7th Path™ Ultimate Recognitions of the 9th Degree Teachers

May 2009
Held in Tustin 
Instructed by Calvin D. Banyan, MA
National Guild of Hypnotists, Board Certified Hypnotherapist (BCH) and Certified Instructor (CI) and
Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services, Inc. Instructor
"I came to this class with high expectations given the outstanding training experiences I had already experienced at the Banyan Center. The 7th Path Ultimate's far, far exceeded anything that I could have imagined... It was a transformative, life-changing, paradigm-shifting, grace-filled two day journey. It is my deepest desire that everyone have an opportunity to experience the grace of this journey. This is an extraordinary experience with an extraordinary teacher. It will change your life forever for good forever."
Susan Gallaher, C.H., Huntington Beach, CA
"This course has transformed my life on levels that I know have yet to be revealed to me. For the first time in my life I know how to purposely connect to delta, and be filled and healed by delta's love. This experience has changed the course of my life - or rather clarified my true path. I am eternally grateful to Cal fro bringing 7th path into my life. At age 40 I feel healed for the first time in my life, something I had been working on for the past 25 years."
Danielle Hering, C.H., M.S., Yuma, AZ
"Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude! I am so grateful to have given myself the gift of the Ultimate Recognitions, and to Cal for sharing them!
"When you are inspired with some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds, your consciousness expands in every direction, your mind transcends all limitations and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far then you ever dreamed yourself to be" Patanjali 300-500 BC
For me, this has been conveyed thoroughly the first 2 days of the Ultimate's. Now I have a powerful tool to guide and maximize my life's journey to bring forth that which is within myself and others. What a blessing. Thank you!"
Jim Osborn, C.H., Tasmania, Australia

April 2009
Held in Tustin 
Instructed by Calvin D. Banyan, MA
National Guild of Hypnotists, Board Certified Hypnotherapist (BCH) and Certified Instructor (CI) and
Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services, Inc. Instructor
"This course has been a peak experience for me, all my journey over the last 10 years has brought ne to this place. It allows me to access all the work I want to perform in a professional and effective manner. I say this from a background of studying hypnosis for many years. The spiritual content at depth and effectiveness."
Raymond Newman, BA, MA, Psy.D, Adelaide, Australia
"The class was just as good perhaps even better the second time around and I highly recommend sitting thru the course again to seal in the learnings from the first time. Mr. Banyan is an excellent teacher! Not only in how it is taught, but the quality of what is being taught. Not only in how it is taught, but the quality of what is being taught. He does not hold back and provides us with everything that we need to be successful. The course covers everything from marketing to successfully performing age regression and forgiveness with all of the tips and techniques developed from the numerous clients that he has seen. The training model used, as well as the practice sessions, are conducive to the optimal learning environment. The added bonus is 7th Path, self-hypnosis sessions that are weaved into the trainings and used as a model on how to teach along with 5-PATH®"
Kimberly Saxon, BS, NLPP, Lorton, VA
"A jam-packed week of information that can be put into practice immediately.
Cal shares his knowledge in a timely method that is easy to learn and absorb. At the same time, Cal pushes each student to be the best they can be and go home ready to use what is learned the next day at home.
The mandatory practice times morning and afternoon, were invaluable.
Resources are readily available for sale and some were generously shared with us. So convenient!
The entire staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank-you so much."
Jo-Anne Eadie, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
"I am a psychotherapist in private practice for nineteen years. I have been on a continuous quest for therapeutic methods that work. 5-PATH® training delivered more than I ever imagined. The structure, logic, and power of this training is amazing. Cal Banyan had a reason for every technique and concept. His presentation was intense. If you sign up, get ready for a ride".
William Deacon, Sarasota, FL
"The Advanced Hypnotherapy Training course was transformative for me both personally and professionally. A lot of courses might promise to give you the tools you’ll need to be successful as a hypnotherapist, but this one really delivers. Cal is a dedicated and driven instructor, making every moment of the course valuable during the entire seven days. Furthermore, 7th Path, as a personally-transformative spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical practice – has brought surprising new insights about myself. I love it. Take this class! You’ll be grateful that you did."
Richard Blake, M.I.T., Bellingham, WA
"I expected a good course from Cal Banyan and this course exceeded my expectations 10X. Technically, the course was excellent, and the most professional course I have attended to-date. 5-PATH® will change my practice and my clients, however, 7th Path will change my world. This class is experiential and transformational. It receives my highest recommendation."
Tracy Krauthamer, BS, MNLP, Portland, OR
"The Week of Power was awesome, illuminating and rich with practical tips and tools. I love the mind, body spirit integration of 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self Hypnosis® and look forward to sharing it with my clients. Cal is a gifted teacher who generously shares his knowledge about all aspects of his 5-PATH hypnosis and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®."
Rebecca Jeffers, M.Ed. LPC, Fort Worth, TX
"This course was one of the toughest I have ever attended – both emotional and physical and it was worth every moment. You do not return home the person you came to this course as.
I strongly recommend this course to every hypnotist or anyone thinking about becoming a hypnotist. The practice time and information is amazing and very worthwhile. This will change your life in ways you can’t imagine when you start the course."
Rebecca Jeffers, Omaha, NE
"Great class – a lot of good information presented in an orderly and precise manner. This material really works. Thanks."
David Liberto, Menomonie, WI
NGH Hypnotherapy Certification (Plus 5-PATH® & 7th Path™)

