol created specifically for you, designed to amplify your strengths and anchor your energy. As the sound bath carries you into states of relaxation and inner harmony, your soul sketch and sigil are created in real time—imprints of your essence brought forth through both vision and vibration. By the end of the event, you’ll leave with your personalized drawings, along with a deeper sense of clarity, empowerment, and connection to your inner wisdom. No prior experience is needed—just arrive open to receive and immerse yourself in the resonance of sound and soul.

Step into a transformative 3-hour group experience led by Saba Hocek, a certified hypnotist with nearly two decades of experience in regression and transformational work. This immersive session gently guides you through three separate past life regression journeys, each designed to reveal meaningful insights, release old patterns, and reconnect you with your deeper wisdom. No prior experience is needed—just an open mind and a clear intention.

What You’ll Experience

1) Opening Doorway Regression — “The First Glimpse”
Ease into a relaxed hypnotic state as you open the doorway to a past life most relevant to your present. You’ll gather an overview—who you were, where you lived, and the essence of that lifetime—without diving too deep, allowing your system to build comfort and trust.

2) Deep-Dive Lifetime Journey — “The Story Unfolds”
Once you’re grounded in the process, Saba will guide you into a more immersive exploration of a second lifetime. Most move through key moments, relationships, and choices, witnessing how that story concluded and what lessons it carries into your current life. This experience often brings powerful clarity, release, and emotional healing.

3) Karmic Thread & Integration — “Bringing It Home”
In your third regression, you’ll explore a recurring theme—such as love, self-worth, purpose, or creativity—and trace how it weaves through multiple lifetimes. You may meet inner guidance, reclaim strengths, and receive messages to help you align more fully with your present-day path.

Agenda 

  • Welcome & Intentions (15 min): Overview, setting intentions, and grounding.

  • Experience 1 (35 min): The Opening Doorway Regression + journaling.

  • Experience 2 (55 min): Deep-Dive Lifetime Journey + reflection.

  • Break (10 min)

  • Experience 3 (45 min): Karmic Thread & Integration journey.

  • Closing Circle (20 min): Sharing, grounding, and takeaway guidance.

What’s Provided

You’ll be fully supported with a comfortable mat, Blanket, journal, pen, and eye mask, allowing you to relax and document your experiences easily.

What to Bring

Just bring your intention—a theme, question, or area of curiosity you’d like to explore—and an open heart ready to receive insight.

A Safe, Supportive Space

This session uses gentle hypnosis and guided imagery in a group setting. You remain conscious and in control at all times, with Saba creating a grounded, nurturing environment for exploration and integration.

Who This Is For

  • Anyone curious about past lives and their influence today

  • Those seeking clarity in relationships, purpose, or recurring patterns

  • Individuals interested in self-discovery through a relaxed, hypnotic process

Outcome: Three unique journeys, one cohesive arc—and a renewed sense of understanding, empowerment, and connection to your soul’s timeless story.

Discover What Your Handwriting Reveals About You

Every curve, loop, and slant in your handwriting holds a secret. Beyond style or neatness, your writing is a direct expression of your subconscious mind — a map of your emotions, hidden fears, desires, and truths.

In this fascinating hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to read handwriting intuitively and interpret what the subconscious is expressing through the written word. Whether your writing is neat, messy, or constantly changing, you’ll be amazed by how much it reveals.

What You’ll Learn

  • How handwriting reflects emotional states, confidence, and thought patterns

  • The subtle signs of stress, joy, honesty, and hesitation within writing

  • How to uncover hidden fears and intuitive desires that even the writer may not consciously know

  • Techniques to use handwriting as a self-guidance tool — writing about a topic and then reading what your own words reveal

  • How to understand others more deeply through their writing style

You’ll also have the chance to practice live analysis in class — exploring samples, sharing insights, and experiencing first-hand how accurate intuitive handwriting can be.

Why Attend

This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in psychology, intuition, or self-development. You’ll leave with practical tools to:

  • Read between the lines — literally

  • Understand yourself and others at a deeper level

  • Gain insight into emotions and subconscious beliefs

  • Use handwriting as a reflective, healing, and intuitive practice

Certification
Upon completion, participants will receive a Certificate in Intuitive Handwriting Analysis, recognizing their understanding of the fundamental techniques and intuitive principles taught in the course.

Discover the wisdom hidden in every word you write — your handwriting knows more than you think.

Because one size never fits all.

You work hard to stay healthy — yet what works wonders for someone else may leave you feeling tired, hungry, or stuck. True weight management isn’t just about diet and exercise; it’s about understanding your body’s unique needs — physical, emotional, and energetic.

In this transformative class, you’ll explore how to align all three aspects of wellness for lasting results:

  • Physical: Learn which types of movement and exercise actually support your body type and metabolism.

  • Nutritional: Understand which foods nourish your energy rather than deplete it — and how timing, portions, and combinations affect you.

  • Emotional & Energetic: Discover the emotional triggers behind eating habits, and how your energy field influences weight balance.

Each participant will also receive a personal energetic biofeedback analysis, providing deeper insight into your body’s responses and helping identify patterns that may be holding you back.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A personalized understanding of what truly works for your body

  • Tools to release emotional and energetic blocks tied to eating patterns

  • Clarity on how to integrate exercise, nutrition, and mindset harmoniously

  • A renewed sense of empowerment — knowing your body’s wisdom and signals

Stop guessing what works. Start understanding what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Do you ever feel like you’re repeating the same patterns, even when you know better?

You set goals, make promises to yourself, even push forward with willpower — but somehow, the same habits and emotional blocks seem to reappear. That’s because true change doesn’t happen in the conscious mind — it happens in the subconscious, where your deepest beliefs and behaviors are stored.

By learning self-hypnosis, you gain direct access to that part of your mind — the part that shapes your confidence, motivation, habits, emotions, and success. You’ll discover how to speak the language of your subconscious, unlock your inner potential, and finally align your energy with your desires. Once you learn this skill, you’ll have the power to:

  • Achieve your goals with greater ease and clarity

  • Reprogram limiting beliefs into empowering ones

  • Strengthen focus, confidence, and calm under pressure

  • Manifest abundance, wellness, and self-trust naturally

  • Tap into your inner creativity and intuition at will

How You’ll Learn to Do This:

In this comprehensive certification workshop, you’ll gain hands-on experience with the most effective methods for entering and working within the hypnotic state — a state similar to deep meditation but far more transformative.

You’ll learn:
Multiple induction techniques to guide yourself into hypnosis with focus and ease — anytime, anywhere.
Methods to uncover subconscious patterns — through visualization, journaling, and intuitive awareness.
Tools to reprogram the subconscious — replacing old emotional triggers and limitations with new empowering beliefs.
Daily self-hypnosis practices for motivation, healing, creativity, and lasting change.

Through guided practice, clear instruction, and real-time exercises, you’ll not only understand self-hypnosis — you’ll master it.

You’ll Leave With:

  • A Certificate in Self-Hypnosis, recognizing your mastery of foundational techniques

  • The ability to enter and guide your own hypnotic state safely and effectively

  • Deep insight into your subconscious mind and the patterns shaping your life

  • Confidence in your power to create change and achieve your goals

  • A lasting connection with your inner magic — the creative force within you

When you learn to direct your subconscious, you become the creator of your own destiny.
Join us for this life-changing certification workshop and awaken the limitless power that’s been inside you all along.

Does this sound familiar?

Your hands shake before you speak.
Your voice trembles, your thoughts race, your mouth feels dry.
You prepare what to say, yet when the moment comes — your focus scatters or you start to ramble.
Maybe it’s during a work presentation, a toast at a wedding, a conversation at a networking event, a job interview, or even on a first date.

Public speaking and self-expression can feel intimidating — even for confident people. The fear of being judged, of freezing up, or of saying the wrong thing can make any occasion stressful.

This 4-hour interactive workshop is designed to change that.

You’ll experience a hands-on, highly interactive journey where you’ll see and feel the transformation happen in real time. Step by step, you’ll learn to stay grounded, calm, and composed — while speaking with authenticity, clarity, and confidence.

Saba Hocek, a mindset expert and transformational coach with nearly two decades of experience, will teach a unique and powerful technique she developed to retrain your inner dialogue and shift your body’s automatic response to pressure. Through guided power meditative techniques, you’ll release self-doubt and reframe the way you experience speaking — transforming nervous energy into confident presence.

We will guide you to find and strengthen your voice — helping you project with resonance, power, and emotional connection. You’ll discover how to use breath, posture, and tone to express yourself clearly, whether in front of a crowd or across a table.

You will walk away with:

  • Noticeable shifts you can feel and hear — during the workshop itself
  • A calm, confident presence in any situation
  • Control over shaking, rambling, and losing focus
  • A strong, resonant, and expressive voice
  • Tools for presentations, interviews, networking, and dating
  • A reliable technique to return to any time you need instant composure
  • Renewed trust in yourself and your ability to connect with any audience or person

Confidence isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.

By the end of this immersive workshop, you’ll see first-hand that the confident, calm, and expressive communicator you’ve always wanted to be is already within you — ready to speak, connect, and shine.