January 2009
Held in Tustin 
Instructed by Calvin D. Banyan, MA
National Guild of Hypnotists, Board Certified Hypnotherapist (BCH) and Certified Instructor (CI) and
Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services, Inc. Instructor
"I found the course very enlightening and helpful. It has given me the confidence and the tools to begin my career as a hypnotherapist. Cal's method of teaching, inserting humor and discipline, along with his real world experience has been the cornerstone of the class. I am glad I made the investment to attend."
Gene Conley, Lake Forest, California
"Advanced Hypnotherapy Training with 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self Hypnosis® with Cal Banyan has been an incredibly enlightening experience in learning more about the nature of the mind and therapeutic application of hypnosis. An extremely valuable course. The staff and Maureen were very hospitable as well. Thanks."
Rob MacInnes, Bloomington, Minnesota
"I am very happy with both the practical training and comprehensive theory for starting my career as a 5-PATH hypnotherapist. I am completing this course with the confidence and knowledge I will need to open my own hypnotherapy practice.
But, that is what I was expecting/hoping to get. The 7th Path Self Hypnosis training blew me away. I cannot wait to begin teaching this powerful tool to my clients."
Steven Drysdale, North Vancouver, Canada
"This was by far the best and most informative class I have ever taken. The material was presented in a very professional manner. There was a lot of information - it's still being processed, creating a journey to learn more and expand my knowledge of all that was presented. The staff was very supportive and assisted, helped, coached to help get the desired results that were being presented and practiced. Cal does an excellent job in the presentation of all the materials, very knowledgeable on the videos being presented. To me the way Hypnotism was presented was vastly different than what I had seen or heard from others that have taken different courses. The 5-PATH process is simply the best way to do hypnosis on a client, getting to the core to solve the conflicts. 7th Path, I can't describe it, the class has to be taken to experience the change it brings about in you. Thank you Cal."
Vern De Buhr, Sun City, California
"Not what I thought it would be, but definitely an interesting course. Much information for starting a hypnotherapy business. 7th Path is an interesting alternative to allow clients to rejuvenate and renew their lives. 5-PATH is a systematic method of using hypnosis to help your clients. Combined, it will be hard to fail."
Dale Welch, Lompoc, California
"I have to say this was the most enlightening two weeks of my life. At this point, I feel as if I am capable of doing anything that I choose to do. I am confident in my abilities, but it is so much more than being just confident and capable, I have a knowing deep within me that I am going to be doing what it is that I am supposed to do. I am secure in the choices I have made. Thank you, Cal, Maureen and staff ."
Mary Balchi, Brooklyn, New York
"This course has been much more than a Hypnosis Certification and Advanced Hypnotherapy course, the depth of information presented, the systematic 5-PATH methodology will revolutionalize how you do hypnosis. 7th Path Self Hypnosis is the most powerful tool for personal transformation that I have experienced. Combining 5-PATH with 7th Path, provides a remarkably simple and elegant delivery system to produce deeply powerful and permanent changes in your clients. This class is remarkable, outstanding and life changing."
Susan Gallaher, Huntington Beach, California
"I got more out of this class than I expected. With 7th Path, I have a practice to sustain me the rest of my life. Cal is an effective teacher. He could be a little more warm and fuzzy..maybe someday."
Michael Canterbury, Lafayette, California
"Definitely more than I expected. I signed up because I experienced 5-PATH myself... and felt it was a very valuable tool that I wanted to incorporate into my psychotherapy practice. In addition to obtaining that valuable information, I experienced a life altering process through 7th Path. I fell more alive and more grateful for the life I have. I feel a stronger connection to my creator... like the path to finding Heaven or Earth has been revealed to me. I am eternally grateful for the gifts I have received these past two weeks."
Danielle Hering, MS, LMFT, Yuma, Arizona
"Cal Banyan is at the pinnacle of his profession. He is genuine, unpretentious and full of wisdom. For those seeking to find answers, deeper understanding with clarity, gain a new perspective in an open, honest, caring, non-judgmental environment, this is the place to be."
Chuck White, Charlotte, North Carolina
"I thought this was an excellent program. The approaches themselves are very structured processes (i.e. 5-PATH and 7th Path). However, the training also had a nice blend of 'Tell, Show, Do' helping the student internalize learnings. As an instructor, Cal brings a wealth of practical experience which keeps things lively and brings key concepts to life. Very well done."
Mark B. Gamble, MBA, CFP, Bainbridge Island, Washington
